@sass @Daojoan

Any recommendations for alternatives to WP that can be self hosted and as easy to install? I am frustrated with the path Automattic/Matt has choen to take.

@MichaelBishop @sass Don’t make yourself more problems than necessary. As long as you self-host, you will be fine with WP. Before you switch to another blog, let the situation develop further.

Some of this may be misunderstandings due to Automattic being tight-lipped, but the Intelligence Community has an adage that you gauge an adversary’s capabilities, not their intentions, and Wordpress must now be classified as adversarial or untrusted software.
