Looks like #Tumblr will finally join the #SocialWeb once migration to #WordPress is complete.
And because it’s migrating to WordPress, it will be using #ActivityPub for WordPress to do this.
What’s interesting is that people are already demanding #ATProto so Tumblr will connect to #Bluesky. But from a business perspective, that’s a bad idea unless Automattic plans to run its own firehose—which can be quite expensive.

The solution is to build for the Social Web, not the Fediverse.

Fedi won't be able to build with discoverability and usability in mind while the Fedi HOA is around, regardless of what we want.

How have they prevented Threads from using ActivityPub and Google indexing their posts? They haven’t.
