@foolishowl @beep Yeah, for my personal website I've been trying to make it less bloated. I used self-hosted WordPress for many years but got tired of the hosting costs going up and constant upgrades. A few years ago I migrated the whole thing to Jekyll/GitHub Pages and I've been pretty happy with this as the site is now static and hosting is free. I can't do anything beyond simple edits using my phone or support comments/ActivityPub, but overall it's worth it to me.

At one point I had a comments system running on a statically rendered Hugo site on GitHub pages, but Heroku, which I was using to power it, sunset their free tier. My immediate reaction was pleasure to not support comments any more.
