   I'm surprised anyone still uses wordpress after this whole sh!tshow, but outside HN folks probably don't even know. Just reading about it about it puts me off from the product and company.

      If I had to stop using all the software whose politics I find problematic I would have to earn a living breaking rocks.

         Deciding to not use Wordpress isn’t that hard though

            I have an amateur website up and running where club members can book an accomodation.

            Most other software wants more than the $100 one time payment that some random WordPress plugin demanded (VikBooking.)

               ...and when your site is hacked, will it have been worth it?

               "Some random WordPress plugin" is usually the main entry point. The core has a bad track record, but plugins are worse by far.

                     So what if this person gets mugged? They've probably been mugged multiple times before already! Thus, any future mugging is also totally fine!
