> Is it too much to ask to keep politics out of software recommendations and social media version announcement updates? Frankly, yes. Things have become so bad that the more people taking a stand and showing they don't support a party that has no issue with racism, sexism, misogyny and various other kinds of bigotry, the better. Sitting on the sidelines shouldn't be an option for most ethical people based in the US,…

Your reply is exactly the reason to keep politics out of software recommendations. Dialled in hyperbole, frantically listing your grievances about XYZ, isn't the moral high-ground you think it is.

Wrong. There was nothing hyperbolic about what I said.

And being against bigots is always a moral high ground.

I think it’s funny he starts off by pointing to the controversy about WordPress’ CEO being a jerk and by the fourth paragraph he’s talking about how the CEO of the alternative CMS he recommends also has a reputation for being a jerk so you should host it elsewhere.

At that point I closed the tab.

Sort of reminds me of people fleeing Twitter/X due to not liking the new owner only to discover the people running Mastodon instances, BlueSky and uh Facebook Threads are not necessarily to their liking either.

At a certain point I just decided to be ruthlessly utilitarian in my approach to vendors. I never need to like the ceo, founder, etc. I don’t even expect them to treat me well for very long, I just need a viable plan for when the relationship turns. The great thing about low expectations is they are so often exceeded.

Why is GitHub better than WordPress?

Static sites are ~impossible to hack, whereas a WordPress site needs to be kept constantly up to date or else. And as we've learned recently, you're only one Matt tantrum away from having the flow of security updates interrupted. You could use another host because GitHub if you'd like, but GitHub Pages is unambiguously better than WordPress unless you actually need a CMS.

GitHub can't be hacked? (o;
