    it’s been a long time coming…..

    LittleBizzy has been demanding Matt’s response on this for several years, and took advantage of this week’s drama on Twitter to call him out again. Matt finally admitted publicly that the WordPress Foundation has no employees whatsoever, incredible

    Of course this was after Matt said it was SLANDER to post this about WordPress Foundation, a few hours later he confirms its 100% true.

    Also note that WordPress.org quietly added this fact to a page a few months ago, buried deep within their documentation:

    WordPress project basics

    Of course, this still makes no sense, since Mullenweg is trying to claim the Foundation has no relation to WordPress.org and is simply in charge of WordCamps.

    Confused yet? Yeah, seems to be the entire point!

    Remember this podcast when WP Tavern started deleting half the comments because it definitely did not go the way that Matt expected lmao

    pretty much all of Automattic’s employees are expected to run disinformation gigs on the side as part of their employment.

    it’s the open secret of working for Mullenweg

    Because the Foundation itself is a gaslighting op. People think WordPress.org is a non-profit charity and it’s not. It’s run by Automattic employees, or via Matt’s other brand Audrey Capital. WordPress.org asks for donations for the Foundation trying to gaslight people into thinking its ran by the Foundation, but its 100% not.

    It seems like any time you see the word “Foundation” you should be deeply suspicious of what’s going on (especially if you are actually considering donating money).

    For example, the Mozilla Foundation:

    I notice that on the home page of the WordPress Foundation they say they are “inspired by” the Mozilla Foundation.

    never knew that about the Mozilla Foundation.

    but def. a lot of rich guys in the USA especially who setup Foundations just to give fake “donations” for tax deductions, because it goes back in their pocket.

    Trump was doing the same thing. its the American rich guy scam along with s**t like buying s****y art pieces and getting them appraised for 100x more than whatever you paid for it and then donating it to Red Cross and s**t
