Matt Mullenweg Answers WordCamp Attendees' Questions – sos-wp.it
Another question he was asked was about the performance sweden phone number of WordPress as a platform. Matt Mullenweg was asked if the poor performance (in terms of users who decided to use WordPress for their website) around 2018 was related to the release of the block editor and how instead it seemed like he was thinking of placing the blame on a single entity, again blaming WP Engine.
Mullenweg was quite clear in specifying that, obviously, it is not possible to attribute the problems of the last period of WordPress to just one reality, and that is not his intent. But then you wanted to reiterate that it is clear that if the companies that should give something back to the community from which they draw profit do not do so in a substantial way the basic project suffers .
Regarding the block editor, Mullenweg wanted to remember how huge steps forward have been made since 2018 and how new features are on the way that will convince more and more users to switch to this new way of building websites.
One user wanted to take the floor to make what could be considered a very fair criticism from the point of view of many WordPress users: using the open meeting platform to promote what is positive in WordPress to spread a feeling of positivity and not negativity.
Matt Mullenweg made it clear that he didn't want to talk about what's going on with WP Engine , but he also made it clear that when dealing with bullies, you shouldn't let them continue to bully, referring to the direct way he called out the company for what, again, in his view, they wouldn't do to the ecosystem they profit from.
Mullenweg was then asked his opinion on some acquisitions that have been made by companies that revolve around WordPress. Specifically, the one made on Nitro Pack. This was the occasion for Mullenweg to recall another substantial difference that exists between the philosophy of WordPress and what, from his point of view, is the slightly more capitalistic philosophy that animates the other companies that benefit from WordPress.
