Haven’t even started testing the WordPress ActivityPub plugin yet… and an AT Protocol one (Bluesky + standard site) is already popping up. We’re living in an interesting moment! 😯

Curious if both can coexist on the same WordPress site 👀 https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-atmosphere

@mhussard Well, you can transform your own WordPress site (with Activitypub plug-in) into an instance of the Fediverse and Bridge this to Bluesky (which silently received 100m from crypto tech last April). Host yourself (website + Fediverse), cross-sharing 2nd.

@NickBohle And yes I saw it about the Series B funding. In any case, there’s no such thing as a miracle. Nothing has been put in place to make it economically viable for them, so the money has to come from somewhere. Nothing is free.

But it's surprising that they're delaying the announcement, given how Bluesky has been built “morally”.

@mhussard Well, they made the announcement after the CEO change. And Toni Schneider is ok for me. But what is the return of investment for the crypto boys? I prefer self-hosting.

@NickBohle Perhaps the ATProto development? Actually, what bothers me the most isn't the investor.. It's that we didn't announce it sooner. About self-hosting, I'm agree with you.
