very brave of you to say that here

Yeah :\
They did mention that they were planning to make Tumblr open-source, which might've been why they said that. I could see ActivityPub integration there in that event.
Yeah it is and I'm aware, I even asked it that specifically for that cutoff. Also thought Boris Johnson was the prime minister lol
Vivaldi-to-Firefox here with a little insight! Firefox addons can have the permission to hide tabs, and there are addons that take good advantage of this. Simple Tab Groups can essentially replicate Vivaldi Workspaces, as well as Sidebery if you want something a bit more on steroids in the form of a sidebar.
~~While I've got you here, I've had issues with Vivaldi not being able to block Google search results I don't want to see. Might've been me not setting my blocklist up properly, but it works on Firefox with uBlock Origin and Safari with Adguard.~~ Seems like Vivaldi doesn't support some of the more advanced filtering that Letsblock.it uses for that - AdGuard works.
tbf, and I'm saying this as a Firefox user, some of the comments about Firefox here make me wanna just
The loudest parts of the userbase can change the perceptions of software to outsiders, very much like fandoms.
Floorp is Firefox with Vivaldi-style tweaks. Part of it is what Firefox really should be right now.
If you're a minimalist, I can vouch for Pulse Browser, with sidebar tabs (native to Pulse, similar to Edge) and Simple Tab Groups, it's great.
We need this era back tbh.
As someone who's used both, the way federation works on Bluesky/Atproto is very different to how ActivityPub works. It's very much a backend thing, letting that do the heavy lifting and prevent the user from worrying about it as much as you have to here, rather than trying to make its fediverse a whole experience.
As for Tumblr, there was talk about bringing it to the fediverse and Wordpress themselves have already allowed users of their hosted blog service to opt-in to this, but have not done it for Tumblr. And Threads? Well, there was a pact to fediblock Threads because of its ties to Facebook, so there's that.
Well for one, if a feature is implemented in Atproto, it'll be implemented for the entire federated network. With ActivityPub, there's inconsistency with the features (You still need Glitch-soc if you want Mastodon with text formatting, for instance) and, while yes it's cool that I can talk to Lemmy from my Mastodon account, it's quite a clunky experience IMO and shouldn't be a selling point to the regular user who just wants to post about what they're doing.
I'll try to explain to the best of my ability, from having used both and figuring things out.
On Atproto, the federation is very much more on the backend, where the Personal Data Servers are interlinked and people access the protocol through bsky.app or some other app they wish to use. They have started rolling out the infrastructure to allow federation between different PDSs and have started moving user data to them. They've made for a more predictable, consistent federated experience (which has been a criticism of the ActivityPub's fediverse), and allowed for a more resilient infrastructure, but unfortunately it's limited to what Bluesky wants which is just microblogging while ActivityPub is more flexible (see: Mastodon, Lemmy, Funkwhale, PeerTube, Wordpress, etc.) but has the cultural issue of people treating their instance like their own personal forum and not a critical part of the fediverse's infrastructure.
Messed with it a bit and it still thought Queen Elizabeth was the current reigning monarch in the UK.
...I thought Twitter would at least show the image as a preview but I forgot that it doesn't even work on Discord or Telegram.
