Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It strokes the ego of a colossal douche.
That's the whole game.

Automattic really should have trademarked "WP" as it relates to CMS but they didn't so I guess they want those two letters? They are trying to extract money or other support from WP Engine, yet with GPLv2 WP Engine doesn't owe Automattic shit.
It mostly harms small businesses
