  First: I hate ‘blocks’. I loved WordPress before blocks, now it’s a nightmare. Besides making it generally more difficult to use, all of a sudden I can’t post because ‘I’m not allowed to edit this post’. What’s happening, can’t I just have my old ‘Classic’?

  Hi @jimculleny
  There are tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQ‘s: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions
  If you really want to use something like the classic editor, the best would be sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/
  For more details, you can see https://wordpress.com/blog/2020/08/13/the-classic-editing-experience-is-moving-not-leaving/

  Kind regards

  You can still switch to the classic editor when writing/editing posts/pages in your site’s Dashboard: https://wordpress.com/support/dashboard/

  With that said, we do recommend the new editor though, and we have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/
