Crazy Matt woke up one day at 40 years old and just decided to ruin his entire reputation and company that he spent over a decade building up.

  His reputation wasn't exactly sterling before: https://pearsonified.com/truth-about-thesis-com https://pearsonified.com/truth-about-thesis-com

    Earlier this year, Matt chased a popular Tumblr user he banned under Tumblr's weirdly transphobic TOS to Twitter to harass her publicly. He immediately took a "sabbatical" from Tumblr after this. https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/22/tumblr-ceo-publicly-spars-with-trans-user-over-account-ban-revealing-private-account-names-in-the-process/ https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/22/tumblr-ceo-publicly-spars-...

      Please point out where Tumblr’s TOS is “weirdly transphobic”. Users who post pornography are banned regardless of gender identity. Matt’s sabbatical from Automattic was already underway when this incident occurred. Disclaimer: I work for Automattic but I am speaking personally.

          That’s why it’s called AutoMATTic Wait, is Automattic really called that because Matt Mullenweg founded Automattic? I never realized that

      Odd that user got singled out, it seems pretty average for Tumblr
