Ormai si sa che quando dico “è troppo lungo”, in realtà intendo “non ho finito, ma il resto viene dopo”… e non parlo di sesso, ma ancora di WordPress dopo il pippone di prima. 🤥 (Abbiate pazienza.)

La cosa assurda è che sia io, sia troppa altra gente, stiamo scoprendo ora questi altarini di Matt Mullenweg, che prima sembrava un tizio sano (anche se eccentrico, col suo fare grossi piani ed altrettanto grosse promesse per poi mandare tutto in fumo), ma… dai commenti di quel video, ora scopro che gli utenti #Tumblr sanno da ben prima la vera faccia dell’uomo. 👺

Sono praticamente morta stamattina, quando ho cercato più informazioni partendo da reference comiche che non capivo, e ho trovato una notizia che parla di come a febbraio Matt sia diventato lo zimbello della community, per il suo modo di reagire alle lamentele degli utenti Tumblr riguardo una moderazione completamente assente… ma solo quando a soffrirne sono utenti normali, non quando ci va per sotto il #CEO supremo. 😈

Infatti ci sono i meme su come “bro si è sentito minacciato da birbanterie di livello Looney Tunes“, dopo che un’utente frustrata fu bannata a vita per “minacce di violenza contro lo staff di Tumblr“, per il solo aver fatto un post dove diceva “spero che Matt muoia per sempre di una morte dolorosa che abbia a che fare con un’automobile coperta di martelli che esplode più di qualche volta e i martelli volano dappertutto“… la “minaccia” dove starebbe esattamente? 😴

Quindi, cioè, quando prima ho scherzato sulla natura da megalomane di Matt non l’ho fatto solo per ridere, il fondo di verità c’è. Se non bastasse la compagnia che prende il nome da lui, c’è anche il fatto (non so quanto verificato, però) che ha ribattezzato come “sammattico” (“sammattical“) il suo periodo sabbatico (“sabbatical”) da Tumblr… che in teoria stava ancora vivendo, nel momento in cui ha deciso di intervenire in risposta agli utenti. 🤡️

Insomma: #WordPress sta venendo distrutto internamente con un tweet alla volta, (e una reazione clown dei dipendenti ai messaggi del CEO su Slack alla volta), Tumblr di questo passo non vedrà mai la federazione ActivityPub (che Matt aveva tanto promesso, per fare marameo a Musk e Zuckerberg insieme); mentre noi utenti, per non morire, consumiamo meme come il più moderno oppio digitale. 🤤️

Io spero che Matt si trasformi in un coyote bidimensionale di nome Willy contro la sua volontà, mentre auguro al CEO di WP Engine di acquisire il potere di trasformarsi in quello struzzo strano a comando per poter adeguatamente trollare il primo. E, a proposito, altri link sulla storiella di Tumblr li raccolgo qui: https://memos.octt.eu.org/m/FVgCPXSXQhwDUoARDE4Qbs. 🗞️

warpress - fritto misto di octospacc

WordPress… #WordPress has gone WOKE!!! Bene, ora che ho l’attenzione di tipo tutti, posso parlare di come Automattic sia definitivamente entrata nel suo villain arc… Si, questo post lo stavo per scrivere una decina di giorni fa, quando la situazione era orribile ma non tragica, ma ora siamo ad un punto proprio di non ritorno.

I'd been staying out of this conflict, partly because I'm not really *in the kno... | Hacker News

Expanding on that stalker behavior, a few days ago Kellie Peterson, ex-Automattic alumni, posted that she would reach out to other employees who are quitting due to Matt's meltdown and taking his offer of severance or $30k to do so, helping them get set up with new work if they haven't arranged already.

In comes in Matt, to her DMs, accusing her of attacking him (she didn't), falling back on "how nice he's been to her" (🚩), and not-so-subtly threatening legal action against her.

How nice of him.

Unsurprisingly after returning from sabbatical, he's still doing the same unethical behavior he was doing the last time he turned into a corn cob (less than six months ago, mind you): getting into the DMs and fighting with users, employees, and critics, who were usually women or femme and with an underlying threat of legal action or banning.

“Nice Guy” Matt Mullenweg, CEO of WordPress.com Cries Foul and Threatens Me With Legal Action

Why Are Tumblr Users Making Memes About Cars And Hammers? Tumblr CEO PhotoMatt's So-Called 'Meltdown' And Controversy Explained

Some Tumblr users are rallying behind a blogger supposedly banned for issuing threats to the CEO, condemning the website's alleged anti-trans moderation practices. Here's what you need to know about the controversy.

Know Your Meme

@photomatt For the record all of Rita's other usernames are cool as hell and I sincerely hope she files a Data Protection complaint against you for abusing your admin access and distributing that information without her consent, you amazing pissbaby.

I was really strongly considering making my new site/blog be WordPress-based (partly to make it easy to import the old blog entries from 2008-2016)... but with Matt Mullenweg having a #transphobic meltdown last week, I'm really just not feeling it.

Yeah, I know, we can still use the software. And it might help me get a job. But I'm just... kind of thinking of giving other options a really serious look first, you know?

Staff (the account that represents #Tumblr Inc announcements and statements) has made an official response,

For a corporate entity, and knowing from ex staff how almost everyone hates the CEO, this is probably the most genuine response they could probably make, and a good first step moving forward.

It isn't enough though. Not while their prior unjustified bans (and bans of people criticizing the situation) stand. Not while Matt Mullenweg is free to tyrannize the platform and continues to violate several data protection regulations and conduct guidelines, corncobbing and stalking people off site.
Not when they are allegedly in talks to sell off user data to Midjourney.

A regain of trust can only come if Tumblr actually fundamentally fixes the issues that sparked this.

And that includes removing Matt from any power at Tumblr.

The trans woman who was banned from #Tumblr posted about her experiences on Twitter, and the CEO showed up in her fucking replies to continue discrediting her, accusing her of lying about death wishes without detailing the part where no reasonable person could interpret them as credible, and POSTING SEVERAL OF HER PAST OTHER TERMINATED BLOG NAMES FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

A CEO worth 400 million US dollars publicly lambasted a trans woman and followed her off-site to harass her. I literally cannot even fathom.

He's also been deleting his responses to the community and restricting sharing of his posts, so here's a repository of screenshots of his posts, the trans woman's posts, him going on several DM threads he's had with Tumblr users criticizing him, and his tweets.

@mAD_h0PZ Reporting credible threats of violence or terrorism is actually a legal requirement. No one reported your "i hope photomatt dies forever a painful death", however. There's no problem with your transition photos, or the millions of others that have been posted.

@pteryx yeah, it's a whole mess and still a developing situation so I'm not sure I can explain it well. The #photomatt tag has details... kinda
