One more tidbit from The Repository’s coverage of the #WordPress layoffs at Automattic:
“95% of those let go were age 40 or over.”
The Repository · Automattic Cuts 16% of Workforce in Latest Round of Layoffs Amid Legal and Internal TurmoilAutomattic has laid off 16% of its global workforce — around 280 people — in a move that came without warning and hit employees across 90 countries on Wednesday.
Last year I talked about why those in #WordPress have a responsibility to not bring new people in who risk the ire of Matt’s whims. Taco and Joost aren’t new to WordPress but this post of Taco’s talking about how they’ve been banned, does a great job of illustrating the danger of relying on a dying ecosystem for a living and why the “community” crowd around it can be so very dangerous. https://progressplanner.com/real-impact-of-being-banned-from-wordpress/
Progress Planner · The Real Impact of a WordPress BanJoost de Valk and Progress Planner got banned from WordPress, and that's a big deal. And we shouldn’t allow ourselves to normalize it.

I wonder how realistic (as in convenient and usable) to run a Fediverse instance that's actually just a WordPress installation with the ActivityPub plugin.
Has anyone tried?
I understand that it may not be the best way to proceed (as WordPress wasn't designed for this) but it could bean easy way to introduce people like me (long time WordPress users but not tech people) to running their own Fediverse instances.

I guess no multilanguage #WordPress soon. All those good people 
I can’t say I’m surprised to see this with #WordPress in decline but I really do feel for those folks affected. https://automattic.com/2025/04/02/restructuring-announcement/

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.

Can someone please remind me why deleting #WordPress was discussed so much on here a couple of months ago? It was more than an #infosec issue, right? There were ethico-political issues too? I’ve searched past posts and can’t find anything. Thanks.
Very exciting news about #Ghost, the blogging software I use for my website, beta testing their new social web integration! Activating it enables direct interaction with blogs on #Wordpress and soon #Tumblr, #Mastodon and the whole #Fediverse, as well as #BlueSky and #Threads according to their changelog:
