Has Matt Mullenweg & Automattic Lost Their Ever-Loving Mind?
I just found out that another contributor to the WordPress open source project has been kicked off of the WordPress.org repo and site.

Testing the latest update to the plugin that @alexstandiford@fosstodon.social pointed out. Last time I tried this. It worked but broke my blog post on certain sites. I noticed that the first sentence will be the title, so keep it short, hit enter, and the write more. Check the plugin out here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-mastodon-apps/ Looks like there’s

So I finally decided to move the Fediverse Resources page to it’s own domain name. This way I can invite collaborators and grow the list. Check it out here: https://gmedia.sh/fedi-resources-sgnet It’s still rudimentary, but it’s something.

On Forking WordPress
It’s been floated with the recent outburst between Matt Mullenweg and WP Engine, that the community should fork (aka move the OSS) WordPress to a new project, with out the drama (or so it’s thought). I’m not sure how I feel about this. It’s not going to be a small feat. When WordPress was forked
