aw man, i really thought this was what was gonna get all my friends on the fedi finally. understandable given their explanation but it still bites. the wordpress thing is promising though, shows it’s still on automattic’s radar, maybe at some point the promise of wordpress/tumblr interpolarity will make tumblr on activitypub worth it for them
