If the majority of the Fediverse is going to defederate from Meta Threads, does that mean we will defederate from Tumblr too? (kbin.social)

For me, it depends heavily on how they do it.

  • Will it be FOSS?
  • Will of adhere to the ActivePub standard and play nice in not trying to push it around to suit their needs alone?
  • Will it be honest about how much and which data they collect, and give users control on how much they want to share?
  • Are they good about not forcing their users on an unknowable algorithm?

There's too many factors to decide on a whim. Not all companies are wholly evil like Meta, Microsoft and Elon's enterprises, but they're all for-profit, and we must always be wary. I'm willing to give Tumblr's owner the benefit of the doubt for now.
