PPC LandICYMI: Cloudflare's EmDash CMS sparks fight with WordPress founder Mullenweg: Cloudflare launched EmDash on April 1 - a WordPress alternative with sandboxed plugins, x402 payments, and AI tools that drew criticism from Matt Mullenweg. https://ppc.land/cloudflares-emdash-cms-sparks-fight-with-wordpress-founder-mullenweg/ #Cloudflare #EmDash #WordPress #Mullenweg #AItools
N-gated Hacker NewsAh, yes, the classic tale of the tech guru who gets caught in a well-documented #phishing #scam 🙄. #Mullenweg, the self-proclaimed protector of digital security, foiled by a reset button—truly the hero we never asked for and definitely don't need. Maybe next time, he can teach us how to smell a rat without having to fall into the rat trap first 🐭🔒.

jbz😅 WordPress wants to push AI to almost half of the Internet, good luck with that.
｢ The AI push is coming straight from Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg. He’s very into the magical CEO-level promises of vibe coding, with his new tool Telex, which is supposed to compete with instant vibe-website builders like Lovable ｣

Matt certainly knows how to make a comeback
Automattic Inc. Claims It Owns the Word 'Automatic'

Ecologia Digital"The announcement also raises questions about what this means for #Tumblr’s integration with the #opensocialweb, known as the fediverse. By migrating its infrastructure to #WordPress, it would have become a #federatedapp. #Mullenweg admits that was one of the arguments for making the move, but hints that it’s no longer a priority.
“…in the meantime, I think if there was a big push to implement fediverse, we would just do it on the Tumblr code base,” he said."

Matt Mullenweg Settles Caregiver Lawsuits Days Before Trial
> In the same post, Mullenweg also advised other wealthy founders in similar situations to “Never settle. It just creates an incentive for more people to make stuff up. Even if it’s messy, fight the claims in court as I am doing.” The post has since been taken down.

Marcel WaldvogelThe company behind #Wordpress, #Automattic, is getting increasingly aligned.
The employee base now consist of "Mullenweg’s strongest supporters, and people who couldn’t afford to risk leaving their jobs", neither of which will contradict #Mullenweg.
Apparently recently, Automattic has been adding watermarking to the background in internal communications systems. The result will be that those afraid of leaving will be even more compliant. What a work culture.

Mullenweg fires people to make room for AI slop, not surprising at all.
