     @icedquinn To paraphrase someone on social this morning, Mullenweg's behavior is actually so unhinged that's making a whole community of anti-establishment nerds side with Private Equity.

     @icedquinn Nothing to do with wokery, a different flavor of noise altogether. Mullenweg is having a public meltdown and making up laws to extort money from a competitor and defaming them. Then he blocked all their customers (1 million+ sites) from connecting to WP API/repositories without any warning. He said "sue me" so they did.
     
     The ridiclous part I think a lot of people in the WordPress ecosystem didn't notice until now is that this whole time 1 individual has had absolutely unlimited control of plugin, theme, and core management, of all WordPress installs, worldwide, regardless of where they are hosted, the power to unplug 43% of the web on whim, and now that's he's weaponized that he isn't trusted anymore, so FOSS foundations and/or web hosts will just have to build their own repositories which is how it should be anyway.
