Newgrounds would be awesome in the Fediverse tbh, would bring so much content (beyond politics and news).

Image hosting seems to be super problematic with activity pub, especially with something pf Newgrounds' size. I'm super invested in this, can't wait to see where it'll go.

With Tumblr joining ActivityPub soon enough™ we're already going to see the impact on hosting stuff like that. If I were Newgrounds, I'd wait for Tumblr to switch over and see how they do it.
