Who's Festinger exactly?

Click to expand...

Festinger is likely a reference to Leon Festinger (1919–1989), a renowned American social psychologist best known for developing the theory of cognitive dissonance. This theory suggests that people experience psychological discomfort when they hold conflicting beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, motivating them to reduce the dissonance by changing their beliefs, attitudes, or actions.

Festinger also contributed to the field of social psychology through his social comparison theory, which explores how individuals evaluate their own opinions and abilities by comparing themselves to others.

If you're referring to someone or something else by "Festinger," let me know, and I can clarify further!

Never knew about him either so i've learned something today.

Because he knows WordPress is about to die and it's not even worth bringing the service back

You are probably not aware of some of the legal stuff he is dealing with but it is a legal deal that has him handcuffed, not an interest in not continuing his business and serving his clients.

Fair enough. I still think WordPress is going to die real soon, regardless of what this Festinger's situation here is.

Enlighten us!

Here's the latest statement from him:

Don't judge the guy, for whatever he's doing, that's not harming you,
Whatever is the reason (legal, moral, personal, marketing, ...),
Best of luck Deleted member 752298

I was 1 click away from reporting the post,
Checked the profile real quick and doesn't seem like one of the AI bots,
Looks more like OP warmed up the account and time to use AI

to be honest, man, there are changes coming in every aspect of our lives. They might not happen today, or this year, but they WILL happen. And they're necessary because we (the entire mankind) are making the transition towards a better future, a future of true, real, actual freedom and happiness and wealth (not material wealth necessary, although I suspect money will still be around for a little more while, but a wealth of self improvement and bettering ourselves as humans, and better our environment and planet as a true, real Paradise of clean breathable air, of clean sparkling waters, of rich, luxurious greenery and sceneries. and so on) and these changes can't catch on without us ridding ourselves of the shackles of the past, otherwise we would suffer. It's like we will be forcefully upgraded in every aspect of our life, and technology will inevitably be one of the upgrades. I think in 10 years maximum none of the corporations (big and small) will continue existing, and everything that serves and improves life will be community-based and free and open source...

With regards to Wordpress, specifically, I am not sure that it will die (as in, it will stop existing) by the end of this year, it might linger on for 5-10 more years, but more and more people (including myself) are moving away from WP for the same reason I have moved away from "modern" video games, or from "modern" movies... from "modern" entertainment in general. Everything is full of anti-human agenda and / or - in the case of Wordpress - of unnecessarily complicated stuff. If you have 10 sites on Wordpress nowadays with even 10-12 plugins installed onto each site you have to update them almost daily, either update Wordpress itself or the plugins. Updates on top of updates on top of more updates every day.... and that Gutenberg shit and the "blocks" (whatever this retarded concept is) gives an aged, classy and non-techy webmaster like myself real head scratches.

Instead of making things simple,. intuitive, free, fast and clean (just like the human brain likes things to be), everything is getting more niche-y, more exclusive, and more complicated. its like the entire human race had gone insane and can't do things properly to save their lives

Anyway, I don't necessarily wish Wordpress to die as I'm not building sites anymore so it doesn't affect me anymore but I, too, think that Wordpress' time is over. But like I said, I don't see it happening this year... or even next year, but I give it maximum 10 years (although 5-6 years most likely) for Wordpress to be history...

To this thread's topic, I voted #3 as I feel this is the real reason he's not saying anything yet...

I know he might in in some legal battles why Doesn't OP chill and wait an update from him.Legal battles can take some long time.

Not really. You're making half the posts about all this.

I don't know the guy personaly, but he seems a nice person, I know he sometimes rent mansions to @RoiBox & Remi for their "funny" businesses.

I've read somewhere he has legal troubles, I hope he gets safe through all that, whatever he decides to do with his business, I wish him luck.

Sure thing, everything will die eventually, including humankind & the earth itself, it is just a matter of how long things will last,
Everything is relative, but people stating that certain things will die soon, when in reality is far from being the case,
You can start as a new beginner in any of these stuff and still make a whole life journey before they die, it's still too soon to adapt for the change,
No one really knows how things will change, no one is certain at least,
It's way better to be ready to adapt to changes rather than just giving up on things that do work currently and taking part in the screen,

WP is the easiest and most commonly used CMS with tons of plugins/themes, wide support, frequent updates, translation, guides, etc...
There's nothing critical making it die anytime soon, it's used by 40% of the websites, and that's a HUGE number relative to the overall number,
There's no CMS nearly as popular as it is, none is getting the same features for the majority of cases for sure,
Some could pop up anytime in the future (5-10) years, but nothing is stopping it for now
