- The SocialHub ActivityPub forum might shut down: the current admin is looking for another team to take over the operation, and it is currently unclear if this will happen
- Meta is likely scraping many fediverse servers, a leaked document alleges
- @Mastodon is working on adding Starter Packs

@fediversereport @laurenshof Oops, I should have tagged you about my recent starter pack work with https://fedidevs.com. Fedidevs is I think the biggest repository of starter packs of ActivityPub accounts, and these starter packs are now themselves available in ActivityPub format. They can already be imported by the latest dev versions of the WordPress plugin: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/pull/2047

I talked to the Mastodon peeps a bit about their plans and we see no obstacles for future compatibility.
