"The announcement also raises questions about what this means for #Tumblr’s integration with the #opensocialweb, known as the fediverse. By migrating its infrastructure to #WordPress, it would have become a #federatedapp. #Mullenweg admits that was one of the arguments for making the move, but hints that it’s no longer a priority.
“…in the meantime, I think if there was a big push to implement fediverse, we would just do it on the Tumblr code base,” he said."

TechCrunch · Automattic puts Tumblr migration to WordPress on hold | TechCrunchAutomattic CEO Matt Mullenweg confirmed that the company is no longer working on migrating its Tumblr blogging platform to WordPress, as previously announced.

Man kann ein Publikum auch ohne LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook & Co. erreichen, wenn man ein wenig Arbeit in unabhängige Lösungen steckt.

Derzeit kursieren wieder Meldungen, dass diesmal bei Facebook Organisationen ihre Business-Pages verlieren. Offenbar passen deren Inhalte Mark Zuckerberg nicht mehr ins Konzept. Website-Betreiber berichten, dass ihr Traffic von Google zusammenbricht. Die ehemalige Suchmaschine lässt stattdessen ihre KI fantasieren.

Rise and Fall of Grassroots #OpenWeb

To understand where the #Fediverse and the #OpenSocialWeb are heading, and how not to lose our way, we need to reflect on where we’ve come from. The history of grassroots #openweb activism offers both inspiration and hard lessons.Foundations are built by real people, social movements start local, they begin with people on the margins – those directly affected by injustice – taking action with the tools they have. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, tech projects like #Indymedia were the […]

"I want to go much further. I think #WordPress has all that's needed to be the OS of the #opensocialweb. We needed it and it's always been there, and I saw something that I want to show everyone else, that the web can grow from here, we should build on everything that the WordPress community has created.
