Wanting to restart my Webcomic. Any alternative to Wordpress that I could use on my website?

Is there not federated WordPress?

Edit: Okay its done, not pretty but I like it and it will do for now. I mostly want it as a guide to send people to my different social media sites and my Payreon where I have decided to post the webcomic.

But if you want to check it out its www.fredselfish.com

And added bonus here a story I have written today that I wanted to share.

Wordpress as a framework is kinda federated, you can host your own server if you want to.
You can look into wysiwyg website editors, self hosting a website with aws and s3 is wicked cheap, and other providers like netlify are also inexpensive to a lesser degree.
- I will look into that. Thanks. And WordPress doesn't let you tinker with the base code like they used to.
  
  They do if you host it yourself. I've done a fair bit of WordPress development. You can add your own plugins that override base functionality, and if that isn't enough you can just modify the base code directly (but you'll have to reconcile it with updates if you want to update).
  
  If you want to make changes without dealing with update hassles:
  Make a child theme to your current theme which inherits from it.
  Add a functions.php to your child theme, which only includes specific overrides for functionality you want to override.
  Presto change-o you are immune to stuff getting ruined with updates. (Aside from API changes and things but those are relatively rare in my experience, for the most part it all just works.)
