Here's a great quick look over this whole WordPress mess if you're trying to get caught up!

Seems like an appropriate time to share my favorite quote: “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.” —Walt Disney

Great Automattic vs WP Engine summary from Theo - t3.gg "If open source worked like Matt is asking it would ruin open source. I'd rather him just change the license" youtu.be/XoTToRfM3iA?si…

There are no two ways about it anymore. Matt has to go or else people in this community — and amazing people at that — are going to get hurt by his actions.

Things Post-Economic White Dudes can do instead of ruin Normal People’s lives: - start a jazz label - pay another Rich Dude to go to space - hang out on a yacht in the Med - explain #WordPress to their moms - become an ambassador - go spelunking - actually read philosophy

:::: Hypocrisy Intensifies ::::

Automattic Your CEO literally tried to extort a company before he took stage and drug that same company through the mud. How can any company or agency Built around WordPress? Feel safe that they won’t potentially be Matt’s next target. He needs to go.

I think the worst part of all of this is seeing the community that WE ALL KNOW is the true value of #WordPress be simultaneously commodified and disregarded by the person who told us he believed in it the most. That’s the real tragedy of the commons here. 💔

Since this is in a channel no one can reply to **and you continue to ignore WP Engine’s C&D**, I’m directly addressing you here Matt Mullenweg: It’s YOU who doesn’t grok how serious your attack was/is — .org is ONLY named because you use 3 biz entities as extensions of yourself🤡

If you were 1) mentally/emotionally well/stable and 2) had any kind of family or job history that enabled you to understand accountability to anyone else, this wouldn’t be happening. Whatever enablers advising you this course of action is reasonable or necessary are nuts too.

Stop. Just stop touching it — like I told you when you went after Sé. Take your lumps like an adult and then apologize to the community. You are fucking up YOUR businesses as well as ours. Get right, man or else you’re going to end up in jail when the US government gets involved

Put Josepha in charge, give every single device to her, check yourself into an in-patient clinic and stay there for at least a couple a months. This is not a functionally healthy existence for you OR us.

This. All of this. And Tom puts it in much better language than I can right now (the weekend can't get here quick enough).

IS IT THO
