Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s Twitter takeover and is now also backing Post.news, Twitter’s main competitor outside Mastodon. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take!

@taylorlorenz I was initially concerned mastodon wouldn’t be viable because signup is too complicated for the average user, but Tumblr showing interest in ActivityPub might be a game changer in helping make the migration easier for some 🙏🏻

@enny43 @taylorlorenz Remember Tumblr was sold for a song to automattic. Don't think it's the Tumblr of the glory days $1B valuation.

@piccolbo @taylorlorenz oh it’s not, but it’s still very much active with tens of millions of active monthly users.. far more than mastodon currently. ntm brand familiarity and ease of signup
