Tumblr to join fediverse
-
probably, I remember something along those lines
-
I'll believe it when I see it
-
depends on whether matt mullenweg knows you exist
also i've only just realized why he named the company auto-matt-ic oh my god
-
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.
