Please use the ActivityPub plugin instead of OStatus!

    OStatus is the predecessor of and mostly replaced by the ActivityPub spec.

    [ActivityPub] comes from years of hard work and experience by a number of communities exploring the space of federation on the web. In particular, much of this specification is informed by OStatus and the Pump API, as pioneered by StatusNet (now GNU Social) and Pump.io. Both of those initiatives were the product of many developers’ hard work, but more than anyone, Evan Prodromou has been a constant leader in this space, and it is unlikely that ActivityPub would exist in something resembling its current state without his hard work.

    Most of the plattforms that supported OStatus switched to ActivityPub, so I also decided to fokus on the new Spec. I recommend you to use the WordPress ActivityPub plugin instead or in addition (you do not have to delete OStatus, they will work nicely togester) to the OStatus plugin.

    I will not deprecate OStatus for now, but I will also not add any new features.
