reminds me of the fact that his twitter banner is a shitty AI gen superposition of a WordPress logo. very professional CEO look there
IMO, the fact that heās still on Twitter at all is not a good look. The place has been a Nazi bar since 2016.
Some people are incapable of leaving that place apparently. I donāt know why.
ānetwork effectsā, supposedly. Sounds like a cop-out, to me. Maybe itās just that neurotypical people are scared shitless of being the first in their group to leave a toxic space because nobody might follow.
oh, believe me, the neurodivergents are still there, and the leftists are very much still there too, esp as algo is still capable of accommodating them and giving them what they want.
seasoned twitter users donāt have that much incentive to leave because twitter has been a toxic hellpit for a long time, and the toxic aspect hasnāt changed that much with muskās acquisition. if youāre still capable of getting publicly mad online and blowing your mental on meaningless crap, twitter is still the place for you.

Hell, I can do that on my own website, and thus not help make Elon Musk richer.
Sorry to circle back here, but MW doesnāt seem to have linked to whomever DHH is, and I have no idea who that is. Does anyone have a link to the post Mattās responding to?
Iām currently using Wordpress to run my Virtual Pets site, so Iāve been more than a little nervous through this whole fiasco. That said, my personal blog uses Classicpress, and Iāve been much happier with that, so Iāve been considering switching for a while. Itāll just be some work to get the layout up and working, so Iāve been putting it off.
That said, Iāve been following the situation via this blog post here, and Iām not surprised by this behavior in the least. MWās commandeering of the Advanced Custom Fields plugin is probably the most egregious thing Iāve ever seen happen in an open source community.
DHH is this guy. I think the post matt was originally answering was this one: Automattic is doing open source dirty
But Matt has since deleted his original post. I do have a few screens though if you need.
Ok, thank you! I was mostly interested in seeing what he was referring to.
Which post has Matt deleted? Iāve been (sadly) following this pretty closely and, to me at least, it looks like all of his posts are still up.
The one linked at the top of this thread. The current post is not the original one. He took down the original and then reposted something new. The one live now in fact starts with āIāve taken this post down.ā

Ahhh, that makes sense. I hadnāt bothered to re-read it to notice it was a new version. Thank you for the explanation!
Oh and for anyone who wants more detail on whatās been happening, this is a nifty resource: https://bullenweg.com/
The more I read about this story the more Iām confused about whatās Mattās end goal with this move. Like I canāt accept this is just a way to get some money from WPE, there has to be something else going on. Either that or heās just having a very public breakdown. Anyway, itās gonna be interested to see how it end.
the difference is that ragebait gets delivered to you via firehose so you always have an overabundance of stuff to be mad about. revolutionary!
I suspect youāre being sarcastic, but Matt Drudge was doing a better job of serving up ragebait for idealists like me back in 1995. Presented for your inspection: the Drudge Report.
