"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 โpost-economicโ wanna-be philosopher king is throwing a fit because he canโt get MORE money โfor the communityโ that the community never sees. Iโm 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 Engineโs meritless lawsuit against Automattic, Matt Mullenweg, and WordPress.org. automattic.com/2024/10/03/merโฆ
- So Iโve been wondering: Does forcing software onto peopleโs 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 โyou guys are really dumbโ. The internet doesnโt forget though. #WordPress
- The #WordPress Plugin Developer FAQ has a new section โWhat happens to a plugin if the plugin owner gets blocked?โ It was updated directly on the page & NOT documented via the standard GitHub process. The last PR there was Sept 27. github.com/WordPress/deveโฆ
- so anyway, the answer to โis a giant open source project used by 43% of the web too much to be one personโs responsibility?โ is YES.
- In a legal court document from Automattic and Mattโs lawyers. โWordPress.org is not #WordPress.โ Just in case anyone was still confused, yes that means we should not be calling the open-source project โdot-orgโ. Cuz โฆ that is just Mattโs website.
- Mattโs website. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Also, again WPE is not the entity threatening the community. #WPLies #WordPress
- What does it mean to be โaffiliatedโ with a company โin any way, financially or otherwiseโ? 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 โฆ he did.) wordpress.org/news/2024/10/sโฆSo, what happens when Matt canonicalizes @wp_acf? What do we do? Cuz Iโm 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.
