The irony of Wordpress, the self-described guardian of the open web, causing anyone who gives a shit to pull down their old Tumblrs and blogs to avoid getting sucked into the AI bullshit machine, is really something.
I try not to talk shit about former employers, but this is just too big to stay silent on.
You’re fucking up, Wordpress. You’re fucking up BAD.
@fraying It's worth also noting that wordpress.com federates via ActivityPub, so can federate with Mastodon and anything else federated in this way.
I guess I have yet another new block to add.
(and yes, looking at my instance's federation, there's tons of wordpress in there)
@bedast does this mean that they have content from the fediverse on their servers that they could sell too?
@fraying @bedast Not an expert on their implementation, but from the description, they probably only have content that came from directly interacting with a wordpress.com-hosted blog, e.g. fediverse likes and replies / comments.
Since the WordPress plugin is more for broadcasting content to the fediverse and less for consuming it (i.e. can't "follow" from your WP blog), their data collection is probably limited to that at the moment.
