Can't deny being made up that three months after 1st trying to build a #WordPress site using @pfefferle's #ActivityPub plugin - yesterday it finally clicked, with two posts getting lots of boosts, stars & comments:

Am still far from perfecting the integration, but this bar at the bottom is lovely… as is discovering a bunch of servers using different forks/UIs to regular Masto that I've not seen before. Curiously still only one subscriber tho.

So all the world’s politicians post on X, except Trump and Modi, who post on a Mastodon fork 🙃

USA's #Maxar isn't just cutting off classified satellite imagery to #Ukraine, but commercial unclassified services. How long until Starlink follows?

I'm not sure if the White House has thought thru the signal this is sending the world:

If you use American tech, cloud or telecoms, it can be turned off on a whim *while you're being invaded & bombed* to strongarm your country to sign a deal you don't want.

Imagine how many govts are currently frantically trying to migrate away from US services.

The #SocialWebFoundation launches into an ecosystem where transparent budgeting thru #OpenCollective has become normalised. Bringing together everyone from Meta and Automattic to Mastodon and Pixelfed in New Thing might gain more trust if there was similar transparency about who was paying in what, and what was being paid out (or to declare an intention to do that) because it shows the interests of partners.

For eg #socialcoop’s fully transparent budget & balance sheet: https://opencollective.com/socialcoop.

Finally properly testing @pfefferle's #WordPress / Fediverse integration and genuinely impressed at how smoothly it works. Not only basic posting, from multiple users, each with their own @name@blog.example handle – but commenting from my masto client onto the blog, and replies from the blog back to the fediverse. It's so good I no longer know why every WordPress blog doesn't implement it beyond a) it took me this long; b) the blog seems a little slower? Am curious if there's new resource demands.
