This is exactly why I prefer a hosted solution.

I have something to say, I just go to https://www.dreamwidth.org/entry/new and write, hit "Post" and I'm done. No need to worry about whether the software is up to date, deal with security issues, etc. That's all someone else's problem.

All fun and games until they decide that they want to charge you a million bucks a month to pay for the uncontestable added value their AI features (that you don't use and never will use) provide. Or they get bought by private equity or some other faceless entity and basically leave it out to rot, security vulnerabilities and all. Or they take any of the millions of paths to guaranteed enshittification while keeping your blog hostage (until you can spare the eight hours it will take to move your content to something like Hugo!)

This was the reason why I invested in my hacky blog build and deployment script instead of moving my stuff over to Medium or Netlify when that was popular. You gotta look out for yourself.

Eg, decap cms?

That looks, to me, like a host which requires you to run your own static site generator. If so, then no, I don't want to have to keep that up to date.

If it can provide the whole stack itself, so that I don't have to know anything at all about the underlying technology, then sure!
