Interesting. WordPress and Ghost now make up more than half of all fediverse servers. (Not in terms of number of accounts, just a server count.)

#fediverse

Also, did we celebrate one billion fediverse posts having been made? I might have missed that!

@stefan technically they are fedi servers but in practice I would count them as interconnected softwares, not actual part of the fediverse.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@tsadilas @stefan isn't that exactly what the Fediverse is, though? Interconnected software sitting the same language. I'd say WordPress and Ghost have more if a right to be considered part of the Fediverse than, say, BS or even Threads, as some people want.

[tsadilas@libretooth.gr]

@oblomov @stefan I don't disagree. But they are not social media though. And thus not representative of fediverse usage as a social media alternative.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@tsadilas @stefan ah, I see what you mean. I guess for WordPress it's a matter of perspective though, blogs were considered THE social media in their heydays. (Ghost is probably a different matter, still.)

[bovaz@misskey.social]

@oblomov@sociale.network @tsadilas@libretooth.gr @stefan@stefanbohacek.online of course it's semantics, but the fact that someone, from their blogs, can automatically output a stream that can be followed and interacted with "here" should be a big "selling point". It's a major "ease of use" thing that could bring a lot more stuff to the fediverse.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@bovaz @stefan @tsadilas indeed. And for WordPress, the fact that you can e.g. comment on a WP article from the rest of the Fediverse really drives the “shared social network” concept. And IIRC they are working on making the integration even tighter (esp. in the other direction).

I'm not familiar enough with Ghost's integration to comment on that though.
