closer to Drupal than it is to WordPress

Ouch! Thanks for that assessment. As much as I’ve favoured Hubzilla in my considerations lately, I’ve gotten a similar impression going over their docs. I just needed someone else to put their finger on it.

Bonfire — yeah, our timing is off as far as their development goes 🙂 But I think/hope we have time to wait it out before Wordpress realises their “AI” plans(?)

I could reach out to Bonfire, but imagine someone like you would have more cachet with them? Plus, knowing open source development, users asking for/wanting a thing doesn’t necessarily translate into developers changing their focus to that. But it’s worth a try!

Thanks for the heads up! It’s a rollercoaster with Classicpress, but good to have it back in the race.

“Signal is better than WhatsApp” is certainly faint praise. Signal is centralised, and has historically been hostile to third party developers who dared play in their sandbox. Signal likes to flaunt their FLOSS and privacy cred, but it’s basically built as another data silo, and pretty aggressively protecting their “brand”.
