It used to be a convenient way to keep up with friends and share photos. It took a while to turn into a politics-filled hell-hole where making people argue in the comments got prioritized because any engagement is good engagement.

I don't know if there's a way around that, but I suspect there is. I wouldn't mind someone trying.

I went to Singapore to chew gum, watch porn online, be gay, have 1 gram of cannabis, and I'm all out of gum, which is good, because all of those things are illegal.

There's been one political party in power for decades. A guy went to the place where you're allowed (gee thanks) to speak freely, and then got arrested for speaking freely. You can get the death sentence for having some drugs. All male citizens have to do a year of military service.

It's a lovely place to spend a short time, but there's no way I'd ever live there.

Oh look, a calm, measured, reasonable comment on the internet.

Even in your edit you ended with uncertainty.

You think the entire nation of China needs a small amount of money from Elon?

China is the largest holder of foreign reserves in the world, and has been for years. We're talking trillions of dollars, not a few billion.

There's dozens of us! Oh wait, yeah.

Ah, is that why my headphones sound all weird for a second when a call comes in and the audio hasn't paused yet?

Think of the number of times you've needed your phone to be waterproof versus the number of times you could have plugged in a decent pair of headphones and not had Bluetooth introduce lag and mono audio.

I can't remember the last time I cared about data speed for a USB cable, but charging speed is useful when I'm charging my phone before leaving the house.

I know several of the bands are legit. I enjoy some GUNSHIP, especially because their music videos are excellent. Timecop1983 is well worth listening to. Mac Quail is on there, he did the soundtrack for Mr. Robot. Vangelis is on there, famous for the soundtrack to at least Bladerunner.

There are more that I recognize as good artists, too.

Hey everyone, check out my app, you just need to spend like $3500 on this bespoke hardware first!

Apologies for the laziness here, but I self-host a WordPress site with a bunch of old blog posts that are now private. I'm not ready to make it an offline archive yet (maybe I'll restart blogging one day), but I'm not interested in supporting or otherwise using WordPress any more. I don't have any major requirements or plugin dependencies.

What is a good alternative to self-hosting WordPress these days?

Edit: thanks for the suggestions so far. One key requirement is the ease of importing hundreds of WordPress posts from its output format. I don't really want to manually process them all, I did that to get them into WordPress way back when I switched to it.

Wow, they're really churning them out. I've still only seen the first season or two, and I really enjoyed what I saw. I hope the quality remains as high at this speed.
