Ongoing discussion on the WordPress subreddit:

So Automattic has put together a list for spammers and hackers to use to target a bunch of sites who are no longer doing business with Matt Mullenweg’s nemesis.

That’s… shortsighted. This will surely result in legal action from one or more of these sites?

Note the downloadable csv of sites that presumably didn't consent to this

How many people noped out of the WordPress ecosystem forever, or started making plans for an exit?

So they are proud of this?

Fuck Matt Mullenweg. May he rot in hell for eternity.

Matt has become truly deranged.

Become...?

This is pathetic

yeah and it looks like some agree with you:
