just saw this on Twitter yesterday

Matt is in over his head, what in the world…..

Gutenberg was the beginning of the end, I swear. It’s all his private investors trying to compete with Wix and SquareSpace, open source community be damned

[Janet]

Why has @wordpressdotcom replicated the entire https://t.co/oTA9NDVkFk plugin directory on its .com domain name? Searching for some plugin names now results in the .com page ranking higher than .org. F**k the long term health of the FOSS project, let's make some money, right? pic.twitter.com/UD40BN3Z6g

Here comes the calls to boycott WordPress.org from plugin devs lol

[Sandra]

Matt’s shameless cognitive dissonance trying to defend Automattic’s decisions over the years just keeps getting more hilarious

He’s now angrily insulting everyone on Twitter who questions this move

went from “the open web!” guy on Reddit to a pig without any morals in less than a decade really sad to see

[Billy]

just another in a long list of insanity, like allowing users to sexually harass and trash talk developers but censoring them if they decide to respond publicly

FOR FREE SOFTWARE CONTRIBUTIONS

🧵We’ve decided to stop supporting our plugins on the https://t.co/XotNQ25A47 free forums. Up until today, we’d treat every user or customer equally.

In 7 years of supporting FREE users, we’ve been called names, accused of “stealing,” threatened, and, least but not last…

allowing users to sexually harass and trash talk developers

I mean, Matt did hire Joost, and that was after he was exposed for being a serial sexual harasser on social media. Seems like part of the brand?

[Roger]

Sarah is definitely getting fired for this post

Developers Raise Concerns About WordPress.com Plugin Listings Outranking WordPress.org on Google Search

[Diane]

so what does this mean? WordPress.com is trying to outrank WordPress.org on Google search results or more sinister than that

[Maria]

Sarah is way too based to work for Automattic.

Matt just blocked Se on Twitter… dude can’t handle any criticism, esp. accurate criticism that’s written extremely politely

I was explaining to my friend—who uses #WordPress for her book and writing websites, but is not at all in the WP community—the issue of https://t.co/r7hmiawNpW cloning the https://t.co/VKlJfw6XxS plugin directory.

Her reply perfectly illustrates the problem: pic.twitter.com/tBROEN6X4J

Matt Mullenweg trash talking FOSS contributors on Twitter

[Noah]

It’s called GitHub kids. Stop contributing to WordPress.org.

Rank Math licking their lips…..
