Jeff GeerlingI didn't have the rapid demise of Wordpress on my 2024 bingo card.

@geerlingguy Demise? I was unaware that removing one seller of the service was considered a demise. Is there something else going on, a boycott or something I am unaware of?
@PHolder he's blocked people from the community for asking about a weird checkbox requirement and today maliciously took control over a popular plugin after blocking its maintainers from logging in.
@geerlingguy I guess this is "normal" FOSS drama and not the end of anything. People just want to be able to host their site without drama, so first one to get that figured out wins.
Eventually someone creates a system for WP plugins that doesn't require access to the .org domain or involve Matt. This will fork the community, and life will go on...
This is basically the same drama as the ones involving forcing Apple and Google to let 3rd party stores for their OSes have 1st party status.
@geerlingguy Here comes at least one of the forks https://twit.social/deck/@webdev_discu[email protected]/113354127418361816
