If this is true then only @wordpressdotcom would receive updates while the rest of the #WordPress community withers.

👉🏾 @photomatt Considers Delaying WordPress Releases Through 2027 searchenginejournal.com/mullen

I am not a lawyer or time traveler, but from Matt’s odd statements, it appears that #WPEngine may actually win their lawsuit against #Automattic.

Matt on the other hand is “cutting off his nose to spite his face” with these measures, which is baffling honestly.

Search Engine Journal · Mullenweg Considers Delaying WordPress Releases Through 2027Leaked Slack chat shows Matt Mullenweg considering delaying WordPress releases until late 2027, citing reduced corporate contributions

Any ActivityPub/Wordpress wizards out there? When I post a blog to AP and people like or boost it on Mastodon and other places, I need to manually accept those interactions from the Wordpress interface. I can understand comments need to be accepted to avoid spam on the blog. But what's the purpose of the other stuff? #Wordpress #ActivityPub #Automattic

@ricmac Interestingly, Tumblr seems headed to the fediverse.
That may make it more attractive.
After Tumblr's disastrous experience with Yahoo and Verizon, it has done a bit better under Automattic.

"#Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every #Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via #ActivityPub…the migration could also allow for other #openweb integrations, like giving Tumblr users a way to run other custom plug-ins or themes.
Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the #migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”

This needs to be shared widely:

#WhitehouseWash
My change-detection just caught something big:
dei.gov got registered around one week ago - for some days it was empty.
Than a long list appeared, which quickly got password-protected; see screenshots.

It lists short bullet-points about 'wasteful' governmental spending, looks like a list to justify their actions (and what may be to come)

"Since 2022, blogging site Tumblr has been teasing its plans to integrate with the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others."

📰 "Od 2022 roku serwis blogowy #Tumblr zapowiadał swoje plany integracji z #fediverse - otwartą siecią społecznościową opartą na protokole #ActivityPub używanym również przez #Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard i inne. Teraz platforma blogowa należąca do #Automattic udostępnia więcej informacji o tym, kiedy i jak ta integracja może faktycznie nastąpić.

Jak się okazuje, obecny plan powiązania Tumblr z otwartą siecią społecznościową zostanie zrealizowany poprzez planowane przeniesienie witryny do infrastruktury WordPress.

Automattic potwierdził TechCrunch, że po zakończeniu migracji każdy użytkownik Tumblr będzie mógł połączyć swojego bloga za pośrednictwem ActivityPub, tak jak każdy użytkownik #WordPress.com może to zrobić dzisiaj."
