@TNLNYC We might be at a tumblr one soon. They want to "update the core experience" to make things "easier for new users" and are talking algorithm rather than linking posts or rolling out the ActivityPub integration they've been silent on.
@sabret00the My planning assumption is that all social media will have to move to the Fediverse eventually. The reason I'm making exception for LinkedIn and YouTube is 2-fold: 1. LI is about business so privacy is more important there 2. Doing video is so bandwidth adn storage intensive that it can't fall on small players
@TNLNYC when you look at Peertube, it has huge potential. But the lack of leadership is a problem. I suspect it will eventually be huge, but it will require some big players to get involved.
@sabret00the Yup. #ActivityPub is not enough for video distribution. PeerTube is interesting indeed but the storage/bandwidth issue represents a challenge in terms of business model. You need to have a HUGE infrastructure to deal with volumes of video distribution. And that's costly. Not sure it's a business model that can work only through donation/subscription.
