I want to start writing articles about political issues in my country. I would prefer not getting fired from my day job or going to prison because of it, so I will be writing under a pseudonym.

Are there any alternatives to WordPress that play nice with TOR/TAILS? WordPress is difficult to use with its complicated block editor.

I need something that is easy for a non-technical person like me. And also free, since any payment can be tied back to my identity.

Are you planning on self-hosting? Because then you can just use a static site generator like jekyll or Hugo. Wikipedia mentions astro and eleventy. That is if all you want is a simple website.

From what I understand Buttondown is built for selfhosting and Ghost is similar. I don't think any publishing platform is designed specifically for use as an onion site but I may probably be wrong. Onions, apples, oranges maybe.

Unless you have free anon web hosting I have bad news for you

The website itself does not have to be an onion site. I am just using TOR to protect my identity, and many platforms I tried blocked me from accessing their websites.

Thank you, I will check them out.

Rather than maintaining a website you might just want to communicate with readers by means of private and secure chat like a Matrix Space.

I was unfamiliar, Astro looks robust. https://docs.astro.build/en/tutorial/0-introduction/

Yes and easy to install
