Replies appear to work, too: “In addition, replies to your posts from these platforms are automatically turned into comments on your WordPress blog, creating a more interactive and dynamic conversation around your content. Synchronicity for the win!”


That would be great for news sites which have the problem that most of the conversation around articles happens on social networks.


News sites don't want conversation and comments on their articles. They want it to be a one way conversation.


This sounds great! Until spammers and grifters discover it. Is there a plan for them?


Replies from the Fediverse are moderated in the same way as normal comments.

So if a spammer on Mastodon replies to your post, it will be caught by Akismet (or whatever spam filter you're running).


Don’t follow the spammers and grifters, I guess. Replies that you make are posted to your feed.
