An update about #WordPress :
If you have a WP blog, people can follow your blog account and interact with your blog posts from Mastodon etc. More info at https://fedi.tips/wordpress-turning-your-blog-into-a-fediverse-server
The latest version of WP's Fediverse support introduces migration of Mastodon posts onto WordPress blogs as WP posts. (See thread at https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle/114263501158396609)
BUT unfortunately WP's largest developer's CEO has been behaving, um... unusually 😞 It's still unclear how this will resolve, it may be that a fork takes over.
WTF is this ? Has someone any explanation.
> As I [Matt Mullenweg] said, we’re dropping all the human blocks. Community guidelines, directory guidelines, and such will need to be followed going forward, but whatever blocks were in place before are now cleared. It may take a few days, but any pre-existing blocks are considered bugs to be fixed.
