Since Mastodon is more techie I’ll ask here.

I’m too much of a layman to understand all the Wordpress shenanigans going on. I have a Wordpress installation on my web service to generate my comic strip website.

Does all this brouhaha affect or risk that, or is it more to do with the Wordpress hosting services and the like? Thanks. :) #wordpress

@cooner I see other folks have already answered, because Mastodon *is* more techie. :) As a footnote, I suspect WordPress is going to be forked at least once over this, and there's already a "ClassicPress" fork that I suspect will get more attention soon. (Basically, developing WP from the point before they added the Gutenberg editor that everybody seems to hate. I'm both a computer nerd and a type nerd and I found Gutenberg utterly baffling.)
@arilin Thanks! I'll be honest, I really just use the automated "Install WordPress" script my hosting service provides, so I'm sorta hoping they’ll take care of updating that if and as necessary. ^.^
