@bstn Bear Blog? At least from my understanding. Else use a static file generator and throw the final html, css and media files on any web server you prefer?

@rene Maybe. But what will we hear in time about the creator of Bear? Perhaps nothing bad. I’m not even referring directly to him. My point is that there’s never any guarantee that we won’t find out something about the owner of a particular platform or their working methods that will turn our worldview on its head.
I’ve never used a static site generator before. I don’t know if I’d be able to manage as a complete novice with only a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.

@bstn I personally trust Herman, but I'll get your point. Thats why I decided to own the full stack, my website, my Fediverse instance and the Bluesky PDS. This comes with a price (money is comparable low, but time invest is not).
Static file generates are not that hard to use. They usually come with templates you can use. But they are not that easy to use either. I currently build a Open Source frontend that can be in front of any static file generator to simplify publishing content, as I do find that this is the hardest thing to deal with these kind of systems (though things such as Pages CMS exist and do a great job, I still find them to complex).
