The revolutionary ActivityPub feature is now available across all WordPress.com plans, unlocking a world of engagement and interaction for your blog. Your blogs can now be part of the rapidly expanding fediverse, which enables you to connect with a broader audience and attract more followers.
@kreynen@rachel_norfolk@swentel According to FediDB, ~47K users on 2,737 WP sites have already published 3mil posts to the fediverse. I can't get over the feeling that the #Drupal community is just watching the type of innovation all our development retooling was intended make easier. Instead of embracing new "off the island" technologies, we're talking about new policies for the Drupal Planet RSS feed aggregation to discourage low quality and/or AI generated content. https://fedidb.org/current-events/wordpress
@kreynen@swentel@rachel_norfolk@kreynen Might also have something todo with the changed focus of the drupal project. It's target audience is shifted from enthusiastic tinkerers to larger enterprise styled projects. And most of those businesses have no clue that there is a Fediverse let alone are willing to invest in it.
@renebakx@kreynen@swentel@rachel_norfolk Fair, but there is a large and active part of the Drupal community working on .edu sites where we ARE aware of the shift from enshittifiable (sp?) platforms to federated. Mastodon links are popping up in site footers like https://www.colorado.edu/lab/medlab/ before we officially support it. Hoping to see more of that as CMS updates include support and people ask where these Xs came from during the "down" time when higher ed content/design refreshes typically happen
@kreynen@kreynen@rachel_norfolk@swentel That's good too hear. Here in the Netherlands most of our clients are dropping X and focus mainly on the Meta products. Even the non profit, educational and the workingat... ones.
