Hacker News Reader

I've been a WordPress user for years. I don't want integrated AI. Sure hope I'll be able to ignore it.

I've been running websites on WordPress almost as long as WordPress has existed, my oldest site has been running on it continuously for 20+ years[1]. Between forcing Gutenberg into the core (it should have been a plugin), Mullenweg's recent unhinged actions (e.g., the ACF fiasco[2]), the increasing number of naggy subscription-based plugins, and now this contemptible AI integration, I'm going to start the process of migrating my sites, probably to ClassicPress[3].

Oh well, we had a pretty good run.

Great site. I’ve been reading since the beginning. I even copied your format on a shortly lived site about 19 years ago.

This one is my favourite.

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm probably going to use classic press next time I need a wp like cms (assuming its security doesnt suck).
