Remember, by moving your WordPress to something else you are not helping WordPress in any shape or form.

But the truth is that I don't give a damn of the event's sponsors, I spoke there because it was for accessibility, topic where the .org branch works too - and I mostly contribute in .org for issues; going away would hurt other users with disability including myself, not the 2 fighters - I'd contribute for the worse, going out.

@antranigv Escaping from WP is something to keep yourself safe if you feel like that, but useless for WordPress community. To be more precise I judge all this "war" absurd: I'd be the first to be forced out, given that WpEngine sponsored an event I was a speaker for. (1/2)

@talksina This is absolutely correct.

I like WordPress because <multiple reasons> so I will keep installing and hosting for my friends.

Could all of this be handled better? Yes, indeed.
Is this the end of WordPress? Not even close.

Will we continue to host/install/contribute to/improve WordPress? Yes we will!

@antranigv There are so many people with "toxic" behaviours in this life. But we can't get influenced by them every move we make! I escaped Twitter, or to say it better "x-shitter" as soon as Musk acquired it because he built an algorithm promoting bad contents and fired all accessibility team. That's a signal. But WordPress is a complete echosystem where we have people making bad things, but ones working for the good, are still the most and going away hurts the community.
