With the current reddit migration happening I've remembered when Tumblr promised they were gonna add support for ActivityPub "ASAP".

Does someone happen to know if there's any news on that? I'm wondering if this was just said in an attempt to stay relevant and lure in Twitter users or if they're actually putting effort into fulfilling their promise.
Additionally, what is your opinion on having closed source platforms on the Fediverse? Would you block them?
Probably quite difficult to adapt such a legacy backend to ActivityPub.
But the new owners of Tumblr (same as Wordpress) are quite supportive of open-source standards and in the interview I read with their CEO some months ago it sounded like he really wants AP support to happen.
