Why doesn’t WP Engine just fork the project?
Is an account on Wordpress.org the only way for someone to use WP?

#42Why is everyone offended by every little thing now? The Internet can't take a joke anymore? Please...

#43Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bi…

Eh, foundation at least keeps business continuity and has the ability to cleanly address a minority of bad actors. Well run foundations (like Debian) can keep chugging along even with stakeholders who bitterly hate each other.
You're forgetting the WordPress Foundation exists, with two other co-founders, and allowed itself to get into this mess in the first place without any fight or publicity about Mullenweg's real control. Those two other founders are currently MIA.
I mean yeah there are failure modes, the WP foundation devolved into a BFDL when other foundation members ghosted and so stopped being a minority of bad actors. Thems the brakes with low participation.

404media.co is a shadowbanned domain on HN due to paywalls, meaning any new submission from the domain will automatically be killed. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=404media.co (w/ showdead on) Since this post doesn't have a paywall and it's good/newsworthy, I vouched for it.
Are you a HN admin/dev/mod now?
I suspect it’s more some threshold of vouching required, because I know for a fact some of the other dead submissions got vouched.
Still, this apparently completely undocumented standard behaviour seems a little bit troubling? It’s not like 404media is a spam content mill (and I doubt it is the ability to bypass the paywall - those methods don’t work on 404?)

#46> When I initially saw it I assumed my friend was trolling me but yeah it’s there and has a value attribute filled out, which leaves me suspicious that he’s gonna use it as a proxy for the previous field,” she told me.
Great time to be learning other CMSes. I tried Payload 3 this week. It was refreshingly easy to configure! Needs a little more polish (the textarea expansion logic seems broken in Safari) but I know a good team is behind it and they'll figure it out.

I prefer barbequeued pineapple on a pizza, with mint and salt.

No, anyone can technically vouch dead posts with 31 karma or higher. Vouching is the inverse of a flag. https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/m...
I think the question was due to the claim that the domain is shadowbanned, not the vouching.
