Tumblr to join the fediverse after WordPress migration completes
This was a very nice surprise to see:
"Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today."
ActivityPub is the open protocol behind Mastodon and Pixelfed, among others. Threads and Ghost have also been steadily adding support.
Given the long tail of ActivityPub and the simultaneous rise of Bluesky, which is connected to the ActivityPub network via Bridgy Fed, the future of the open social web is very bright. It is the future of all social media. This is another great milestone along the road.
