alt Hacker NewsThere was some WP drama between Automattic and the WP community a while back.
Also the whole point of Bluesky is that they aren't supposed to be a big evil silicon valley tech company. But now you have a silicon-valley VC running the thing.

They'd already taken VC money hadn't they? It's got to be said though that tech startups are getting very formulaic. Monster of the week vibes.

"Some drama"...yeah, the way there was drama between Germany and the Soviet Union back in 1941.
Automattic's Matt Mullenweg is downright insane. Just google their war with WP Engine and by extension the entire WordPress community.

Matt M. was behind the drama from WordPress' side though. It looks like Toni Schneider left in 2014.
