Gregory's Server@Sarahp Considering that the majority of websites are run on WordPress, this could have a huge impact on the Fediverse.

 @die_socke @Mrfunkedude @Sarahp Indeed, WordPress is owned by the WordPress Foundation. But the plugin is available on all sites using WordPress, so it will have a big impact nonetheless.  @die_socke @Mrfunkedude yes i know and it's clear in the post that the WordPress plugin will now work on .org and .com. Where is the confusion on your end as the reader? happy to further clarify  I have a WordPress site. Paid at personal level. I can't use plugins unless I upgrade to a business plan at $25/month. Way too much.  @EricLawton @Sarahp @die_socke I did that for a year and it was horrible. Self hosted is the way to go. I pay $300 for two years. They set it all up for me, all I have to do is manage it. The only drawback is that you no longer are part of the wordpress.com discovery unless you purchase one of the jetpack options.  @EricLawton @Sarahp @die_socke @Mrfunkedude There is always self hosting. I pay I think $10/month to Digital Ocean, run 4 Wordpress sites on it with their own domains (plus a 5th, Python Flask Blog). If I needed it it would be easy to scale it up too but I have never needed it. Plenty of tutorials to install Apache/SQL/PHP, though I think Digital Ocean offeres Droplets with Wordpress pre installed. |
