Toot

Written by John O'Nolan on 2024-10-30 at 13:29

I've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks about how Ghost is going to avoid ending up in the same situation as WordPress.

A lot of trust in open source has been broken.

So, I spent some time writing up how we structure and think about business, governance, open source, community, and ecosystems more broadly.

I certainly don't think we've got it all figured out — but I think our model is especially relevant at this particular moment in time.

@johnonolan I think I remember Ghost being incorporated outside of the USA? Do you know if there’s a way to set up a similar structure in the US?

(Context: working on my own blogging/publishing system and also want to make sure I don’t become a BDFL.)

@johnonolan It has almost nothing to do with the model and almost everything to do with the distribution of money in society.

The news suits the interests of whoever is paying for the work of providing it. (Which is why the fashion press and the business press are distinct, etc.)

Suppressed wages produce a general population who don't have the money to pay people to provide them with news. If they get news, they get the news someone with lots of money and lots of objectives wants to provide.

@johnonolan

Any chance Ghost will be as easy to self host and manage as Wordpress without requiring a VPS acct and knowledge of command lines?
