« Tumblr too is “dealing with waves of users right now”, but will be adding “interoperability and ActivityPub support as soon as possible”. »
Par contre ça c'est moins cool :
« Corporate money is flowing into Mastodon more directly, as well. Pawoo, a large Mastodon instance based in Japan with 800,000 users, was acquired by crypto startup Social Coop, which runs a cryptocurrency-based “web3 social network” called Mask, with $50m of funding behind it. The company already runs two other Mastodon instances, Mastodon.cloud and mstdn.jp. »

« Just imagine you could subscribe to an Instagram profile on Twitter. (...)
