Thanks to everyone who responded. I am amazed how many people answered somewhat or very unimportant. 43.3% of the domains on the Web run on WordPress. That's a huge number of people, businesses, and organizations that could quickly be on the Fediverse just by installing the plugin and flipping a switch. And it's a group of people who value Open Source, the hacker ethos, and the open Web. I am looking forward to more outreach to WordPress users.

@evan WordPress is a highly relevant strategic resource for the popularization of the Fediverse. In our @rede training sessions, we pay special attention to this solution: https://alquimidia.org/fediverso/tecnologias/wordpress I can't wait for them to implement the native feature for following users.
