@technews My first impression of Emdash, the "spiritual successor" to WordPress by Cloudflare is that it will reproduce a crap experience for admins, but now written in TypeScript. The basic architecture is the same and plugins have the same permissions to add content to the dashboard, so enshittification will continue. By contrast, #GhostBlog is a true spiritual successor to the better days of #Wordpress before it pivoted from a blog engine to a content management system.
