> WordPress This isn’t quite true. WordPress.com announced they were planning on ActivityPub support, but that is a separate entity run by a commercial company (Automattic). Their plan was to support it specifically on Tumblr, as well as helping fund an open source plugin for it; there have been no plans to integrate it into the WordPress software directly. I believe they’ve also deprioritised it as they did significant layoffs recently.

What do you mean? WordPress already supports ActivityPub through their plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ I follow a few blogs on Mastodon just fine (for example John Carlos Baez's Azimuth, https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/ https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/), it's just like an RSS reader in your timeline.
