= What is "ActivityPub for WordPress" = |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
*ActivityPub for WordPress* extends WordPress with some fediverse features, but it does not compete with plattforms like Friendi.ca or Mastodon. If you want to run a **decentralized social network**, please use [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/) or [GNU.social](https://gnu.io/social/). |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
= What are the differences between this plugin and Pterotype? = |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
**Compatibility** |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
*ActivityPub for WordPress* is compatible with OStatus and IndieWeb plugin suites. *Pterotype* is incompatible with the standalone [WebFinger plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/webfinger/) plugin, so it can't be run together with OStatus. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
**Custom tables** |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
*Pterotype* creates/uses a bunch of custom tables, *ActivityPub for WordPress* only uses the native tables and adds as few meta data as possible. |
