Maybe this could be a positive thing for newbies since now mastodon instances can federate with Tumblr and Threads to become more viable

Or could it bring destruction? Just like what happened with XMPP and OpenID

I’ve heard about Threads, which frankly I think will never pan out (they have no particular reason to encroach on this “market” given how small and usually anti-corporate it is here - I think they only mentioned ActivityPub as a buzzword), but Tumblr?

I think you’re right about the Threads situation. As always zuck is pumping out buzzwords and hype.

Tumblr announced they will be starting to work on activitypub integration in November 2022 but I guess either it’s taking a long time due to how Tumblr works or they completely forgot about it
