Tumblr migrating to being powered by WordPress and joining the Fediverse in turn will be a huge deal.

About a year ago, WordPress CEO Matt Mullenweg mentioned that Tumblr would support the Fediverse, but there haven’t been any updates on this since then.

While the Fediverse is an interesting idea, I believe Tumblr should consider supporting AT Protocol instead. With Bluesky being the fastest-growing social media platform and the only one currently using AT Protocol, implementing this on Tumblr would not only provide strong competition but also make it easier for users to move between platforms.

This could help prevent monopolies and promote decentralized social networking. Are there any plans for Tumblr to adopt AT Protocol, or could this be considered in the future?

Answer: Hi, @mohdasif!

Good news! While it is still on the list, the Tumblr to WordPress migration will definitely unlock ActivityPub for Tumblr! In fact, one big reason for the migration itself is to get us into the Fediverse. When that’s done, we’re in.

The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news.

Thanks for your question, and we hope it won’t be too long. Keep the questions coming!

Finally got the entire collection.

I rarely post any pictures, so I've decided to share that I'm getting a root canal at some point (or I'm losing a tooth). *Shrugs* #ThisHurtsBeyondWords (at New York, New York)

Been donating to @aclu_nationwide, felt I might as well share and get them whatever little extra attention I can give them. Just know they fight for your rights, have a great success rate and they've been at it for ages. (at New York, New York)

You can hear SA-RAs style of adlib in this. It makes me want to draw something.

When I was at Comic Con I got to have this awesome conversation with @babsdraws/@babsbabsbabs (artist of the new Batgirl series) about diversity and inclusion in comics and comic book movies. Can't exactly recall the conversation, but overall it made me hopeful for the future.
