Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I consider wordpress open core at best these days.
A lot of really basic features like lightboxes that should be in core are in their "jetpack" SaaS plugin. This by default sends automattic a whole bunch of telemetry, which I assume they are now selling to OpenAI, and puts ads in your dashboard for other commercial SaaS features.
There's also the fact that they don't allow forks of open source plugins in their plugin repository.
One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.
From Wikipedia:
I mean with fediverse stuff there is no need to buy the data, you can just take it with no limitation
Yeah, i would hope they respect that but for some reason i doubt that.
Didn't know that Misskey forks have this Pages feature. Found this https://darnell.day/hey-tumblr-and-medium-fediverse-lovers-its-time-to-misskey which explains a bit about it. Is Misskey still actively developed ? Is there an overview of the forks ?
It is actively developed. Some forks are Firefish, Foundkey, Sharkey, IceShrimp
Thanks!
