  I know this exists. As does NextCloud. But what solution or use-case does it serve? I honestly cannot see it. Neither for WP nor for NC. ActivityPub is -aside from a protocol- something that is designed for social networking mostly. How does "adding a WP plugin" help? Why would I want to connect my blog or website to this fediverse? Is it just so people can get my blogposts in their timeline? Because that's the only use-case I can see, and that problem is easily solved with RSS (and a bot).

    I don't know how Wordpress or NextCloud uses it, but for my own use I'm considering building a comment system for my sites around in, on the basis that having comments about my posts exposed to the fediverse seems like a good way of increasing reach. (there's the challenge of length; there's no problem upping the post-length for comments etc., but many instances will reject them, so you do face the issue of having to replace the body of longer comments with a link to a page, which is sub-optimal but doable)

  Wordpress have same problem of being slow POS that in addition needs to be constantly updated for security issues. Hell, we even got one of our clients (we just provided hosting for some of their stuff) getting half-hacked while setting it up (they were not exactly the developer type). Half-hacked because we required app-to-internet traffic to be ran by proxy so the final payload didn't get downloaded on the server, hilariously enough.
