Many are probably familiar with how unfriendly the #Fediverse / #Mastodon is to non-white cultures.
In my opinion, if you really care about wiping out Fediverse white supremacy with actions and not just empty words... you should be following ALL https://TurtleIsland.social moderators and admins.

Wow, dude. I'm not white, and I've yet to be treated in an unfriendly way due to my skin color over the past 3 years.
Ya know, you run into an unfriendly person now and then. But when everyone is being unfriendly to you, maybe it's not them. 🤔

@NuclearOatmeal
Maybe you need to read up on Fediverse history before you make (incorrect) assumptions that how you are treated is the norm. Geez...Bluesky is filled with BIPOC Mastodon refugees for example...
Your comment is a textbook typical white-assed comment regardless of who you are:

Every major version is a milestone, and 8.0.0 is no exception. Your WordPress blog just became a two-way street in the Fediverse. Visitors can like and boost your posts directly on your site. Media from federated replies is handled more reliably, and new block patterns make it easy to drop ActivityPub features into your pages.
Like and Boost, Right From Your BlogThe Fediverse Reactions block now has optional Like and Boost action buttons, inline with each reaction group. When a visitor clicks one, a modal opens where they can enter their Fediverse handle or copy the post URL to interact from their home server.
The plugin remembers the visitor’s profile in their browser, so the second time around it’s even faster. And for folks who aren’t familiar with how the Fediverse works, each modal now includes a collapsible “Why do I need to enter my profile?” help section that explains the open social web in plain language.
This dramatically lowers the friction for cross-platform engagement.
Block Patterns and TemplatesSetting up a Fediverse-ready profile page used to mean manually assembling Follow Me, Extra Fields, and Followers blocks. Not anymore.
We’ve added a “Fediverse” block pattern category with four pre-configured layouts:
Author Profile with Follow, a compact profile card.Fediverse Follow Page, a full-page follow experience.Author Header with Follow, great for author archive headers.Fediverse Sidebar, drop it into any sidebar or widget area.If you’re running a block theme on WordPress 6.7+, there’s also a new Author Archive (Fediverse) block theme template ready to go.
Publish Smarter With Post Format SuggestionsA new pre-publish panel now analyzes your post content and suggests an appropriate post format when your object type is set to “Post Format.” Got a post that’s mostly images? It’ll nudge you toward the Image format. A video post? Video format.
This matters because media-focused Fediverse platforms like Pixelfed and Vernissage display Notes differently than Articles, so choosing the right format means your content looks its best everywhere it lands.
Community SnippetsWe’ve added a snippets/ folder to the GitHub repository, a home for lightweight, community-contributed extensions that don’t belong in the core plugin but are too useful to lose. The first batch includes:
FediBlog Tag, automatically adds #FediBlog to standard blog posts for better Fediverse discovery.Locale from Tags, derives post locale from taxonomy tags.Bot Account, marks your profile as automated and displays a “BOT” badge in the Fediverse.Blockless ActivityPub, renders Fediverse reactions as pure server-side HTML, no JS required.Photon CDN, serves cached remote media through Jetpack’s Photon CDN for faster delivery.Got a snippet of your own? Check out the snippets folder and send a PR.
Smarter Media CachingUnder the hood, we’ve rebuilt how the plugin handles remote media, avatars, emoji, images, audio, and video from across the Fediverse. Instead of importing everything into the WordPress Media Library at insert time, media is now wrapped in custom blocks and cached lazily at render time.
What does that mean for you? Faster processing of incoming content, less disk usage, and better rendering of audio and video attachments. Original remote URLs are preserved in block attributes, so caches can be regenerated without data loss. If you’re using Jetpack’s Site Accelerator, that works too, the new system is built filter-first.
For site admins, there are new CLI commands to keep things tidy:
wp activitypub cache statuswp activitypub cache clearMinimum PHP 7.4With WordPress 7.0 deprecating PHP 7.2 and 7.3, we’ve raised the minimum requirement to PHP 7.4. This lets us clean up compatibility polyfills and use more modern PHP features going forward. If you’re still on an older version, update your PHP before updating the plugin.
