What if, in fact, darker assessments of the economy were more authentically tethered to reality?"

@hfaust I'm starting to think that social media sites adding ActivityPub support is kind of a way to keep a platform relevant. If a userbase is dwindling then it just leads to even more people leaving the site. Adding federation seems like a last ditch effort because it gives your userbase more people to interact with. So it isn't really surprising that Tumblr is adding federation.
@beardalaxy I don't care at all. I'm such an expert on literary tropes that I pretty much know how a story will end unless it really subverts expectations. Which is also why I find people intentionally spoiling stories at line-ups hilarious.
