Hi Northern Hemisphere 👋🏻 Small request: When communicating with an international audience, instead of using seasons to depict time, can you please use a unit of measurement that is the same for everybody? eg. "In June" rather than "In the Summer". Thanks, Southern Hemisphere.

Just @photomatt letting the big numbers blind him from the important numbers. Like, the number of long-term contributors leaving the project entirely.

Since Sept 17th, 2024, when the whole @wpengine thing started, there have been 28,738,111 downloads of WordPress Core (this includes all versions and all languages), 296,991,952 downloads of plugins, and 7,338,623 downloads of themes. But yes, tell us WordPress is in trouble. 😂

Ricky Blacker, Head of Technical Services at WP Engine, has long championed website accessibility during his career. So when WP Accessibility reached out, he was eager to get involved with this year’s WordPress Accessibility Day, leading coverage for the APAC region. 🌏 WordPress Accessibility Day is a free 24-hour online event featuring live-streamed presentations with live captions and ASL interpretation. After the event, all sessions will be transcribed, captioned, and available to watch on-demand. Learn more: 2024.wpaccessibility.day/

Not sure if this is shameful foreshadowing loosely wrapped in a rhetorical question or.... actually, I'm pretty sure.
What are the best alternatives to Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf for people who want to switch away? Is there an easy way to migrate? I suspect there are going to be millions of sites moving away from it in the coming weeks.

Does anyone have contact details for a good click farm? This one that @bluehost is using seems good...

I'm sympathetic to @photomatt's dilemma with Wordpress contribution and WP Engine (not the way it's been handled tho). But man, he's having an Elon-class meltdown, I hope he can take some time off the Internet to get in a better mental place. news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

All MM needs to do now is to rebrand #WordPress to just the letter 'W', and then he will have graduated from the school of Musk. #WPDrama
