I always had automatic updates checked. And here I am.
I use the block editor on another blog. The problem here is, when I go to a past post to edit, the block “editor” has edited out all my media, large chunks of, or all of the text, and what remains is a mangled corpse of itself.
I remember when backwards compatibility and adherence to web standards was imperative when I went to school for web design years ago. Now nobody gives a shart about anything except who can race to the next 1,2, 3 point oh oh whatever.
I would rather spend time learning a new blogging platform than giving WordPress another opportunity to put me in this position again.
The final straw was the inability to delete this post. Power-trippy mod(s) drive away good clients [and the term “mods” is used very loosely since they’ve excused themselves from moderating by saying “every post stands, it will not be removed period.”] I’ve been here seven years, paid good money for seven years, and couldn’t be more disappointed with my experience.
