Gee what could this be in relation to I wonder

that does mean "no leaking!!11!", right?

What's the context? I'm assuming this somehow related to embarrassing messages being shared as part of the ongoing drama?

This is to protect Matt. If he DMs you something unhinged you can't publish it.

Slight correction, you can't publish it without suffering enforcement actions [1]. There's no legal consequence for it beyond the confines of the Wordpress ecosystem.

I would imagine if it's something unhinged, people are going to publish it anyway as they'll already be distancing themselves from the ecosystem.

This was the missing piece! I'm glad we can finally put this wordpress drama behind us now.

This is just sad at this point.

pulls the mask off “we” and “our”

It was Matt Mullenweg all along

I hope Matt gets the psychological help he needs. However, the fact that people like Nicholas Garofalo are enabling his behavior through proxy blog posts like this, instead of helping him realize that, even if he was right at one point, he went completely off the rails somewhere along the way, will only make his upcoming reality check that much harsher. Good luck, Matt. Really.
