I find it amusing too.

I don't hold user data or regulated data... so I'm hopefully one of the cases that isn't illegal, but if I'm wrong then please let me know a worthwhile wordpress.com -> static site tool. With a baby abusing my free time, new hosting has been a low priority.

Update: I don't like that Facebook gets told what you read on my site, but I'm not sure it indicates much to them, maybe they'll sack Facebook employees who read this? Let me know.




Jekyll has a self-hosted wordpress [1] and a wordpress.com [2] import tool. Jekyll works on GitHub pages and GitLab pages, the GitHub option requiring very little effort to use. Posts are easy to write in Markdown, which is used in a basic form here on HN, and themes are readily available and easy to make.

If you don't mind losing the like counter, you can just switch to a static link for the like button. Here's a WP plugin that does essentially that:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/optimized-sharing/

(I haven't used that plugin, but it's similar to what I normally do in WP themes manually)


Among the interesting choices, this was posted this week I think https://blot.im/ (not self hosted)

I personally like Ghost, although it is not without its critics. Jekyll is great too.
