What timing.

The CEO of Tumblr/WordPress, AutoMattic's Matt Mullenweg, recently lost his mind online, acting stupid at a Tumblr user, then following that Tumblr user onto a different platform to continue acting stupid.

This just goes to show that techbro CEOs cannot be trusted with your data. And just because one of them isn't yet hated like Elon Musk doesn't mean they won't be activated like a sleeper agent because of a mildly naughty Tumblr username.
