Two days after being placed on a paid leave of absence, Matt Mullenweg says he has been reinstated as CEO of Automattic, according to a Slack message seen by TechCrunch. WordPress Executive Director Mary Hubbard confirmed Mullenweg’s return to the CEO role in a Friday post on X, which the official WordPress account shared and Mullenweg reposted.
Still missing the point. Completely. Matt is an asshat. No disagreement there. But that’s not something that warrants him being killed.
I’m aware of the point, but I wanted to point out that the Nazi comparison doesn’t work. Whether it warrants hoping for his death is a separate question, but there’s a qualitative difference between voluntary asshattery and persecuting people for things outside their control and regardless of the harm they do.
There is a difference between wanting him to be killed and looking forward to enjoy his death in a comedic fashion.
If he had a tragic death, that would kind of take the gas out of it.
No, there is no difference. Both are taking satisfaction in his death. You people are fucked up.
