Alex@bagder so glad I moved to static hosting + #mastodon comments for my blog all those years ago. I do worry about the wider #wordpress ecosystem though. A lot of web developers make a living customising and theming wordpress.
Paul Shryock@bagder WordPress needs new leadership.
Jani Nikula@bagder There should be a WordPress banner plugin equivalent of the Tesla bumper sticker "I bought this before Elon went crazy".
Siguza@bagder ...or we could pour gasoline on the fire and see how much it burns...

jolly@bagder I have to imagine that a lot of people in his life have tried to talk some sense into him and gave up weeks ago...
oiyouyeahyou@bagder I have a great idea for an April Fools Day prank 🤦♀️
bigiain@bagder Everybody has already told him that, he hasn’t listened. Hell, it took at least six weeks before his lawyers convinced him to stop posting on hackernews all the ways he was breaking the law…

Psycodepath@bagder its when a Hobby becomes your Profession (so sorry)
Alerta! Alerta!@psycodepath Wait a second! That's my phrase!
In that case it looks more like "When you hobby becomes your obsession" to me...

@psycodepath Am I Ma(d|tt)? 😛
