   Can't decide between #WordPress and Known. #IndieWeb #SelfHosting

     @kolev What's driving your choice? Other than the indieweb stuff? I use WordPress for my indieweb site, so would be happy to answer questions about that particular approach. Known also looks neat though and it has a bunch of the indieweb stuff out of the box.

     @acarson WordPress would be a good thing to learn, as it's used on a lot of sites.

     @kolev Yeah, but the way WordPress implements the indieweb building blocks is not like a typical WordPress installation. I use it because WordPress has been a huge part of my life for pretty much two decades, but the changes going on in WordPress pretty much mean that the way it does indieweb becomes less and less a part of its mainstream. So if this is for a personal project, use what would be the right tool for your particular use case and if necessary learn WordPress separately for work purposes.

     @kolev So in this case, Known is a CMS that is specifically built for indieweb purposes so it would probably be a much smoother setup.

     @acarson But with WordPress, you have Hebrew dates.

     @kolev Yes there is that. I have these on my site, working with the indieweb stuff, and for me at least that's definitely a plus. Oh man I can't type any more today I just spent a minute completely rewriting this because the spellcheck was so bad lol.
