@Gargron @w3c Tumbler said the other day they're still just working on the integration

@Gargron @w3c I'm concerned about the plan for #activitypub to be opt-in for #threads. That will severely decrease the interoperability of this move. @Mastodon federates by default. Why can't #Threads do the same?

@Gargron @w3c

Oh my god... you actually believe this 😳

Oh my...

I feel so sorry for you, I hope you have a good strong support network in place for when reality hits.

Lambs to the slaughter!

@Gargron @w3c those old companies are dying. Let there be new things! Oh glorious new things!

@Gargron @w3c Ceterum censeo: It goes against their business model.

Bluesky adding activity pub would be sick. Or platforms/clients that can just do both at once.

@Gargron @w3c Is there any good reason why they can’t do both? Are their personal feed algos able to operated efficiently enough via AP if they want to enough?

@Gargron Why a company such as Meta (or whatever) would want that interoperability, when they don't necessarily need it? That is a serious question yet to be answered. I'm not against any adaptation in the first place btw.

@Gargron @w3c I doubt #Bluesky will embrace #ActivityPub out of pride, & #Tumblr will probably join the #Fediverse in 2025 or 2026 (based on their current pace).

I do believe that we will probably see more government institutions, private organizations, political leaders & famous celebrities who are running #WordPress enter the Fediverse (via the plugin).

I know #Flipboard will enter the Fediverse soon, but I am not sure when (or if‽) #PostNews & #Flickr will join.

@Gargron @w3c embrace, extend, extinguish

@Gargron I wish you didn’t have to deal with most of the comments I’m reading below your post 🙄

@Gargron @w3c I still quite don't understand, why #Threads were to reach such a decision. Isn't locking one's users in essential for the business? What is there to gain?

@Gargron I wouldn't count on Tumblr doing much of anything.

@Gargron @w3c And I hope that more people realize that interoperating with for-profit platforms means eventually succumbing to for-profit ethics and methods.

@Gargron @w3c I was wondering what happened to #Tumblr🤣

@Gargron Please check @photomatt #StateOfTheWord 2023 Q&A. #Tumblr is next. Direct link to his answer on #ActivityPub regarding #WordPress and #Tumblr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S01uBD2pyQY&t=365s

@w3c @Gargron instead of hoping Meta take over it, can we hope Mastodon's owner adopt a business model to support this solution better? For instance, they can attract content creators by letting users subscribe to their streams, but because the content creators can launch their own servers here, the margins that current solutions in this category take could dramatically decrease, therefore, they would prefer Mastodon over Patreon, etc.

@Gargron @w3c I suspect many will decide just to join us over on the dark side 😎

@Gargron @w3c There are a handful of people I really enjoyed reading/interacting with from twitler who are now exclusive with Threads. After Federation, will I be able to simply follow them from my Mastodon account? If so, this seems pretty cool indeed.
