Mastodon lacks a lot of basic features, like full text search.


This look interesting, potentially a wordpress replacement?


Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I consider wordpress open core at best these days.

A lot of really basic features like lightboxes that should be in core are in their “jetpack” SaaS plugin. This by default sends automattic a whole bunch of telemetry, which I assume they are now selling to OpenAI, and puts ads in your dashboard for other commercial SaaS features.

There’s also the fact that they don’t allow forks of open source plugins in their plugin repository.




“In every political community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times. Ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally.” - Phil Ochs


Wikipedia has strict notability requirements, which is what spawned the popularity wikia/fandom which is a pretty terrible user experience.

Wikipedia also has an infamously pro-neoliberal bias.
