Even if they find a middle ground to this mess that Matt has created, I very much fear that the damage to the community is done and it's only a matter of time before the popularity of the once famous platform that almost everyone uses in one way or another collapses.
- Etheryte 2y agoFor better or worse, I would optimistically say that that might be a good thing. WordPress has given a lot to the internet over the years, but a very large portion of its giving has been pwned sites and security issues. If this leads to either the birth or popularization of a tool that's modern and secure, that would be a net win for everyone involved.
- seydor 2y agoI can only imagine how worse it will be if wordpress is hastily replaced with some javascript contraption
- gjvc 2y agoGood. WordPress is merely the tallest dwarf.
- switch007 2y agoDepends how good their PR is. By all accounts, their current PR is not very good
- saaaaaam 2y agoI think their current PR seems to be Matt Mullenweg himself. And the more I hear him speak - having never really concerned myself with anything he said - the more loopy and disconnected from reality he seems. Post-economic! Sometimes it’s great to have a slightly crazy visionary with utopian ideals who is prepared to say whatever they think will effect change. But also: Elon.
- arend321 2y agoIt sounds a bit similar to when Drupal faded to obscurity during the Larry Garfield sage. Of course there is a long run up that finally explodes with a high profile issue, but the writing could be on the wall for WordPress.
