While the launch of a survey isn't necessarily a commitment to federating Ghost, it is another signal pointing to the broader reshaping of the web that's now underway.
Not a bad option, but what are the potential advantages over using the Pages feature of Misskey forks, or simply Wordpress?
Substack itself didn’t even present a correct UI to me on mobile so I never bothered with it when it was initially popularized. Still seems to have the issue, too.
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.
That’s really good to know, thanks, I’d assumed they were a shitty blob company until I heard they were adding federation, but I guess that intuition was correct. Sounds almost Threads-tier.
That’s a dealbreaker for me, I may consider badgering people in my Wordpress RSS folder to ditch it, on a case-by-case basis. Even liberals are sensitive to AI stuff because it upsets them to see Journalism Infringed
FediDB is really the best way to look around for servers. Totally being actively developed, there’s way too many forks IMHO, but I’m sure the project maintainers would disagree for the time being.
Misskey.io seems to have range banned a lot of stuff so it’s not a good demo instance. You can’t translate the Japanese posts while logged out, either!

One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.
From Wikipedia:
I mean with fediverse stuff there is no need to buy the data, you can just take it with no limitation
You’re not wrong in all likelihood, but Mastodon and Misskey and their forks all have a thingy to send an opt out of AI scraping request.
Yeah, i would hope they respect that but for some reason i doubt that.

Didn’t know that Misskey forks have this Pages feature. Found this https://darnell.day/hey-tumblr-and-medium-fediverse-lovers-its-time-to-misskey which explains a bit about it. Is Misskey still actively developed ? Is there an overview of the forks ?
