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 think this is their attempt to EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) the Fediverse, so I’m strongly in favour of immediately defederating corporate instances as soon as they are created.
Yup, I think so. That’s why I gave OpenID and XMPP as examples.
Tumblr wouldn’t be much of a deal but if Zuck gets Activitypub integration working that would be a huge pain in the ass
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’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
