This weird grudge match is devolving more and more into schoolyard tactics. I've been wary of all the Automattic service integrations even in self hosted WP, and it's turning out even worse than I could imagine. Not with simple enshittification, but with a complete egomaniacal tantrum.

My earnest hope is that all of the former WordPress community supporters and contributors, swivel and start investing their time and effort into WriteFreely.

I'm afraid there won't be one replacement for WordPress, because it has so many applications. The pure blogging aspect could be substituted by Writefreely, more advanced users may go to Ghost, and I'm not sure what small business and corporate websites will turn to?

Have a downvote for the complete lack of context. What is this, why is it interesting to you?

All I see here is a lowest effort share of something that should probably just have been added to your personal reading list 🤷

Damn, he was a highlight of anything he appeared in, and his Trek parts were amazing. His memory lives on.

Same. My web host is already creaking under the strain of Wordpress, I'm not going to chance it by adding two-way federation to the rickety database.

I suspect that they have ulterior motives

Rather than guessing at the motives of others, let's remember Hanlon's razor.

Just any year, I'm not unreasonable 😂

I'm just really excited by this major version, and am impatient to get my hands on the final release...

[–] halm@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, fingers crossed for an actual release before New Year, though.

I don't have figures on how many people actually use GIMP, but I'm guessing a lot more than the number of people griping about its usability online.

So close...! 😂

Exciting! Hoping the RC process is short for this version 🤞🤞🤞

No, it's only code and pixels 🙂
