  • The open-source software from WordPress.org is great for blogs. It becomes the worst when you try it make it do more than that. Even worse is WordPress.com which is very different and uses a very locked-down and restricted proprietary version of the WordPress software. They charge $25/mo for the tier that lets you add custom CSS.

    Additionally, Automattic gets a free pass of violating the WordPress terms of use for the WordPress name and logo to intentionally trick people into thinking the paid platform at WordPress.com is the same as the free and open-source software from WordPress.org. They get to leverage the non-profit’s name and likeness and gets preferential treatment to funnel business to their for-profit company.


  • It has nothing to do with “being hurt”. They showed the kind of scummy person they are.

    They showed that if they were willing to go this far to try to hide this, then that shows how low the bar is for them to try to manipulate things to their favor and liking with the trust that was given them as a moderator.

    I don’t like the idea of that kind of person reaping the benefits of their site being linked to on the platform they tried to manipulate.

    I don’t like the idea of people not facing the consequences of these kinds of actions.

    I think people should know who this person is, since they showed their true self and then tried to hide it.
