I believe that WPEngine disabling the admin news feed that displayed his posts directly to WPEngine's customers was the tipping point for calling it a hacked up, bastardized simulacra
- rahkiin 2y agoThat was after he made a personal post hating on WPEngine show up on all dashboard of all WPEngine customers. I read the revisions are often turned off as they cause major issues with database performance. It is a standard feature of wordpress too but them turning it off by default triggered matt
- EFreethought 2y agoI run a couple of WP instances on a shared hosting service (not WPEngine), and honestly I have no need for the admin news feed. If I knew how to turn it off I would. That is a weird thing to get upset about.

- unsnap_biceps 2y agoI think the key difference is that Twitter or MySpace wasn't GPL software. Matt is complaining that someone modified "his" GPL software, as the license he's using grants them the privilege to do.
- dylan604 2y agoI was referring to the admin news portion being forced upon everyone, not the state of code availability
