So our Fediverse Spring is going to come to a sad end from the unlikeliest of sources: WordPress. There are two items of importance mentioned in this article. The first and most obvious: WordPress paid newsletters. The second has been covered previously but shows up again here: "parent company Automattic recently acquired an ActivityPub plugin that blog owners could use to join the Fediverse, posting their updates directly to Mastodon." It will never be as bad as the platform social media, but it can be pretty bad, with Fediverse spam rivaled only by the email variety. It should go without saying that no WordPress link requiring a subscription will be found in this newsletter.
