Automattic are the people behind wordpress.com, JetPack and WooCommerce. The amount of people who use their software is staggering. I’ve set up a fair deal of WordPress instances myself.
WordPress also recently became ActivityPub compatible, in a single-user mode - I think. This actually makes me consider it for my own blog, but I ick at PHP - probably undeservedly, as modern optimizations make it lightweight and quick (cache all the things).
What I’m saying is that they might make having on-site chat and self-hosting a possibility. If they provided a sort of freemium WooCommerce thing, where some add-ons important to certain operations cost money, but that the chat integration is a compliment to Gutenberg and the theming system? Bruh. I’m there.
That being said, freemium sucks, but it’s better than not being able to self-host, as bills have to be paid - for both Automattic, other companies and freelance developers ^^;
