I run a WordPress agency and I'm absolutely horrified by all of this. It's not cutting through to our clients yet, but building on WordPress suddenly feels incredibly risky when one person can throw their toys out of the pram - the pineapple checkbox is just fucking ridiculous - and derail an entire ecosystem. I really wish there was some kind of mechanism to cut Matt entirely out of WordPress because he deserves to…

Stalking? WTF
I guess this isnt well known here but Matt (or his mods) kicked a trans woman off tumblr and then followed her across platforms to try and shut her up
Those usernames say it all really.
This is just a play to pretend that WordPress.org is run by volunteers when in truth it's entirely run by Automattic. If it was actually ran by volunteers, he couldn't make any of it stop... because people volunteer their time without being told what to do. I can't wait for him to lose millions of dollars for a hissy fit. It's going to be delicious.
> a play to pretend that WordPress.org is run by volunteers when in truth it's entirely run by Automattic It's run entirely by Mullenweg. The Board is clearly unable to have a big-boy conversation.
He wouldn't be able to do any of that with volunteers that aren't operating under his authority.

WordPress.org is way too big to be a one-man show. I am absolutely certain that Mullenweg has nothing to do with plugin or theme validation, account creation or even packaging new WordPress versions, but also certain that he can tell his employees what to do. Hell, all of that should be automated by now. He wouldn't be able to do any of that with volunteers that aren't operating under his authority.
Big productions still have a director. The point is Mullenweg--not Automattic--has control.

Also they were banned for wishing death on Matt, “a forever painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and hammers go flying everywhere.”
