Blog Question Challenge
Es gibt wieder eine Blogparade! Wisst ihr noch – diese Aktionen, in denen alle in ihrem Blog eine Liste von Fragen beantwortet haben. Gab es lange nicht mehr, weil alle meinte, Twitter und Facebook seien besser als ein eigenes Blog.
Oh hey it’s Mattt, and he’s uh…VC-backing an app that views and cross-posts between various decentralized networks including ActivityPub and ATProto, along with Czech Founders VC.
#activityPub #ATProto #mattMullenweg #automattic
“Automattic and others back Openvibe, an app that’s unifying the open social web”
F**king Up WordPress!
Forking might let people follow their vision, but at what cost?
Mullenweg "pauses" WordPress Services for "holiday break." Takes jabs at #wpengine
Cryptic post by Matt Mullenweg announces a pause in WordPress services, expressing hope to reopen "sometime in the new year" saying that it hinged on his being able to find the “time, energy, and money." #WordPress
Paused:
New account registrations on WordPress.org
New plugin directory submissions
New plugin reviews
New theme directory submissions
New photo directory submissions
He writes the pause doesn’t affect the ability to install new instances of WordPress sites.

Matt Mullenweg Doesn’t Like Being Called Out On His Behavior
Inc.com posted an article that their reporter did with Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of WordPress.
In the article the reporter, David H. Freedman, doesn’t paint a sunshine and rainbows picture of the whole fiasco between Matt (et. al) and WP Engine.
Matt, in his right, responded calling the piece a “Hit Piece.”

I don’t blame Matt for not liking being called out on his actions, but what does he honestly expect? Honestly, he put a, formerly mandatory, checkbox that made people swear allegiance to pineapple on pizza to log in to WordPress.com. It’s now optional.
I’d love to hear all of your thoughts.
Wait, so this is in Matt's hometown newspaper?

This is ridiculous, unprofessional and childish 
"To Log Into WordPress, You Now Have To Agree Pineapple on Pizza Is Good"
#WordPress parent company must stop blocking #WPEngine, judge rules
#Automattic and its CEO #MattMullenweg also have to quit interfering with WP Engine’s ACF plugin.
WP Engine just won a preliminary injunction against WordPress parent company Automattic. On Tuesday, a California District Court judge ordered Automattic to stop blocking WP Engine's access to WordPress resources and interfering with its plugins.

Part

Well, Matthew, when you fork a GPL project, you can’t be upset that someone else is using said GPL project to invade your turf. Maybe next time you’ll write your own blog-turned-CMS system from scratch and stick it under a BSD license. Or just make it proprietary since you seem to care THAT much. https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/11/wp_engine_wins_injunction_against/

For those who are interested in the legal stuff, #WPEngine likely to succeed on claim for intentional interference with contract. Irreparable harm, balance of hardships and public interest also all in favor of WPEngine. "Here, the public consequences of withholding injunctive relief are significant." #MattMullenweg #Automattic #Wordpress @LWN
And the court agreed with WPEngine that within 72 hours Automattic must restore WPEngine's access, remove the checkbox and remove the list of WPEngine customers https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.437474/gov.uscourts.cand.437474.64.0.pdf #MattMullenweg #WPEngine #WordPress #Automattic @LWN
I'm actually surprised that Matt has yet to change the Gravatars of WP Engine employees to dick pics.
Employees Describe Environment of Paranoia and Fear Inside #Automattic Over #WordPress Chaos
Automattic CEO #MattMullenweg made another buyout offer, and threatened employees who speak to press with termination. Amid ongoing dispute between himself and website hosting platform #WPEngine, which #Mullenweg called a “cancer to WordPress” and accuses WP Engine of “strip-mining the WordPress ecosystem."

Does not sound like a happy place! Good luck to my friends supporting WP!
The #WPDrama deepens as WP Fusion sends a cease and desist letter to Automattic and WordPress.com regarding the unauthorized use of the WP Fusion trademark on .com's private mirror of the WordPress plugin repository. They accuse Automattic of Trademark infringement. #WPDrama #WPEngine #mattmullenweg

I feel that #MattMullenweg is a whiny little piss baby who should resign and elope to Moscow with #ElonMusk as his 3rd wife.
“exit gracefully, or be fired tomorrow with no severance and probably a big legal case for violating confidentiality agreement”
#MattMullenweg sounds just like Trump, full of hot air and bullshit. If he knew who was speaking to the press he’d have fired them already instead of making stupid threats. And filed a Thermonuclear Bigly Lawsuit against them or whatever, while people cried and called him “sir.”
Fucking narcissists, man.
So the head of the Wordpress Foundation and CEO of Automattic, who cofounded Wordpress, Matt Mullenweg apparently deleted his blog post responding to DHH, however I kind of made my video before he deleted it and discussed his post.it did not make Matt look good
That post will be up tonight around 4:00 PM EST.
The popular ACF plugin listing has been taken over by WordPress amid a legal dispute with WP Engine. WordPress replaced it with a “forked” version, named Secure Custom Fields, citing safety guidelines, and sparking controversy among the WordPress community.
