Automattic is scaling back its contributions to the WordPress open-source project to “match” the amount of time companies like WP Engine spend on the ecosystem.

ENGLISH: 3 in the morning and I've just disconnected all 3rd-party apps from Meta. Soon enough I'll delete my profile too; then I've just been experimenting with @buttondown newsletter and playing with code: if, ElIf, and, or, Endif, for... I'll also organize my news feed with RSS. And if WordPress is no longer sustainable for any reason I might consider changing my contents' models and switch to ButtonDown only. #WordPress #newsletter #rss #alternatives

@techcrunch buries the lede on their article about @wordpress
I read half the article before I learned why #WordPress CEO had deplatformed employees
Amitheidiot bc I didn't know what a forking allegation is?
"WordPress fork — a term that describes when someone takes the code from an open source project and creates a copy, which can take on a life of its own with a separate community of contributors."
I wanted to help someone make a website with WordPress, because that person should be able to design and fill the website by themselves.
Now, with all the shit that is happening there... Is it still a good idea to use WordPress? If not, what would you guys recommend?
Needs to be PHP and selfhostable. (We have a Webserver already!) Also, it needs to be used by someone who isn't that tech savvy. (So no "just code it yourself.")
@noellemitchell
Closing accounts - it doesn't sound like cooperation and a good future for #wordpress the way #Mullenberg is reacting - more like offended baby-sitting!
Matt Mullenweg has deactivated the accounts of several WordPress.org members, including key figures behind a push to create a new fork of the open-source project. A pivotal moment for WordPress' future. #WordPress #OpenSource #MattMullenweg #TechNews #CMS #Fork #WebDev #WordPressCommunity #OSS
@noellemitchell May the new #WordPress fork be better governed, live long and prosper.
Matt Mullenweg deactivates WordPress contributor accounts over alleged fork plans
"At the same time, Mullenweg revealed he was also deactivating the accounts of three other people, with little explanation given: Sé Reed, Heather Burns, and Morten Rand-Hendriksen."

Remarkable sentence buries in Automattic‘s remarkable statement.
»While our sponsored contributions are reduced, Automattic remains deeply invested in the WordPress platform … Part of this will be making WordPress.com much closer to a core WordPress experience, instead of having a different interface.«

Hmm...I am still running the 2010 Weaver Theme on my Wordpress Website, lol! Any suggestions for something more modern, free, for a simple 3-paged blog-like site?
#WordPress plus #ActivityPub = #Facebook Page on steroids.
Thoughts about alternatives don’t need to end on one platform or instance only.
For #tangoverse we could end up with multiple conceits all linked via ActivityPub.
Looks like WordPress hit a fork in the road... or did it?
