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 So your independently hosted Wordpress site is largely uneffected and fine. But it’s not great that the open source ecosystem is having to deal with all this strife and drama.

A lot of web developers use Wordpress as the backbone of their custom site building business, so things are generally just a little tense all around for people who care about the long term health of the platform.

@FlatFootFox Thanks for the explainer! I knew there was the open-source side and the services side, I was hoping (for now at least) my installations wouldn't be directly affected. Fingers crossed things get worked out long-term. :)
