@GoodPlanSam But then seeing this ONE guy, who thinks he's the center of the universe and did this all himself...

@GoodPlanSam I decided to not attend this year. Yes, my finances are negative. But even when there was a chance, I just didn't feel like pursuing it this time. I've contributed a huge number of hours, mentoring new contributors, supporting the Polyglots community, providing support, etc...

I’ve been part of the WordPress community for a few years. It shaped my work, my friendships, even pieces of who I am. But lately? It doesn’t feel like home any more. With WordCamp Europe coming up, I should be excited. But recent bans, silenced contributors, and top-down decisions have left me deeply uneasy. This isn’t just drama. It’s about power. Control. And what happens when one person holds too much of it. I’ve seen friends pushed out for asking hard questions. I’ve felt that tension myself - the pressure to stay quiet, to avoid conflict, to protect my place. So I stepped back. And now I’m not sure I’ll return. I wrote about it - not to stir the pot, but to say what some of us are thinking. That something’s off. That maybe we need to talk about what kind of community we’re becoming. 🔗 samalderson.co.uk/life-and-energ… If WordPress doesn’t feel like home to you right now, you’re not alone. #WordPress #WCEU #OpenSource #CommunityMatters

@servmask @HariShanker could be a perfect match. What he does has great impact in making the WordPress community stronger and more resilient.

We're looking to sponsor WordPress contributors through #FiveForTheFuture! ServMask has capacity to fund 20-40 hours/week. If you're contributing or want to, and are looking for sponsorship, DM us or get in touch! Let's grow WordPress together. 💙 #WordPress

@topher1kenobe Imagine you're using WordPress in Arabic, barely know what a CMS is, and far from all drama. Now you need to post in the Arabic WordPress forum. On the registration/login screen you get this question (in English - which you don't know). Your reaction?

Does this mean that users of ACF can no longer log in? How about people who've accepted donations from WPE? How about people who host at WPE?

I don't think I'm connected to WPE, but just to be on the safe side, I'll stay away. So until further notice, you won't see me logged-in as a WordPress contributor.

@BatsouElef As a matter of fact, I do it all the time. Don't know if the model is smart enough to register that, though. Especially since I regularly use copyrighted input and therefore can't allow OpenAI to train on m conversations. OK, next time I won't say thanks.

Have you ever said "Thank you" to ChatGPT or other AI systems?

@naokomc I hope you find something good, soon. (And I'd love to work more with you!)

Today was my last day at Automattic. I'm actively exploring new career opportunities. If you know of any positions that align with my skills and experience! naoko.blog/2024/10/04/lea…

@michelleames So much for trying to think out-of-the-box (sigh) </rant> <hug>

@tobi_f You have asked for a feature that is not yet available. Please hang up and try again later 😁

You have reached Michelle's Twitter/X account. We're sorry, but Michelle is not currently available. For an inspirational quote, please press 1.

@BobWP Yeah. Some gorgonzoleuz cheese is always right.

I am really become more and more interested in the Fediverse. But at the same time, I must admit I dream about a Fetaverse

@srikat "Otto" points to Matt: meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/14091

Did someone order wordpress.com to be removed from wordpress.org/hosting ? Not sneaky at all.

@jdevalk Among other things, we'll have a WordPress Translation Week that nicely coincides with Yoast Contributor Day (on Oct 17). translate.wordpress.org/events/2024/wo…

@jdevalk Next cohort of WordPress New Contributor Mentorship program starting soon. Even if you're not participating directly, you're more than welcome to join our channel on "Making WordPress" Slack: "mentorship-cohort-oct-2024" for news, inspiration, ideas, and perhaps help out a bit.

Ok people, give me all the positive & inspiring WordPress news of the day. We’re about to launch Progress Planner and I want to see cool stuff 😀

@ChrisBadgett Are you looking for vendor or experienced user?

I’d love to interview a WordPress expert on Multi Lingual websites on our podcast LMScast. Who do you recommend for that?

@axljka Tur att han inte frågade om isbjörn vs. pingvin, där det är en himla tur (för de senare) att de inte håller till runt samma pol.

Sjuåringen: ”Pappa, kan olika djur förstå varandra? Typ en tiger och en panter.” Och nu kan jag inte fundera över nåt annat. Jag behöver mejla lite folk. Återkommer.

@TechConnectify Have you killed yet getvoltplug.com/article/en They claim you'd save 90% of your electric energy by buying a their very expensive green LED. Pro-tip: change /en for /fr /sv etc to get the same garbage in another language, along with localized author and social proof.

Just published version 1 of a new article. Feedback welcome. gsm.fjellner.com/hints-about-i1…
