Wow, that WP Engine cease and desist is *next* level drama.

It’s giving late-stage silicon valley when the cease and desists are flying back and forth

@rawrmonstar he does seem a bit off-kilter

@fox ugh. No shortage of disappointing tech leadership out there, unfortunately.
Unrelated—why can’t I see your replies? You’re not muted but multiple clients hid this from me until someone else replied to it

This one reads particularly petty and lacking substance. Oof.

@zachleat I guess all hosting companies should remove any mention of WordPress from their sites? I think Matt has maybe lost the plot here.

@gavinanderegg it’s okay to selectively (and on a 14-year delay) enforce a trademark against only one of your competitors, right?
…right?

Shockwaves are hitting developers now as Matt appears to have disabled WP Engine’s access to the WordPress plugin repository https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fpeqn2/plugin_repository_inaccessible_to_wp_engine/

We are literally about to launch a client site in 2 days time on WP Engine (though we do manage plugins ourselves in version control)

@zachleat @collinsworth kinda glad I just finished my WP CLI >> 11ty 3.0 beta pipeline.

@zachleat @collinsworth It doesn't only appear like that, Matt posted it in the open: https://wordpress.org/news/2024/09/wp-engine-banned/
"WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org’s resources."
IMO this is not reducing trust in WPEngine but WordPress as a whole and I can't imagine what this mess will lead to...
