This is how they're going to federate, I guess?


But then? WHat about those Porn contents? All eliminated or what? I think Wordpress does not accept Porn realted contents?


Seems like this is the last news about Tumblr ever. Can I reuse the "tumblr" name for a similar startup but with different everything?


Just wait until Automattic acquires Blogger and switches that to WP.


Cool. After all Wordpress is very performant and secure /s


Third party plugins make an up-to-date WP install insecure. I think Core WordPress is probably more battle tested than any other framework. One could argue the core should protect against bad plugins, but a secure plugin API would mean a non-functional API.
