Gregory's Server@pfefferle congratulations!
Would you mind giving an example of what is bidirectional comments means in this case? Does that mean that originate from the wordpress blog itself?

@pfefferle @laurenshof That is wonderful, so you don't need an extra ActivityPub account to reply to your blog post's comment. I bet it will be easier to track the comment with this feature. But I wonder for blog visitor that do not have ActivityPub account how it will handled?  > That is wonderful, so you don't need an extra ActivityPub account to reply to your blog post's comment. exactly! > But I wonder for blog visitor that do not have ActivityPub account how it will handled? That's a tricky one, because they have no real profile... we can try to give them a temporary, but we have to get sure that we do not run into a GDPR issue here. @pfefferle @laurenshof I think the default WP comment also retains some information about the visitor who commented on the blog, so it should be no problem, right? Or, to make everything easier, you have to make an announcement on the blog that if the visitor wants to comment, they must have an ActivityPub account. So you don't need to care about the visitor information at all The only problem now is the old comments on the blog, it is the only thing that hinders me from installing to old blog > Or, to make everything easier, you have to make an announcement on the blog that if the visitor wants to comment, they must have an ActivityPub account. So you don't need to care about the visitor information at all that's not that easy, because even if they have a fediverse account, I can not post something in favour of someone from the blog, so I have to direct them to there platform to comment and that might be a bad UX. @pfefferle aha, I thought you already implemented the "remote comment" like on the Mastodon. Now I am really curious and want to test it myself on my test blog. But thank you for your work, it progressed a lot from the last time I tested the plugin. :goodjob: @aku oh nice! this (the `http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe` URL) is also working for post URLs, I thought this is limited to profiles! thanks for mentioning it, this should be a really nice and simple extension! > I think the default WP comment also retains some information about the visitor who commented on the blog, so it should be no problem, right? Yes, but I have to make sure that the user can either opt-in/opt-out from federation or at least create the awareness that all comments will be federated... otherwise I have a GDPR problem...  @pfefferle awesome, thanks for the explanation. This is super helpful for me in how I use the plugin |
@laurenshof if When you respond to comments from the fediverse on your blog, they will now be federated. This allows you to finally engage in (threaded) communication back and forth directly from the comment section of your blog!
(Limitation: you have to have an account on the blog)
