  Hi Matt. I wanted to ask, do you think that the actions you've taken will improve the WordPress community in the long term? What do you think are the likely outcomes for WordPress users and contributors, regardless of how this conflict ends?

  I’m with you Matt! I like your strategy here.

    I was curious about your defense of Matt's behavior in this thread but your empathy makes sense given that you work on a similar project that you describe as: > A static site that is 100% free and open-source, competing with several businesses operating scammy subscription models. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30295629 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30295629 Is this a competitor to Wordpress? Can you elaborate more about how the competition in this space uses scammy subscription models? It might help to illustrate the issues in the industry for outsiders like me. Off topic, but I'm a bit of an amateur musician myself. I try to check out other musicians that I encounter, but I wasn't able to find anything about you or your music online. Do you have a bandcamp or something similar? The contrabass trombone is a really interesting instrument.

      Semi-pro, friendo. I don't do the socials. Wish I played a more sought-after instrument though. You surely know that scammy subscription models are rife in every space. That's why open-source champions like Matt are an inspiration. But nobody's perfect, so have a little grace.
