#MattMullenweg is invited to respond. I started a second ticket for his support team but did not want to overload them.

You see, having to read about subjects like #rape, #trauma, and #felony offenses can be really difficult for employees.

Statistically, it is almost certain that some of them know people who have been through this:

I'm going to wait a week before email the #Wordpress support staff about this a second time. Hoping by then the matter will be fixed.

"WordPress.com sites now have an easier way to integrate with the Fediverse, including Mastodon. Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, Tumblr and other web publishing tools, is the new owner of the ActivityPub for WordPress plugin and has also recruited its developer to come work for the company, according to Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg."

On Twitter #MattMullenweg just reaffirmed that #ActivityPub or #Fediverse support for #Tumblr is absolutely in active development now, planned for next year.

This is a really good interview between Nilay Patel (of The Verge) and Matt Mullenweg about Matt's experiences running Tumblr.

Listening to Matt speak always reminds me that there are really good people with good perspectives on social media and content moderation.

"Do you know the saying, 'There are no atheists in foxholes'? I think that there’s no #FreeSpeechAbsolutists who run #SocialNetworks, because you start to realize the nuance of that #PublicSquare and the responsibilities to the users and society, and the fact that it’s a lot messier." -#Tumblr CEO #MattMullenweg (#WordPress, #Automattic, etc)

It's a long & somewhat rambling interview but it's a fascinating peek into the mind of #WordPress's founder & Tumblr's current CEO. Gives you a good idea why he's pushing Tumblr's #ActivityPub integration.
