Tweets From Matt Mullenweg  ## Metadata - Author: [[@photomatt on Twitter]] - Full Title: Tweets From Matt Mullenweg - Category: #tweets - URL: https://twitter.com/photomatt ## Document Notes ## Highlights - @VSHoward So if https://t.co/0IkxYEedTF was under the Foundation, which is a 501c3, we'd have to remove all commercial plugins, like Elementor, Yoast, Jetpack, etc. That's why I run it through me personally and pay taxes. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1840948013360910448)) - Please propose an alternative! They need to be independently wealthy to subsidize https://t.co/0IkxYEeLJd, which serves 30k requests a second at peak, and ideally command a for-profit entity that can contribute thousands of hours a week to WordPress. https://t.co/RVaYFIJ9G5 ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1840892990413553976)) - @sereedmedia I publicly apologize. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1841695459942817940)) - @mathewi Here's some notes a colleague put together, I hope you consider them: https://t.co/PoqXIx5hQ3 ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1844860642878185504)) - @wordpressdotcom And is it on .com? Make your tweets more relevant. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1856759858542121459)) - WordPress Founder Matt Mullenweg Is ‘More Energized’ Than Ever Amid WP Engine Battle writes @allypengelly https://t.co/w1UBQrXMWr  ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1858585503060160533)) - Why an ‘executive gap year’ can be a power move https://t.co/G4U7HJYSYb ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1860029433698222306)) - @DuaneStorey Wow, you're really going off the deep end. Get out of your bubble. Think about the benefits to humanity and real users. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1861104718811988380)) - @theo @tonyzeoli @WordPress @wpengine Which I appreciate, and incorporated! We'll be able to look back in a few months and see which approach worked better. BTW, just today we passed 50% of all WP sites in the world are on 6.7, our latest version. 🎉 WPE continues to bleed customers: https://t.co/wVDYLKSr7j ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1862124837809881366)) - @softwaredoug @tonyzeoli @WordPress @wpengine What’s a OSS project with as big an ecosystem and adoption as WordPress that’s run that way? Is it possible the governance structure of Drupal or Joomla is part of why they’ve fallen so far behind? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1862173985728795131)) - I’m disgusted and sickened by being legally forced to provide free labor and services to [wpengine](https://twitter.com/wpengine), a dangerous precedent that should chill every open source maintainer. While I disagree with the court’s decision, I've fully complied with its order. You can see most changes on the site. They have access to ACF slug but haven’t changed it… must not have been the emergency they claimed. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1867759730992586756)) - @heyamberhinds Like at what point do you say a Rothko painting isn’t high contrast enough? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1875186207405334922)) - @heyamberhinds You’re tipping into net negative contribution territory. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1875185846204444871)) - @OliverSild @patchstackapp I agree that's a crappy email to get, and it's also not 100% accurate. Thanks for raising this issue, I'll look into it. Thank you for all you and your colleagues do trying to make WordPress and its plugins and themes better. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1877030025574191570)) - I tried privately for 18+ months to get WP Engine to correct their abuse of the WordPress and WooCommerce trademarks. They themselves have tacitly acknowledged they were in the wrong: Please look at the numerous changes they’ve made to their site, probably on advice of their lawyers, since Sept 20. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1877840750047871138)) - It looks like you have some non-core login stuff. BTW it is incorrect to say that XML-RPC is legacy or insecure, it is neither and is fully supported on many web hosts including .com and wp.cloud-powered ones. It is also necessary for our pingback feature. It is used more than the REST API even though REST has been in core for many years now. (With the benefit of hindsight, I actually wouldn't have merged REST, probably would have left it as a plugin.) Our latest security problems were actually in the REST API, not the XML-RPC one, so if you're going to call something insecure it's more accurate to say REST has been. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1878888281732939877)) - It’s an imperfect metaphor, but play with it in your mind. Understand why WordPress has outpaced other proprietary and open source alternatives, many of which have better functionality in many areas. And maybe listen to the person that did it rather than armchair quarterbacking? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1879663906991522173)) - And if Joomla had 43% of the web and WordPress had 1.6%, almost all of the businesses built on WP would be on Joomla instead. They don’t actually care about the core platform in a lifelong missionary way like I do, as evidenced by some trying to “diversify” into Shopify right now. (The proprietary #2, with totally controlled market dynamics.) ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1879662676022055195)) - “If I build a restaurant next to your park, I’m contributing to the park, right? Because my restaurant makes more people walk through your park.” ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1879659099664916524)) - @natejhake @TheRealRutledge I can see the traffic of millions more WordPress-powered sites than you. If there was a WP-specific issue, I’d pick up the phone and talk to an engineer at Google about it. We are not the same. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1880707531133305310)) - @miriamschwab @GoDaddy How much have they donated to the WordPress Foundation? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1883586342946492747)) - The foundation is totally public as a 5013c3, but that has nothing to do with the operation of https://t.co/hf8gmhQXFO, which belongs to me personally, or the “project” which is a collection of people working together voluntarily on a shared goal (democratize publishing) and public rules and guidelines. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1749287036220064146)) - @rfhow @jb510 @heyamberhinds The Foundation has never employed people or funded any development, so it's incorrect to say it sometimes does. This has been consistent the entire history of WordPress, and it is our plan for future as well. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1569404012939644930)) - He's trying to claim he didn't want to fork or stage a coup, but wrote: “I think it’s time to let go of the cult and change project leadership.” “But it’s clear now, that we can no longer have him be our sole leader” “I’m already talking to several hosts about this, and would welcome anyone who wants to join these conversations, so we’re not duplicating work.” “I’m here, and willing to lead through this transition. I do have the time, the energy and the money needed to fund myself doing it.” ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1887997191693943193)) - Before he tries to make more drama about not being at WordCamp Asia, I just wanted to say that I feel [jdevalk](https://twitter.com/jdevalk) stabbed me when I was down, betrayed confidence, tried to take advantage of a situation for personal clout and influence. I have given him hundreds of hours of my time and more access than almost anyone in the WP community, including admin access on Google Analytics, a marketing leadership position, and more. This trust was betrayed. His previous contributions do not "make up" for this behavior, nor has he apologized or taken any conciliatory action. This deeply saddens me. Because of this, I will not interact with him any further or participate with anything he's involved with, he's persona non grata. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1887939011173564505)) - @thekevingeary @edcatmull No, but I admire your confidence jumping to conclusions on so little data. You already have your mind made up, I’ll stop trying to change it. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1888921575170441477)) - @BillOfWonder "it's too big for any one person to solely hold the reigns" There are projects and companies much bigger than WordPress with one person solely holding the reigns. I don't follow your logic. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1888043532662997390)) - @jonoalderson This reads like you don’t think other people are doing reprehensible actions and facing the consequences of them. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1890364300935528685)) - In high school when 5% of your class doesn't like you it's like 3-5 people. Running a company of 1,700+ when 5% doesn't like you, that's 85 people! That fills a room. 150k followers and 5% don't like you now you have a small stadium of 7,500 people. It's still 5%. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1890198973727875119)) - @thatmitchcanter We have several really successful distros already, we just don’t call them that. Newspack, Altis, https://t.co/3T3ChqLeKx, VIP, you could even make an argument for Elementor, and many more. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1841709776633246014)) - @OliverSild Sounds kind of confusing with State of the Word. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1892635235835171138)) - @learnwithmattc WPE was also hiding the WP-admin panel that promoted local meetups, because they were trying to filter the news feed (and messed it up and broke their customer sites). Are they still doing that? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1894433597949370502)) - @learnwithmattc Also remember helping with this were several teams sponsored by Automattic that are withdrawn while under attacks and legal siege from WPE. If you’d like to see more US WordCamps, petition WPE to settle the lawsuits. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1894398559841054878)) - @WilliamBay Check out the video, it went great. 😊 You’d be shocked how little WPE stuff comes up outside certain bubbles. Over 700 people participated in contributor day. 2025 totals will be bigger than 2024. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1895718661421445126)) - @SpencerForman Actually this is the fourth or fifth time in our history there’s been a supposedly existential backlash like the one you’re projecting. If I had a nickel for every hater message like this since 2003… oh wait, I do. 😉 Let’s check back in five years. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1895552517129584884)) - @GergelyOrosz The trademark was 100% owned by Automattic, that was the only way I could convince the investors to transfer it. Wasn’t perfect, but better than being held by the for profit. