I'm not entirely sure I've read anything on the internet which should be interpreted in exactly the opposite manner as how it's written.
It's like one of those PR-speak statements about a mass layoff where the CEO (but really a team of PR wonks) waxes poetic about how difficult it is for him to lay off parts of the company, but, this one doesn't even have the benefit of running through the PR-speak machine.
> good on Matt for sticking to values here
What other option does he have? Wordpress is GPL, he couldn't legally stop a fork if he wanted. I assume using the power of Automattic he could try to lawfare a fork out of existence but it would be obvious what he was trying to do.
Matt has demonstrated that one of his core values is vindictiveness, inability to receive feedback and huge ego that has destroyed a decade of goodwill in a few weeks.
Based on how I learned about his personality, I have to agree. Until this point, I've never seen a tech CEO follow one of their users to a different social network to continue an argument.
