September 30 is a pretty small window to migrate. Hopefully it's enough.
Alex3917•1h ago
At least with LLMs, we can just write a query to migrate the export to whatever target format we want. The main issue is just breaking 20 years worth of inbound links.
_verandaguy•49m ago
Was this somehow not doable without LLMs? It's trivial data massaging.
evanelias•1h ago
They stopped accepting new users ~5 years ago, so it's hardly a surprise... but I'm still bummed to see this.

Even so, 22 years is a good run!

jjice•1h ago
I initially thought that the 30ish day notice was too low, but that definitely softens it.
net01•1h ago
They should provide an option to move to https://ghost.org/
coolgoose•1h ago
Was this just not profitable? Or not vc extra growth profitable?
Alex3917•1h ago
I have no doubt that it wasn't vc profitable, but my assumption (without any inside info) is that the real issue is that they were using some hacked up version of Movable Type that they couldn't upgrade.

It's frustrating though because imho it's arguably still the best blog platform to this day.

chipotle_coyote•58m ago
Movable Type is, perhaps shockingly, still being actively developed; version 9 is coming out later this year. I’m not sure who the customer base is at this point—some years ago, they dropped the open source version and personal pricing and went to a very enterprise-ish $499/yr model—but I guess somebody is still giving them money.
throw0101a•48m ago
> very enterprise-ish $499/yr model

$500 ÷ 12 = 41.67 per month.

For a personal/fun publishing platform that might be a bit pricey, but that's less than what many people pay for their cell phone plan.

chipotle_coyote•19m ago
That’s fair; it just makes it pretty steep at the low end compared to many other hosted solutions like Ghost, WordPress, or Squarespace. It gives the strong impression that they’re not looking for new customers as much as trying to keep existing commercial ones on board for as long as possible.
evanelias•8m ago
My understanding is that Movable Type remained hugely popular in Japan, even as WordPress overtook it elsewhere.

Does anyone read blogs anymore? Social media seems to have completely replaced them.
asa400•1h ago
If all you measure is "what is mainstream culture doing" then yes, social media dominates. But there are tons and tons of topics that have active bloggers, tech among them, certainly. A lot of the blogs in my RSS feed get regular updates.
Swizec•1h ago
> Does anyone read blogs anymore?

Yes. We call them newsletters now. Podcasts, if they're audio. Many are both.

Apocryphon•1h ago
It's more like Medium, then Substack, have replaced the old Blogger-type services.
ireadmevs•1h ago
I do! And not only that, but I only read them through RSS.
bayindirh•52m ago
My blog’s stats show that there is a sizable readership.

Considering I also follow a few blogs, there are a silent crowd who reads blogs.

MarcelOlsz•52m ago
I would I just have no idea how to get everything I want to read in one place. Yeah sure RSS etc.
taude•52m ago
Yeup. I just went through my Feedly, currated my lists, and even started poking at some other RSS readers.

RSS is still alive, and if you're the type of person who doesn't just want the alg telling you what to look at next, then it's still valuable.

There's some many content creators right now, for example, who are specializing in sharing AI knowledge.

wrs•52m ago
Maybe someone can do a query of URLs posted to HN to see how many are blogs, but...it's a lot of them.
petercooper•44m ago
I’d make a guess almost 50% of front page posts on HN are to blog posts, so I imagine so.
FromTheArchives•38m ago
I still read a ton of blogs. Try this for size:

indigodaddy•12m ago
The fact that Simon Willison's blog isn't listed here instantly reduces this directory's credibility imo
bachmeier•30m ago
You read blogs and scroll through social media posts. One is not a substitute for the other. So yes, I and many others still read blogs.
indigodaddy•14m ago
So I've been recently just skimming through (next post -> next post etc) Kagi Smallweb and it's been a lot fun. Good way to discover new stuff easily. I actually wish they had more content though.
tiffanyh•1h ago
Sad news.

Typepad brings backs fond memories of early personal "weblog", Web 1.0/2.0 era, Six Apart & Movable Type.

adithyassekhar•48m ago
They're using the phrases "deactivated" and "not available to you" a number of times. No mentions of "delete" or "removed" on the page.
jyunderwood•30m ago
I was thinking the same thing. "Deactivated" is different from "deleted."

I’m not a customer, but in today’s world, I would actually prefer that when the service shuts down, all accounts and published data are destroyed. Just wiped completely. Otherwise, what are the odds that customer PII gets sold off and the service owner licenses the previously hosted posts and comments to an AI company?

jstummbillig•33m ago
Kind of interesting that, with such an entrenched service that seems highly automatable, this is preferable to just keeping it in maintenance mode.
qq66•24m ago
Lot of content here that will go down with the ship. Hope the Internet Archive will mirror it.
