    Let me say this: now that Matt Mullenweg has explicitly declared he doesn't really care about WordPress accessibility, I'm exploring alternatives. I have PureBlog and Eleventy currently in hand; Ghost is potent but its accessibility is very, very poor. My strong fear on switching to another platform, however, is one: there are less and less skilled people on CSS code. Most are used to point-and-click palettes, and I could code but due to my blindness I have no feedbacks on how my pages appear so I have a need for sighted assistance to customize CSS.
    What the hell should I do?

    @unchartedworlds No! Not interested in that stuff! Block editor (and overall full site editing) have been the key for me to design my site's interface on my own, with just little sighted help for colors, typography and fonts/styles. The structure is my own, it's like working with Lego.
    ClassicPress would make me turn back of at least 20 years. If I ever have to turn back, I'd do it via Eleventy or any other static CMS where I even could ask a LLM to create visuals, giving it the documents. If I'm reduced to ask for charity to any sighted, well, I feel a whore. Sorry for rudeness.

    @elettrona

    Aha okay! Interesting to know how useful the block editor has been to you.

    (I didn't take to it at all, so I switched back to classic editor as soon as I knew I could.)

    @unchartedworlds damn, you can do everything via keyboard. Including move blocks up and down -until this asshole dismantles everything. But I'm stubborn and will continue to pressure him. I did not leave anything behind while replying on his comments.
