   I'm surprised anyone still uses wordpress after this whole sh!tshow, but outside HN folks probably don't even know. Just reading about it about it puts me off from the product and company.

      If I had to stop using all the software whose politics I find problematic I would have to earn a living breaking rocks.

         Mullenweg's troubling politics or the lawsuits against him are far from the main reason people should stop using WordPress. It's only been 2 years since he abused his control over the WordPress plugin infrastructure to wreak havoc among users of hosting providers that he had petty arguments with.

         It&#x27;s ironic that this kind of blatant user harm gets brushed off as &quot;political,&quot; when many on this forum defending him do so for politics.
