@jalefkowit @iam_sysop Ah, so Matt is telling them to fork off when they weren't already doing that?

@be @iam_sysop I think he thinks he is calling their bluff. He is telling them where they can put the polite way. If they want the project to change course, he is saying, the polite way is not gonna make that happen.
-
@jalefkowit I think Mattt is going to announce his full support of Trump any day now. He’s got the vibe.

@ShiitakeToast @jalefkowit That's the thing, your company gets to a certain size, you pay people to do this stuff. They'll even put "quotes attributable to Mr Mullenweg" which he doesn't even have to utter.

@glent @ShiitakeToast Howard Hughes lost his mind, and it took decades for the rest of the world to find out. A well-run corporation can keep erratic leadership under wraps for a very long time
-
@jalefkowit @glent @ShiitakeToast not only do I vehemently agree with this, I'll go one further: it's the raison d'être of the corporate structure. It is supposed to build a business that is resilient to the faults of any single person, up to & very much including its senior leadership positions. Any company not managing this feat is whiffing one of its most crucial goals.
(Not sufficient, of course, only necessary. You still have to make payroll, have income, not alienate your workforce...)

@gnomon @glent @ShiitakeToast If I ever manage to build my business into anything significant, I expect at some point the board will come by to take the keys to my fedi account away. I will have to console myself by racing carbon-fiber catamarans crewed by Ivy-educated supermodels

@jalefkowit that post was negging from start to finish.
The shitposter in me would also like to advise librematt.org is free. Although that would play into his ego.

@jalefkowit So I'm getting (since this whole craziness started) that Matt's crazy, but what's Photography Matthew? Has he done a crazy before?
-
@jalefkowit what even?

@bryanredeagle His online handle is PhotoMatt. It’s a pun on a thing nobody under age 30 will remember.

@dysfun Who even knows anymore. It’s just this goddamn rock we all have to drag uphill forever now

TechCrunch has picked up the story of Photography Matthew's latest blog tantrum. If you want/need context, they do a pretty good job of providing it.

@jalefkowit Nah, I'm good.

@APBBlue I occasionally have to remind myself that the general run of humanity is not professionally obliged to follow this madness. The lucky bastards
-
"Woke up to a phone full of pings that @photomatt has…publicly announced he’s deactivated an account I haven’t logged into since February 2020, for an OSS project I haven’t been involved with since then, and am not involved with now.
Must have been a bad batch from his dealer."
