Tweets From Andrey Savchenko ![rw-book-cover](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1146689656001576960/cqn6Fvj3.jpg) ## Metadata - Author: [[@Rarst on Twitter]] - Full Title: Tweets From Andrey Savchenko - Category: #tweets - URL: https://twitter.com/Rarst ## Document Notes ## Highlights - if WordPress Foundation can't support events because insurance, can't support development and run wordpress org because taxes, doesn't manage trademark because Automattic does, doesn't have a meaningful board that makes decisions on the project... what is Foundation for? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/Rarst/status/1841007634809241682)) - being a bigger person is a powerful narrative and reforming a bully with empathy is a staple feel good story. I've thought hard on this at times and my take is that you must stop the harm first. empathize once they can't hurt people anymore. https://t.co/JSU0roHDev ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/Rarst/status/1852781730626748669)) - hadn't heard this one before - with how much WordPress shits on Drupal about "market share", when Drupal produced a nice core theme, Automattic ripped it off for wordpress com before Drupal release even happened https://t.co/eLbda5aBYA via https://t.co/fswehvrtUg ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/Rarst/status/1857101020381237554)) - @RLRottman that's pretty much it. accusing admins of being able to admin is very tired way of appealing to "that's so insecure!". it's usually aimed *at* WordPress, not WordPress weaponizing it against its own ecosystem. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/Rarst/status/1858222769676366199)) - when Automattic pompously pre-announced ACF security vulnerability, I bookmarked placeholder page to check on later, behold - admin can admin "could allow high privilege users such as admin to run arbitrary PHP functions" https://t.co/ioLZZRQrsg ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/Rarst/status/1858200048456356150)) - "Bans and blocks aren’t a sign of failure." sure. letting Matt weaponize them with zero regret, accountability, apology, consequences, or change is a sign of failure. https://t.co/Ne5RRjtNOU ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/Rarst/status/1925943778675671064)) ## New Highlights added 2026-04-16 at 6:44 AM - why is he complaining about headers on the private site he owns? make your own damn headers. 🤷 https://t.co/uIKGoiVVjm ([View Tweet](https://x.com/Rarst/status/2044302243260723400)) ## New Highlights added 2026-04-17 at 8:33 AM - 5 for the future was a poor idea from the start, because (as usual) it focused on extracting labor, not advancing project. for companies it incentivized optics, for contributors it reinforced that if you aren't worth it for the PR, the only price point WP welcomes you at is free.
