Do you mean like Wordpress? The upselling and throttling alone. I haven’t used it in years, maybe it’s better?

  You know, like any “free” app does. Wordpress can throttle who can see you as well. Unless you’re on world or similar, it’s pretty open on Lemmy.

You can host your own WordPress. It’s open-source software.

And there’s hundreds of hosts who provide WordPress as a software so, while they upsell/can throttle, make money off you providing hosting services, not because you’re using WordPress.
