#mattbullenweg — Public Fediverse posts

This is plain weird behavior from Matt Mullenweg. He apparently tries to pay someone to make a dis-track against WP Engine… and the person refused, according to Kellie Peterson, a former Automattic employee who is outspoken against Matt’s behavior when he started the drama against WP Engine

You cannot make this shit up. Matt Mullenweg tried to spend $500k+ to get kendricklamar to record a WP Engine dis track. Excellent use of investor money right there folks.

It really shows how much a bully Matt is, and of course I bet the person doesn’t want to get into legal troubles with WP Engine.

From the court ruling:

The Court, having considered WPEngine, Inc.’s (“WPE”) Administrative Motion for an Order to Shorten Time (“Motion”) as to a hearing on WPE’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (the “PI Motion”), Dkt. 17, and good cause appearing therefore, hereby GRANTS the Motion and ORDERS as follows:

1. Defendants’ Opposition to the PI Motion shall be filed on or before October 30, 2024;
2. Plaintiff’s Reply shall be filed on or before November 4, 2024;
3. The PI Motion is hereby set for hearing on November in Courtroom 3, 3rd Floor of the Oakland courthouse. 26 , 2024, at 10:30 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I guess Matt is probably going to post another rant on WordPress.org saying how this is unfair and stuff, but it’s a good day for the WordPress community that Matt is trying to destroy with his pointless crusade on WP Engine.

So, Matt Mullenweg finally filed a response to the prelimary injunction sent on Friday. I find this pretty halarious.

Rather than being about access to WordPress software, this case instead is about WordPress.org – a website owned and run by Defendant Matt Mullenweg individually, for the benefit of the community he loves.

In doing so, WP Engine gambled for the sake of profit that Mr. Mullenweg would continue to maintain open access to his website for free.

So, it’s a mistake for other people who sell plugins or themes for WordPress, a mistake to build websites on WordPress as a business or even use it? After all, if you get Matt angry, he will try to ruin your livelihood.

The fact that the API calls are hard coded to wordpress.org for core/theme/plugin updates and the news widget, that spread propaganda from Matt Mullenweg against WP Engine shows that there is a promise for free access to WordPress.org, or otherwise the software doesn’t function properly.

I doubt Matt will get his way to try to block the injunction, WP Engine will probably get it granted, and Matt’s words, especially that “free speech” remark will bite him later on.

Too long, didn’t reed: Matt doesn’t care about the WordPress community and WordPress.org is his thing to play around with.

Seems fishy, it seems as if Matt Mullenweg is not telling the truth that WordPress.org is a non profit?

Matt is at it again, claiming that WP Engine is attacking his “free speech” in a recent blog post on his personal blog.

WP Engine has filed hundreds pages of legal documents seeking an injunction against me and Automattic. They say this about community or some nonsense, but if you look at the core, what they’re trying to do is ask a judge to curtail my First Amendment rights.

Sure, Matt can say that WP Engine is Cancer and other false claims, but defamation (Libel and Slander) against an individual or a company is not free speech. Not to mention, he changed the code of conduct in an attempt to silence Matt Mullenweg’s terrible behavior.

Pro tip: Stop digging even deeper, also resign too.

WP Engine has filed a motion to accelerate preliminary injunction litigation. They want all briefings submitted by October 30th and a hearing on November 4th.

Yep, Matt is getting afraid of the leaks that he only allow himself to share the DMs, and not other people. It’s obvious he wants to punish a leakers and crush dissent, which is what dictators do.

I mean, if Matt is continue to act horribly, what are you going to expect? This stuff is going to happen.

Matt is trying to poach workers from WP Engine as the toll of workers leaving Automattic because they had enough with the toxic work enviroment.

Now, Matt is finding out that he is now short staffed, and now trying to poach WP Engine's workers.

I don't see how this improves his chances of winning his cases against him, now that a preliminary injunction is filed.

I’ll work on an official statement

Probably after we do the hiring offer for WE employees. We’re really short staffed at the moment!

That may be awkward for someone who DM’d and will have a later last day (could be next year, even), but my priority is people staying, not people leaving. I’m hearing from people staying that they’re stretched thin right now, so we need to hire and ease that overload. It’s not a time for a bunch of people to leave at once.

That said, stop using Automattic's products, move away from WordPress.com to your own self-hosted WordPress and hit Matt Mullenweg where it hurts, the pocketbooks.

The question is, when will WordPress finally hard fork. Now might be the time as he is unwilling to give up.

Matt cries poor in the WordPress slack when he says his WordPress Foundation saying he doesn't have enough for legal fees for WP Foundation when the WP Foundation donates 100k to the Internet Archive.

Where is he getting this money from? Seems fishy given that he was crying poor on how WordPress Foundation only brings in 30k for the whole year.

It's not that it's a bad thing that the Internet Archive is getting money, but it makes this donation disingenuous given Matt's toxic behavior.

WordPress Drama in a Nutshell.

(Someone actually posted a similar meme on the WordPress slack under ranting and Matt banned the guy...)

#WordPress #SaveWordPress #MattMullenwegResignNow #MattBullenweg

Apparently, the pereson who is behind the Pods plugin got banned from WordPress Org for no reason.

Matt Bullenweg is really trying to burn down the WordPress community. WordPress really needs to hard fork, now.

Also, his Mastodon Thread:
