Missouri voters elected Trump and Hawley
while making abortion legal, increasing the minimum wage, and voting down a raise for law enforcement. What a state

Verifying that we've viewed the Slack conversation that took place between @jason_coleman and @photomatt, and can confirm that Matt did threaten to take over Paid Memberships Pro. Story coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who has replied! I’m looking forward to learning about any and all efforts and how I might can help with organization. I, of course, have my own thoughts on the matter. I have a busy work week ahead. I’ll try to find time to share them.

Hello, dear #WordPress friends. So now that most of us are *finally* on the same page that project leadership needs reform, is anyone strategizing how folks can work together to bring change? Are there any efforts being made to organize the community? I’d love to hear from you.

the hostile takeover of ACF was clearly threatened and isn't a surprise, but I am shook right now how any trust I had in WordPress as a platform had just been wiped out.

Some of the most amazing people in the #WordPress community are leaving because they can no longer ethically/financially/emotionally support what our community has become.
Here is a heartbreaking goodbye letter from long-time contributor @megabyterose 💙

Introducing NotMattPress - Now with 8% less existential threat

"If I were ever not a good leader, the software could fork" - Matthew Mullenweg
Thanks @photomatt but we didn't need your permission or @Automattic's 💪
The NotMattPress repo auto-sync's with the WordPress repo daily at 4:20am
It automatically changes "WordPress" to "NotMattPress", "Matt Mullenweg" to "No Matt", etc.
So you can run your own version of WordPress without anyone knowing it's WordPress ... because it's Not(MattPress) 😂

Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf is very much integrated in our OSS ecosystem as evidenced by all of the tutorials on WordPress dot org and the 375 presentations on WordPress dot tv. Not to mention the 3,700 times it occurs as reference on WordPress dot com. @photomatt

no experience with Drupal's credit system, but their non-profit has 12 board members, runs a site, and organizes events. can we give them WordPress Foundation for an internship or something? dri.es/solving-the-maker-tak…

(q) When do you plan to add support in the admin UI for alternate source urls for plugins and themes [...] ?
(matt) Why would I build that? The built-in source works great, for tens of millions of servers.

not to mention project just stuck its head in the sand about rise of modern Composer dependency management, packaging, and infrastructure, leaving devs to figure it out for themselves
Pgogy WebStuff 🇺🇦 retweeted
given that (1) WP core is hardcoded to official repos, (2) WP org forbids alternate update sources, (3) WP core aggressively destroyed non-repo plugins for many years overwriting them on name conflicts... "why did no one roll their own infra, huh!?" is an... iffy accusation. 😒

yes, Automattic donated 0.02282% (two hundredth of a percent) of capital they raised to PHP Foundation. it's (honestly!) awfully nice of them that it's larger than zero, but a little short of percentages they hold others to.

Next time you wanna contribute for #WordPress, just remember that the dude who [thinks he] owns everything you’re volunteering for is “post-economic”. 🤮
