Explaining to my wife how there's this one guy. And he alone is responsible for most of the world's distribution of PHP. And if anything happens to this guy, that's just it. Everyone is screwed.

Ouch. Considering the amount of volunteer work put into @WCEurope - and any other WordPress event across the world - this reply feels unfair towards current organisers and could potentially discourage future ones. I hope you'll reconsider comparing the flagship events 🙏

It’s way, way better at WCUS, and best at WCAsia.

I received the template reinstatement letter from WordPress.org. It takes no accountability for the damage inflicted to my reputation & community (or mental health), nor addresses my 2nd CoC complaint. Dismissing harm compounds the harm. This is not ok.

“are no longer here” and “were forced out” are super different things.
Replying to @TacoVerdo
If you look at WordPress’ history, many folks even with thousands of commits or who had prominent leadership positions are no longer here, and it’s been okay. There’s been a few key folks driving it both publicly and behind the scenes through decades of change.

There's a big difference in "don't like you" or "don't like your actions". Quite a lot of critism/feedback on your actions is also because they like you, they care about you and WordPress. I'm not taking about the trollers here, don't put them on the same pile.

I can't reply to this because I'm not a post-economic sycophant, but please @photomatt, get some help. You're delusional and your behaviour is harming yourself and others.

He's trying to claim he didn't want to fork or stage a coup, but wrote: “I think it’s time to let go of the cult and change project leadership.” “But it’s clear now, that we can no longer have him be our sole leader” “I’m already talking to several hosts about this, and would welcome anyone who wants to join these conversations, so we’re not duplicating work.” “I’m here, and willing to lead through this transition. I do have the time, the energy and the money needed to fund myself doing it.”

Folks still don't seem to understand that there'll soon be an infinite (and growing) amount of "content" targeting any keyword that any SEO tool reports as having search volume. The days of writing articles to try to "fill gaps" and to leapfrog competitors are, thankfully, dead.
