Comment on Tumblr to move its half a billion blogs to WordPress

This could indeed potentially lead to a future with tumblr on the fediverse. I don’t see why not 🤷
Tumblr announced they were gonna integrate with ActivityPub years ago. It’s been silence on the topic since then, hopefully this move to Wordpress is a step towards joining the Fediverse.
The link to the original TechCrunch article doesn’t seem to be working, but here’s a mirror on Slashdot: m.slashdot.org/story/407458
The question is whether or not Tumblr users would want such a thing.
I feel like the same thing will happen like when WordPress introduced a (bad) TikTok/streaming clone called Tumblr Live. I think less than 10% of the userbase ever interacted with it, most of the community openly hated it, and the people who did use it largely didn’t use Tumblr themselves.
I could see Tumblr users actively finding a way to defederate their blogs from everything Fediverse related.
