How to Follow WordPress Blogs From Anywhere on the Fediverse ( wedistribute.org )

Please correct me if i’m wrong but Automattic is the owner of WordPress.com, a company offering WordPress hosting and plugins.

Sure, they contribute a lot to the WordPress project, but they do not own it.

WordPress is free and open (unlike privately owned companies)

Sure, as an open source project, everybody owns the code. But, Automattic is the corporate arm directly involved with the project, employs many of the project’s developers, and holds the trademark.
