@pfefferle My Wordpress sites have the ActivityPub plugin installed. I created a poll (https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=11511) to ask visitors to one blog if they know what "Reply on the Fediverse" means on certain comments, and whether it would put them off replying.
Not a huge sample so far but the results are still interesting and, I suspect, indicative.

@AdamStuartSmith @monkeyben I understand that, but the reply-on-the-fediverse button only shows up under comments from the fediverse, so it is still possible to answer locally, simply not to this specific content.
We have done that, because it is even worse if there is a local thread based on a comment that came from the fediverse and the original author wouldn't even know, because we can't federate local comments.

Give people the option to reply on the fedi or twitter. Then if they click twitter rickroll them.

@monkeyben @pfefferle They don't necessarily *want* to reply on social media at all - they just want to reply to the blog comment on the blog. Most visitors don't understand what it means for the blog, or their comments, to be federated. The "Reply on the Fediverse" button clearly puts some people off. I haven't ascertained what the objection is yet.

@AdamStuartSmith @monkeyben would it help to add some explanation to the popup?
