Tumblr to join fediverse
-
Can anyone eli5?
Will it federate with AP platforms?
-
It's the porn paridox. Porn gets users. Advertisers pay per user... but won't pay anything if there's porn. Users without advertisers or subscription costs are worthless.
-
Neocities is Tumblr if it were worth anyone's time.
-
The article seems well-written, except that:
the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.
Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we're like "and others" lel... I guess they didn't mention Pixelfed either tho and it's a lot "hotter"...
-
Is it still the same SJW hellhole it was a decade ago?
-
Because Automattic owns Tumblr and is run by a douchebag transphobe that is also destroying WordPress. (Though, to be fair WordPress is fucking trash)
-
As with the fediverse, there are a lot of user curated blacklists to get rid of the problem children.
Just don't trust shinigamieyes, that shit got taken over by terfs a few years back and now lists a lot of innocent trans bloggers.
-
Maybe if they did something about their porn bot problem I'd be happier to see this
-
Wait, what? That's disappointing. I use Shinigamieyes, haven't noticed anything weird yet.
-
Lol, people are still using SJW as a snarl world in 2025?
-
That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.
The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.
-
No support for user post though...
That means nothing to federate.
-
What's wrong?
Tumblr on fediverse by default will increase variation of community in fediverse. Especially, fediverse right now is still mainly filled with American or European related topics.
-
I mean, come on people, it's current year, not past year.
-
No, the word is DEI now.
-
Oh hellsite
-
It will federate with other AP platforms.
-
Nooooooooooooo
-
One thing at least is that when you search "Reddit alternatives", most articles that I came across seemed to make out like Lemmy is the best option in terms of amount of users and not being advertised explicitly as a "free speech and censorship free platform", which we all know really means "bigots are welcome here." In fact when I was searching Reddit alternatives, it seemed to me that Lemmy is really the only option.

In the '80s and '90s, everything these people didn't like was 'satanic'. Then that nonsense seemed to disappear for about a decade. Until those people returned with updated terminology that makes them look like 'free speech' warriors to all the kids and not the dogmatic psychos that they are.
So since then we've gone from SJW to woke to now DEI. But it's always been the same fucking people, or types of people, that told me that all the cartoons I watch and music I listen to was 'evil' and 'satanic' when I was a kid.
I actually almost fell for the SJW thing myself back in the day. I was circling that drain. Until I opened my eyes and saw the company that I was in. Since then I've been borderline 'SJW' myself because fuck those people.
