Until I retired I ran my own website on Wordpress. When I retired I closed that but got involved with a local boat club and helped set up their site on WP. Left that a few years ago and someone else runs it now. Consequently although I've noticed some disagreements about WordPress on here I haven't really been paying attention. What's the situation? I'm thinking of creating a new blog, is WP still a decent option? What's the TL:DR version of events? #wordpress #blogging
@pthane so the most suscinct summary is that automatic, the company that stewards wordpress and is responsible for most of its development has been doing more and more shady stuff.
As a result a lot of people are feeling more reluctant to recommend it as a platform.
