I think some WP Plugins are in the works. The short version would be that AP would mean you could get the benefits of both having an RSS Feed and a Comment Section without having to run either as a seperate plugin. If WP had an AP Plugin, people could follow your blog from their Mastodon Account or Plume or any other platform that allows following. They can share and like your blog and that gets federated back, you get those directly to your blog. People can respond to your blog and it would show up as comments and they could discuss it off and on your blog. Though I don#t think AP is panacea, I do think it could enable a lot of interop between previously disconnected platforms.
