Matt Mullenweg at the State of the Word, covers a lot of ground of WordPress developers, including the new ActivityPub plugin that powers all the Fediblogs we note here: 34 minutes in: (This was an answer to a question I submitted asking about the ActivtyPub plugin strategy and it’s potentially becoming a “Cannonical Plugin”)… Matt’s answer below:
“There are two great plugins around the Fediverse or Open Social Web. One is called ActivityPub…ActivityPub has been upgraded to be a Community Plugin….We have launched it and made it available on WordPress.com. And actually that team is going to be working next on bringing it to Tumblr. So Tumblr – we are going to explore it joining Fediverse.
So for it as a Cannonical Plugin? For me Canonical plugins are more for things that we feel like are in the critical path. So being a Community plugins – in the taxonomy of plugins – that means it kinda belongs to everyone, it will never have a pro version or a commercial version and the maintenance can be shared, so it’s open to contributions.
The ActivityPub plugin only has like 5,000 installs so far…so it might be something we consider incorporating or promoting more if it gets more usage….so obviously we need to grow that or just the Fediverse needs to grow more, for it to be something more people need to be interested in.”

@fediblogs.wordpress.com just made a WordPress blog the other day because the outlook for tumblr didn’t look good, but now maybe I’ll be ready to jump to tumblr as it hits more of the platform I was looking for 👀

@fediblogs.wordpress.com @pfefferle I am going to use it on the new blog I'm creating, hosted elsewhere – but my main one is on Siteground and -at least a couple months ago- activitypub didn't work properly. Having Fediverse on Tumblr? Would be wonderful! And give endless possibilities to anyone. For example using fediverse accessibility-friendly clients as Tumblr is a bit tricky

No, there is no Need for Growth just for the sake of it.If there is anything like Growth in or for the Fediverse, it is Organic Growth, so slow and steady in it's own pace without the need of winning anything.
When you "need" Growth to be something you worship in Life, you might better look elsewhere…🙄😉
