@pfefferle I look forward to seeing this federated future! Ironically, the main reason I signed up with @wordpressdotcom was because of the #ActivityPub plugin.

I think with a few tweaks, #WordPress could become the super app within the #Fediverse.

I do hope the #BuddyPress & #bbPress teams jump on board, as greater ActivityPub integration could help rejuvenate these social WordPress “projects” (as they would provide competitive balance against #Facebook & #Reddit).

As both a Fediverse and a #WordPress developer, I fully agree with Darnell on #BuddyPress and #bbPress being WordPress tech that should integrate ActivityPub ASAP!

Me too! Great point @darnell and encouraging to hear that BuddyPress is looking at it.

@darnell @wordpressdotcom @tchambers I would assume that bbpress already works out of the box, simply activate all the bbpress custom post types in the AP settings.

An ironically I had a discussion with the BuddyPress team yesterday 🙂

let's see how this turns out... BuddyPress will be a really big task!

@darnell @pfefferle 40 bucks a month for a business plan so I can federate my blog? No thanks. I'll just link to it.

@farbel @pfefferle Welcome to the #Fediverse…again! 😂 #ActivityPub support is available for all @wordpressdotcom plans. The only major difference is that I can change my username handle for my #WordPress blogs.

@darnell @pfefferle Thanks! So cool. I am an intermittent blogger these days, but it will be nice to get a bit more exposure for my longer fomat stuff.

@farbel @pfefferle To each their own, but after comparing @wordpressdotcom plans to less expensive rivals (yes, even #WPEngine—before the crazy drama), I realized that I am paying for 24/7 customer service, world class security & unrestricted bandwidth (no limitation on site visitors). Latter is key in case a major #Threads or #Flipboard account links to your blog! 😆

It is also a way to give back to the #WordPress community by supporting a creator’s platform.
