Ooofff! I am a little late to the game on this, but I just realized that my #WordPress blog is #ActivityPub enabled (including mentions within the post)—several months ago! 😂

I was using #WriteFreely so much I forgot that WordPress was an option.

Belated props to @jeremy for reminding me of this!

Also thanks to @pfefferle for all of the hard work.

I guess that makes 3 Fediverse blogging platforms available now.

One more step towards WordPress being a full-fledged ActivityPub client!

@darnell wait so what are you using then? Wordpress or Writefreely?

@santim I will use both! 😁

@santim I intend to use #WriteFreely as a “rough draft” or a distraction free blogging platform while #WordPress is much more for polished blogging (especially since I can use https://Grammarly.com within WordPress).

@darnell Why do you use a platform as a "rough draft"? As an online security copy? Why not write offline (whatever this means nowadays) and then post to Wordpress?

I ask because I want to start blogging/writing/publishing and found Wordpress to be a bit overkill in merely setting up a small blog.

Would love to know your thoughts!

@santim The hardest part about writing (or rather typing) is getting started. The second hardest part is finishing.

The beauty of #WriteFreely is that I do not have to worry about categories, tags, social networking stats, etcetera. I can just type out a post.

If I want something more polished & presentable, I will use #WordPress.
