Project Hardfork

Declaration of Independence from WordPress

We, the undersigned, believe in a future where open-source software remains truly community-owned and driven. Today, we are taking a stand to create a new path forward by hard forking WordPress, a platform that has served many well but is no longer aligned with the values of a genuinely decentralized and transparent community.

Why a Hard Fork?

WordPress has grown into a powerful tool, but its leadership and governance have become increasingly disconnected from the people who rely on it. Decisions affecting the platform are too often made without broad community involvement, prioritizing corporate interests over those of developers, creators, and users. We believe there’s a better way.

Our Vision

• A non-profit, community-driven platform, owned and governed by its users.
• Transparent, open governance that invites contributions and decision-making from the entire community.
• A commitment to sustainability and independence, free from corporate control or undue influence.

What Will Change?

This hard fork will enable us to prioritize the needs of the people who build, use, and depend on open-source software. Together, we will foster innovation, openness, and growth without compromising our core values.

We are creating a platform that remains true to the original spirit of open source, where everyone has a voice and no one is left behind. With this, we will build a future that works for all of us.
