I've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks about how Ghost is going to avoid ending up in the same situation as WordPress.
A lot of trust in open source has been broken.
So, I spent some time writing up how we structure and think about business, governance, open source, community, and ecosystems more broadly.

Richard Spencer was the white supremacist who, after Trump's 2016 victory, gave a speech shouting, "Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!" while people in the audience gave Nazi salutes.
And now, he says he's voting for VP Kamala Harris for president.
The oddest timeline.

in reply to Ponytail • • •@ponytail I never had a TikTok account so I don't know what a TikTok user would expect from a "free alternative".
I got into it because I like making videos. But now I realize that I lack space on my mobile for a feature-rich camera app. :( Have to take a closer look once the Android app is out.
