MODERATORS
I saw someone a few months ago whose blog could be subscribed to like a Lemmy community and replies in Lemmy would show up as comments, but I think that was a Wordpress thing.

There have been 2.5 million WordPress posts pushed to ActivityPub. The engagement on this is near zero, but it is happening.
The MAU number is complete BS. Most of these users don't even know the WP instance they are logging into gives them a federated presence. Logging into WP makes the use active in the endpoint used to share data with https://fedidb.org/software/wordpress
I assume it would be easy to write such a plugin for whatever blog platform you use.
@[email protected] I was just discussing how to add NodeBB comments to Drupal in https://community.nodebb.org/post/103485
Fuck. Don't do this.
Twitter comments were never the basis for articles and mastodon comments aren't either. (Exceptions would be official sources. I am bitching about random comments from 420biscuitFucker69 showing that social media is BLOWING UP about pointless issues, which make up about 80% of all embedded tweets.)
Why not? It needs some moderation but it's better than any general disquss-like solution imho.
