A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How exactly is WordPress going to do that? Its literally FOSS Software...
I guess they're talking about wordpress.com which is a commercial product, and not wordpress.org which is the foss software.
Ah ok its the .com forgot that existed.
Fuxake! Now I've gotta move my blog?
Your choice. Rememnber to read the TOS of the new place before you do... or self-host and just make sure to keep it secured and comply with data protection legislations. 🤷
Correct, AFAIU.
A whole load of features that should be in the (foss) wordpress core are in the proprietary SaaS plugin called jetpack which is run by wordpress.com. This includes invasive telemetry which they deliberately make hard to disable.
