asking for a friend: what platform would you recommend for personal blogging?

they would like to avoid dependency on big tech, but need a way for non-technical person to be able to set up crossposting to mainstream social media sites, where their friends and customers are now...

@hi there is a WordPress as a service at OVH. Not sure if this is to be considered non-big-tech.

wordpress sounds like overkill for their case.
they probably would like to be able to migrate to static files later.

@hi yeah, I only heard of them quite recently but look good!
I got a basic email server with them, but the web pricing doesn't seem too bad either
