i'm looking for a place/means/medium for texts that i write. content is essays on topics that i find worthy writing about with hints towars philosophy (i guess).

twenty years ago the right answer to my question would have been a (we-)blog - what's the current day equivalent for such a venture?

optimally, a solution would neither be based on lock-ins, data collection/aggregation or other shady business and would be freely (e.g. in a web browser, no login/registration required) and easily accessible.

Wordpress recently started offering fediverse federation. That it exists is the sum total of what I know about it, but I can see the potential.

WordPress is still the best option IMO. The software and ecosystem are very mature and as you say they're friendly to the fediverse too

i used wordpress for over a decade but left last year when the AI hype started ramping up and there were reports that even selecting the option to turn off post scraping doesn't work because the bots blocked by the site's robots.txt doesn't update.

basically: wordpress doesn't let you control AI scraping so is it still the best platform those of us worried about that are gonna be able to find?
