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
More like what happened with Walmart and local stores.
I hope not. But even so seperate networks defederated from Threads can exist which is the most optimistic outcome if Threads implements activitypub
Probably that unless instances defederate from them.
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?
Tumblr Idk for sure as I rarely used it but threads just no
I’m not sure if Tumblr is going to actually do it, they have been working on it for a while. Automatic, the owners of Tumblr, did add it to wordpress already and they have open-sourced parts of Tumblr, so it would probably be fine
