Elon's take over of Twitter has set a lot of things into motion in the digital world :amaze: Tumblr and now also Flickr are thinking about intergrating ActivityPub so it will be able to connect to the Fediverse! :fediverse: A lot of lay offs in the mainstream social media but the Fediverse is only growing! The world is waking up :blobcheerwitch: Social media can be fun but also privacy friendly at the same time, you got the proof now!❤️No billioaires needed ✅

@stux but Tumblr and Flickr are private companies that can turn a EEE tactic into the new "GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo" of the fediverse.We must be pretty aware of this.

@stux I think the biggest realization will actually be from investors. They saw that while social media can be profitable, it doesn't have to be. I think that they initial thought was there aren't enough spaces with engage for the Twitter users to go and they didn't expect the Exodus. What they didn't realize is that if we all leave, we get to have similar experiences.

@stux OK. Any project can implement #ActivityPub and join the #fediverse. But do you really think that federating with #CorpoMedia such as Tumblr or Flickr will be a step towards a privacy-friendly federation? Millions of their users will of course benefit from federation, but I don't expect these companies to change anything in their privacy policies. So by visiting their sites (through accounts with fediverse) they will collect data about us as they do so far.

@stux I believe we are experiencing the beginning of the real Web 3.0 — the breaking down of the corporately owned, walled-garden social media platforms — giving way to independent, decentralized platforms that interconnect with each other smoothly and seamlessly. It’s like when AOL gave way to the internet — and we all know what happened thereafter.

@stux I visit my inactive Twitter account from time to time. I see a strange pattern on the “trending” part which is the one who drives most activity. It’s either Elon, Something that Elon said or do or some sort of “owning the libs” what’s always trending top. Elon like Trump keeps claiming that “activity on Twitter keeps rising!” In order to convince ad spending. Twitter now is no different to Truth or any other radical social media cesspool. Companies will decide if the want that

@stux Mastodon dev-team just have to react with increasing data-flow. And not just with tech-scalability side of things.Huge light speeding feeds needs some kind of algorithms, so people can find relevant content even if it was posted this morning and you can log in at evening. "Slow it down"-functionality doesn't cut it.And that needs dev-team not to be scared of "being twitter". Twitter did some things right, just pick the right parts from it. Not the "soulless engagement-demon"-part.

@stux inb4 one of them pulls the rug on #ActivityPub to replace it with a new, proprietary, protocol that they control because it's "better" and "supports their platform better". "Hey folks! #Tumblr is phasing out ActivityPub but register your instance for an API key here to integrate with us using our new protocol, [TumblPub?idk/c]".Would it destroy #mastodon ? No. But it would put a significant divide in people coming from #TwitterMigration who would then funnel off to tumblr in the end.

@stux Why else would #tumblr be so quick to jump on the #ActivityPub bandwagon? How many platforms integrate with other, competing, platforms? If they jump in now, they will catch so much more of the crowd flocking from #twitter than #mastodon simply because of their existing reputation & status in social media. Then they can just pull out of the federation whenever they see fit.

@RobThe current owners of Tumblr (Automattic) have also enabled ActivityPub support for WordPress. While it's possible that they might do such a thing as you describe, such an action would *very significantly* hurt the brand image they have cultivated, and unlike Twitter they are not run by an incompetent nitwit.Plus, if more social media companies beside Tumblr join in, any one of them doing that would become harder to pull off.@stux

@mathlover @stux well, let's think more generalized. I used #tumblr as more, an example, of what could happen of ANY corp getting involved. But I do think that #Automattic is a good one that would not intentionally exploit or cause harm to the community.. but how many out there would? What can the community do as a whole to discourage it & make it not worth their while?
