I’m dealing with some health issues at the moment, and it’s getting exhausting to update everybody one by one, so I’m looking for some ideas of where to host a blog in a way that might give my friends & family a small, painfree introduction to the fediverse, or at least something that’s more on the FOSS side of things. A family friend used caringbridge.org a few years ago, which looks like a not so terrible fallback option, but I figured I’d see what else is out there before making a decision. The last time I really did much blogging was probably 20 years ago on livejournal, so I’m pretty out of touch with the current options.

    Wordpress has fediverse integration if you want to run something.you need a domain but you can use something like Oracle free tier to host it. Not sure of a public one though.

            A lot of FOSS software has trademark… I don’t think Matt was completely in the wrong either.

              I agree he isn’t in the wrong. The way he is doing it is absolutely wrong and a tool bag for doing it.
