If I were #Tumblr or #Flickr or #Substack or #Post I’d quadruple the tech staff building out #ActivityPub support stat! And follow the lead of pioneers like @coachtony @Flipboard and @mozilla … if I were #Linkedin, #Pinterest or the like, I’d hire an ActivityPub team fast!

Is the pitch to do so b/c of increasing social app fragmentation and these apps risk losing users b/c of all the choice in apps?

I fear the AP plans for Threads may be delayed given how strong it seems the launch has been. It seemed like a cynical defense against data harvesting claims ("but look, you can still take it with you!"). Don't see why anyone would want to rush to AP otherwise?

@wes Nope, to do so because the Universe of #activityPub users is about to go from 1.8 million per month with just the fedi to 100+ to 200+ million users per month soon when #Threads federates.
