anomalocaris@jmsdnns Their security and privacy were terrible until, under massive public pressure, they fixed it. And then everyone kept using it because I guess they were magically no longer a shitty company looking to squeeze money out of their users every which way... and now, here we are. Just use Jitsi, for goodness' sake - why everyone hasn't switched to the perfectly capable, libre, self-hostable alternative is beyond me.
davehodg@jmsdnns @anomalocaris I’d like a list of right-on hippy alternatives. Jitsi and Mastodon are a start.
@jmsdnns @anomalocaris oh, and hosting your own blog. I’m cooling on giving other people my data.

#writefreely is a single binary multi-user blog platform. I quite like it. Here's an explainer (which is itself hosted by my WF instance):

with the caveat that I offer no guarantee of service, i can spin you a trial account to play around with.
@anomalocaris @jmsdnns @tezoatlipoca I’m self-hosting Wordpress for now. I have the source and database. That’ll do for now.
@davehodg I'm going to very unhelpfully suggest just picking up HTML, then CSS and a tiny bit of basic PHP and just coding your own - a webpage is an easy and fun thing to build, you can even just copy a basic template and tinker with it to suit your needs (a good way to learn HTML). All the interactivity that WordPress offers, that's a lot more work, but who needs all that newfangled Web 2.0 gimmickry anyway?
@anomalocaris There are many useful plugins.
@davehodg But it can never be as much fun as navigating the Byzantine outer reaches of PHP!
