Tumblr to join fediverse
-
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.
-
the Lemmy block system works as intended. if you want some other system, use some other service. but being a federated system, you can't actually stop the data from being visible, or someone from creating a new user and interacting, if your post is public.
-
thebadspace has no real rhyme or reason either and lists a lot of folks I think are fine, and also gives (almost) no reason or receipts.
-
Wow, way to try staying relevant I guess? They had a huge following and the porn was flowing during the good times. They blew their chance and now it’s a shell of itself. Fuck Tumblr.
-
For a long time I thought tumblr was Pinterest.
What the heck is tumblr? I dont think ive ever done an image search that lead me to that site.
-
Flipboard is how you can federate BBC and a bunch of legit news networks. They're pretty important imho
-
I welcome our colon three posting brothers and sisters
-
As long as there's no toxic behaviour from them, I'm more than OK with this
