After a long silence, Tumblr confirms it is still planning to join the fediverse.

> The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news.

@box464 Hard to get excited with everything that's been going on around Automattic, but interesting news nonetheless!

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @box464@mastodon.social it doesn't sound like they're going to support ActivityPub, it sounds like they're developing a purpose-built migrator to go from Tumblr to WordPress, at which point the AP plugin would do the heavy lifting.
