@FediTips Asking as someone who’s never had a blog, and thus has never done any research into the available options for having one, what would be the difference between Ghost and WordPress, which is also FOSS and federated?

Ghost is more similar to Substack as it optionally allows paid subscriptions to newsletters. A lot of journalists use paid newsletters to get income from their writing.

WordPress is more of a general blog and site creation platform and AFAIK doesn't have the optional paid content.