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1887137557617754548)) - @strebel I have lots of examples besides my Mom, including several that have talked to press already for stories. I just mentioned her because she's followed my Google Alerts for 20 years and is pretty savvy on open source and WordPress and her son. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1899932490950729839)) - @bgardner I’m sorry your employer’s legal attacks are starving resources from core. Someone should ask them to stop. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1912407813483012323)) - @robinjescott @linuxfoundation More plugins should probably go under Linux Foundation, they support over 900 projects and it’s not too hard to get started with them. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1931663621127364914)) - @titanas It’s way, way better at WCUS, and best at WCAsia. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1931386389234401396)) - @FrancescaMarano @WCEurope I said nothing about the organizers or organization, please don’t mislead and inflame. It’s unfair towards organizers. I was commenting on attendees. It’s obviously not everyone, just a noticeably higher %. I heard a number of people besides Stefanos remark on this. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1931796607067898027)) - @ask_hellosatya Organizing was great, it’s an attendee thing. You have no control over that. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1931795289264075088)) - @KatieKeithBarn2 I wouldn’t be surprised if host FAIR mirrors distributing paid plugins starting asking for a cut of revenue, it’s what they have always wanted and tried several times before by putting paid directories in the admin or hijacking core plugin page. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1931801970811060690)) - Here are WordPress' Plugin Directory Guidelines: https://t.co/E1SQgJckZk For the good of WordPress, I hope they remain in place. User experience chaos will follow if they fall. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1931875324519936272)) - @xaver_ @titanas Much more conversation about product, functionality, code-first experiments, growth, initiative, working together, optimism, and personal agency. Future-oriented. Less about regulation, government, processes, committees, permission, sustainability, fragmenting .org, grudges, and ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1932118044375163058)) - @WordCampUS @schutzsmith Sorry the Twitter stalkers and harassers are trying to dunk, thank you so much for helping out here and I hope we get a chance to meet at WCUS! It's shaping up to be a really exciting event. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1935355153877782594)) - @desrosj @WordPress I think the plugin requirements and contextual blocking of upgrades and messaging was key. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1939337170688627025)) - @thekevingeary is it possible to get some text on https://t.co/kwZhXfDubC clarifying it has nothing to do with @automattic? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1944634217654026548)) - @westonruter @WordCampUS Thank you for the work you do, it would be a huge boost to any employer. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1960907387130536258)) - I ask that you all beware of greenwashing, openwashing, and other ways evil corporate interests subvert the narrative: https://t.co/FAalEe5jYB ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1974751509117276479)) - You know, it might be time to bring some Wapuu into core, or at least have a nice home on .org for all the variations. https://t.co/OOR6R1OZ4d ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1976543791826993339)) - After a year of just playing defense, @automattic has finally had a chance to file its counterclaims against @wpengine and @silverlake_news. It also happens to be 20 years since I started at the company! I wrote more about all this here: https://t.co/shzaRuoNsb ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1981909889879326942)) - @automattic @wpengine @silverlake_news I don't think most employees at @wpengine or their board at @silverlake_news were aware of the depths of what @heatherjbrunner and other WP Engine leadership were doing. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/1981910481049895330)) - @thekevingeary We also own https://t.co/HMht39nMmv. You had to know this was a fraught naming area.

Core has been doing awesome work and progress despite that, and 7.0 will be a very good release. Without being under the siege of lawfare we could do much more. ([View Tweet](https://x.com/photomatt/status/2032383174290886713)) - @stevemarkperry What you're suggesting is to be happy with gaslighting. This is abuse by economically advantaged actors, and we shouldn't normalize it.

Instead, they hide behind @quinnemanuel, draining your company of tens of millions of dollars that ([View Tweet](https://x.com/photomatt/status/2032970708096061820)) - @bgardner You don't have to listen to me.

Come on @wpengine @heatherjbrunner, most companies would kill to get airtime on @verge, it’s a top publication in our industry. Or just pay your dark PR firm more (FGS Global?) and spin up more of those bots you used against me last year. https://t.co/jM8nqimMgg https://t.co/o5P2ORRsGh  ([View Tweet](https://x.com/photomatt/status/2033282182286807446)) - @imbradmiller @automattic @wpengine @WordPress Contribution is nice, but stopping the harm of trademark abuse is far more important for everyone in the ecosystem. It’s not fair for others who follow the trademark to compete when they don’t.

That’s normal and even good sometimes. Long term you want to be aligned but you never fully know what’s going on inside.
