   Well, I also expect 60 million #Flickr users to join the #Fediverse.
   
   I also expect 150 milllion #Tumblr users to join too.
   
   And also 700 million #WordPress sites. Not users, sites.
   
   This just scratches the surface on how big the Fediverse will be.

     @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social Zuckerberg doesn’t own any of the sites and software I just mentioned.

     @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social Now I can’t tell if you’re serious or trolling.

     @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social Well, Meta wouldn’t “own” Tumblr just because it can send and receive messages. Not any more than Automattic would own Barcelona for doing the same thing.

     Trolling? Not in the slightest. I've quite enjoyed our repartee, as I hope you have

     @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social The plug-in was just bought by Automattic about a month ago. And according to them, #ActivityPub for #WordPress now has 3,000 installs. Which means, on a node level, it’s the second biggest Fediverse service after Mastodon.

     We'll have to see about the Tumblr thing. Wordpress hasn't exactly taken the fediverse by storm (yet). It's a plugin bolted on to a pre-existing CMS, I've seen users complain about its limited utility. The point is, the immediate issue is Meta, not these others. Tumblr could be a big deal/problem too. I want to see the fediverse thrive just like you, but a Zuckerberg takeover isn't the way to get there
