But it looks like you need a .org to self-host WP, and like 99% of WP-built sites are .com as far as I've seen. I definitely do not know the technicals about different ways to host/build on the same platform, so I certainly defer to you there, but in any case, my bet is that any site/platform that gets scraped indiscriminately will lead to a lot of circular AI training. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) There are A LOT of self hosted Wordpress sites out there. Many of them you wouldn’t know unless told they were Wordpress (I believe both The Verge and TechCrunch use self hosted Wordpress). I myself have two self hosted Wordpress sites. Though I’ve been considering moving away from Wordpress for awhile now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Roldyclark@literature.cafe 2 points 2 years ago Yeah there are def more self hosted than not. Wordpress.org is just the site for the open source project. Most hosting sites come with 1 click WordPress installs. I’ve built so many sites with it. permalink fedilink source parent
