In light of recent developments, I think it’s worth re-sharing my post from last fall on why I’ve left #WordPress:

and for those still in it, a quote from the post: “I do, however, ask that you please consider the effects your actions have on others and be careful not to lead new victims to future abuse.”

So Long WordPress

This has been a hard post for me to write after participating in WordPress since before I even started a career in tech and, until 3 months ago, for my entire tech career. That said, it has been in the making for quite a while now and it is time that I make it official. I’ve officially left the WordPress project after 14+ years of contributing including: Meetup and WordCamp Speaker Meetup and WordCamp Organizer Core code contributor Plugin developer Photo contributor Over 11 years as mostly the sole moderator for the official WordPress jobs site Why leave now? It’s true that I had largely been moving away from the WordPress project since at least 2017. I think that is when I realized just how dishonest so much of the “community” around WordPress really is.
