@fedi Ngl, I'm quite hyped with Tumblr joining the Fediverse. Not only will it help it but Automattic is quite doing a good job(better than Verizion imo)

@akatsukilevi I think it is mostly a good thing but its so big some people are worried it could flood the fediverse and drown out the existing network.

I think they could start federating by end of January.

@fedi Yeah, this is quite a concern, but I think the devs are considering it, they probably will think on something to avoid drowning out the network

One way I think could do well for this is for the fedi support to be opt-in. So instead of all blogs on Tumblr to automatically become part of the fediverse, the users can opt-in manually, which will definitively decrease the sudden flood
