"if we cannot organize beyond the bounds of our comfort zones, we will never build movements large enough to combat the forces that would destroy us."
- #WordPress people are over here worried about their livelihoods while this “post-economic” wanna-be philosopher king is throwing a fit because he can’t get MORE money “for the community” that the community never sees. I’m so disgusted by all of this.
- Using the official #WordPress account to post Automattic and Matt business is part of the problem, folks.Automattic has posted a response to WP Engine’s meritless lawsuit against Automattic, Matt Mullenweg, and WordPress.org. automattic.com/2024/10/03/mer…
- So I’ve been wondering: Does forcing software onto people’s websites without their knowledge or consent sound like the definition of hacking to anyone else? Asking for an ecosystem. #WordPress
- Oh look. They deleted it. Maybe their very rich, very evil, and also very smart lawyer called and said “you guys are really dumb”. The internet doesn’t forget though. #WordPress
- The #WordPress Plugin Developer FAQ has a new section “What happens to a plugin if the plugin owner gets blocked?” It was updated directly on the page & NOT documented via the standard GitHub process. The last PR there was Sept 27. github.com/WordPress/deve…
- so anyway, the answer to “is a giant open source project used by 43% of the web too much to be one person’s responsibility?” is YES.
- In a legal court document from Automattic and Matt’s lawyers. “WordPress.org is not #WordPress.” Just in case anyone was still confused, yes that means we should not be calling the open-source project “dot-org”. Cuz … that is just Matt’s website.
- Matt’s website. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Also, again WPE is not the entity threatening the community. #WPLies #WordPress
- What does it mean to be “affiliated” with a company “in any way, financially or otherwise”? Asking for a LOT of friends. #WordPress
- Aaaaaaand Matt forked @wp_acf into a canonical plugin. Wait, is it forking if he just steals the plugin completely, slug and all? (Cuz … he did.) wordpress.org/news/2024/10/s…So, what happens when Matt canonicalizes @wp_acf? What do we do? Cuz I’m hearing rumors that that is our next surprise. Not much of a surprise at this point, but the impact will be tangible. I use ACF on almost every single #WordPress site I make. I feel sick.
