WriteFreely: An open source platform for building a writing space on the web

Write.as

I'd noticed some years back that this project seems to have started with a pretty strong anonymity story: https://write.as/ That seemed to diminish in emphasis a few years ago, stopped accepting accounts that didn't give you a credit card end of 2021, and some year recently (last year? I forget…) seemed as though the warrant canary missed a couple updates. (It's up to date now, with an assertion of no warrants ever.) Are the anonymous speech principles of write.as still as important as when it was launched? Or did the business model for that just not work? There aren't a lot of options in this class (which I love seeing make it): https://write.as/ https://mataroa.blog/ https://bearblog.dev/ And… that's about it? While these other two talk about "no trackers", and mataroa emphasizes ethical (and non-SEO!) speech, only write.as seems to have had had the emphasis around importance of anonymity. TIA for any story you can comment on.

UberSpace

I happily pay some money for not maintaining another server/service in my private time. 10€/month for a managed server with ssh, Postgres, MySQL, mail, and backups is worth it for me: https://uberspace.de/en/ (not affiliated, just a happy customer).
