 I want to be wrong, but I believe #Tumblr may delay embracing the #Fediverse due to the cost of activating #ActivityPub site wide.

👉🏾 Tumblr to Fediverse: The Rent Is Too D-mn High! https://darnell.tv/2023/10/01/tumblr-fediverse-too-high/

 @b4bbc4d3 Recently sold one of my investment to Automattic/Wordpress; the deal was cash+stock, and i believe Matt *(ceo) acquired many important assets through this way - basically they will have to exit*(IPO?) somehow and sky high bill is not a good thing.
