   I can seemingly no longer reply to federated comments on my Wordpress sites from my blog accounts. I'm forced to "reply on the Fediverse" and then jump through some hoops to post a reply from a different account. It seems like a step backwards, I really liked the two-way federation of comments. Now it only seems to go one-way. Am I missing something? Is there a way to make the "reply on the Fediverse" optional, so I (if not visitors) can choose to reply on my blog as my blog?

     @AdamStuartSmith this should still work, but only for authors that can publish posts! Do you have the blog in single user mode?

     @AdamStuartSmith do you expect that if you comment as a user, that it will be published under the name of the blog? There are different opinions on that and I try to find out the best wax to handle that. fyi: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/issues/711

     @pfefferle Thanks. Yes, so if I changed it to multi-user mode I can post as my individual blog user? I have 23 users, but most visitors want to follow the blog as a whole, not 23 separate users. So I've adopted single user mode. So I think I'm stuck unless there's a way to get the best of both worlds - federate posts as the blog, but comments as users...

     @pfefferle I think that's what used to happen, yes, but I can see how that wasn't ideal. Still, it was better than not being able to comment at all under the 'enable blog' mode. There are pros and cons to the 'enable authors' and 'enable blog' modes.

     I suppose there's no simple way to have both a blog profile (for all posts) *and* separate user profiles (for comments only).

     Thanks for looking into it!