ChangelogAddedAdd a help section to interaction dialogs explaining the Fediverse and why entering a profile is needed.Add a notice on the Settings page to easily switch from legacy template mode to automatic mode.Add a pre-publish suggestion that recommends a post format for better compatibility with media-focused Fediverse platforms.Add a Site Health check that warns when plugins are causing too many federation updates.Add backwards compatibility for the ACTIVITYPUB_DISABLE_SIDELOADING constant and activitypub_sideloading_enabled filter from version 7.9.1.Add bot account snippet that marks ActivityPub profiles as automated accounts, displaying a “BOT” badge on Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms.Add Cache namespace for remote media caching with CLI commands, improved MIME validation, and filter-based architecture.Add federation of video poster images set in the WordPress video block.Add Locale from Tags community snippet.Add optional Like and Boost action buttons to the Fediverse Reactions block, allowing visitors to interact with posts from their own server.Add pre-built Fediverse block patterns for easy profile, follow page, and sidebar setup.Add snippet for blockless fediverse reactions.Add wp activitypub fetch CLI command for fetching remote URLs with signed HTTP requests.ChangedImproved active user counting for NodeInfo to include all federated content types and comments.Improve language map resolution to strictly follow the ActivityStreams spec.Superseded outbox activities are now removed instead of kept, reducing clutter in the outbox.The minimum required PHP version is now 7.4.FixedAccept incoming activities from servers that use standalone key objects for HTTP Signatures.Fix a crash on servers where WordPress uses FTP instead of direct file access for media caching.Fix a crash when receiving posts from certain federated platforms that send multilingual content.Fix automatic cleanup of old activities failing silently on sites with large numbers of outbox, inbox, or remote post items.Fix comment count to properly exclude likes, shares, and notes.Fix follow button redirect from Mastodon not being recognized.Fix modal overlay not covering the full screen on block themes.Fix outbox invalidation canceling pending Accept/Reject responses to QuoteRequests for the same post.Fix QuoteRequest handler to derive responding actor from post author instead of inbox recipient.Fix reactions block buttons inheriting theme background color on classic themes.Fix reactions block layout on small screens and remove unwanted button highlight when clicking action buttons.Fix signature verification rejecting valid requests that use lowercase algorithm names in the Digest header.Fix soft-deleted posts being served instead of a tombstone when the post is re-saved.Improve compatibility with federated services that use a URL reference for the actor’s public key.Improve handling of all public audience identifiers when sending activities to followers and relays.Prevent private recipient lists from being shared when sending activities to other servers.Get ItDownload from WordPress.org or grab it on GitHub. Remember to check your PHP version first — 7.4 or higher is now required.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed code, testing, bug reports, and ideas to this release. Special thanks to @kraft, @jeremy, and @futtta for their snippet contributions.

Glad to see attention is being put on it.Mastodon needs can easy link for websites to add.

hopefully calling it fediverse, otherwise it risk sounds like my grannie saying internet explorer when she means the web.
-
@kevinrns @grimjfoot @HennaVirkkunen
It could be enough to make a link to this or to a EU hosted page about what is Fediverse and how to join it.
And, mixing up the Fediverse with a platform (Mastodon) should be avoided. I'm on Friendica and it's Fediverse too.
-
@grimjfoot @EUCommission @EC_DIGIT @HennaVirkkunen
A lot of the reason is there's no easy link to mastodon.
-
Yes! And remove X while you're at it.
-
The #EuropeanCommission and other #EU institutions have been present on #Mastodon for some time.
However, there is still no reference to #fediverse #socialmedia on European institutional websites, while the traditional ones are still present.
Why not update these pages, highlighting an ethical policy choice?
