After the news broke that WordPress and Tumblr would be selling users' data to train AI tools (404 Media) I decided to start looking for a new CMS to migrate my sites to. While I didn't use Automattic's hosted WordPress (WordPress.com) and instead the self-hosted, open source WordPress (WordPress.org), I've been generally unhappy with WP for a long time, and I certainly do not support their decision.
