Why are we giving this person their stage again? How probable is it that the instance admins of the like 15 instances they have accounts on will all collectively ban him? It's just your average nazi spammer on the internet. You've read that "bio" this person has. Even if they get banned, they'll come back just on principle. Just block him like any sane person would do, leave him shadow banned like that with his nazi friends, and call it a day.

So, you mean using a proprietary vendor to operate something binds you to that vendor? Congratulations, you've just discovered vendor lock-in.
"Obfuscating the environment" is also an absolutely unhinged claim, what even is that supposed to mean?
And again, Automattic is NOT in the right. What Automattic did was break license terms, attempt to extort, steal code, and light their whole brand, company, ecosystem and community on fire. Matt spit in the faces of his open source community (and open source in general), and every single person dependent on WordPress losing their job because of the shift he's causing will be blood on his hands personally. Even if WP Engine was questionably morally or ethically, they did play by the laws and the license terms. Matt went on a mental breakdown and additionally to his unethical behavior broke several laws on that journey, which is exactly why he is losing the lawsuit. Matt and Automattic are NOT in the right.
To be fair, Matt is providing meltdowns regularly and totally free of charge. 😂
I'd laugh my ass off if WP Engine would lead a hard fork called WP Core. If any WP Engine folks read this, feel free to use the name, I won't sue, I promise.
That whole blog post is so full of salt, that it really hurts to read.
Still going on about the "imbalance of the contributions", well that's open source for you - you don't get to control who contributes how much, all you can do is ask nicely, and provide a good experience for contributors. Acting like a lunatic does not do that.
legal attacks started by WP Engine
Of course they did after the witch-hunt and the absolutely illegal, unethical and plain ridiculous behavior of Automattic. The counter they did, the whole ACF takeover and the slandering are a lawsuit handed on a plate.
The way "community" is quoted in that article for those who dared to disagree.
This legal action diverts significant time and energy that could otherwise be directed toward supporting WordPress’s growth and health.
Yeah, as a developer I also hate when lawsuits are stopping me from working. He had no problem letting go of nearly 10% of his staff with their "alignment offer" to get rid of people who again dared to disagree, but the legal action is diverting resources now.
But the whole "Focused on the Future" paragraph is going full mask off:
Before, they said that resources will be reallocated to "for-profit projects within Automattic", and
We will redirect our energy toward projects that can fortify WordPress for the long term
It's only a matter of time another hostile takeover will take place, and Matt will attempt to go full for-profit on WordPress itself.
We’re excited to return to active contributions to WordPress core, Gutenberg, Playground, Openverse, and WordPress.org when the legal attacks have stopped.
Full on extortion. Stop the lawsuit or we won't contribute.
Honestly, if I'd be dependent on WordPress for my work, I'd not sleep well and start going into something else right fucking now. How are people that stupid, childish and entitled getting into such positions.
Matt never ceases to amaze with his smoothbrain decisions.
The amount of effort this moron puts into his weird personal vendetta against WP engine, even after the court told him that he has nothing, which was actually his last chance to end this kinda gracefully, could've been used for so much better things.
And he's not only successfully kicking himself in the balls, he's willing to throw so many years of community and project time and effort under the bus for it.
Go on Matt, keep telling how much you're only doing this for WordPress.
And where did I say that no one should pay for youtube premium? Where did I say that everything should be 100% free?
If YouTube premium is worth it for you, go for it. In my opinion YouTube is getting worse by the day, and it's monopoly due to its reach and resources suppresses any competition, unfortunately. Even if YouTube Premium would cost 10 cents I won't pay it, because I simply think that YouTube has severely gone wrong. Vote with your wallet.
And before other connoisseurs of boot material chime in - I'm paying for Google one. I'm using drive and mail daily. I bought the new pixel, watch and buds day one, and all of those are amazing Google products I'm very happy to pay for, just as I do for Spotify, HP, Netflix, IntelliJ and any other product that brings me value.
Pay for what you want, and let me do the same.
YouTube is the biggest platform, and the one with the most resources. Whether it's the best one is on another page.
And again, keep bootlicking. Chrome fanboy, goated YouTube, and even MSP, talking about copium. Your poor fucking customers and people working under you.
Yes, the problem are definitely the few percent of people using ad blockers, but absolutely not the corpos spewing out a few cents while watching creators fight against each other and the algorithm ™️ from their second yacht they bought this week.
Keep bootlicking, fool.
No one tops ada in this regard. They alone are my reason for dodging all and any funny shark communities.
No, but the more people block them, the less up votes and visibility they will receive for their posts.
