I miss Tumblr. Yes, Tumblr still exists, but the Tumblr I miss does not. This stuff makes me wonder if we’ll see an ActivityPub Tumblr-clone at some point, like Lemmy/Kbin to Reddit, Mastodon to Twitter and PeerTube to YouTube.
Tumblr is adding activitypub support, hopefully this year.
Be the change you want to see
I was wondering the exact same thing a few days ago and spent some amount of time googling it.
There’s already such a project actually, called Swanye. There seems to be a single person working on it, so if anyone has time to help I’m sure it will be appreciated
It would be so great if all these big “social media” companies just went out of business.
I wonder who could have foreseen the porn ban leading to this… Oh, wait.
I surprised tumblr still exists honestly
Bring back the porn
They quietly have. Most of the restrictions have been rolled back
Porn is back yes but they are still pretty strict. If they catch you posting porn, you’re banned. If your post has a nipple poking up on a shirt, that post gets banned. If the clothes are too tight, that post gets banned. If you post too many posts that are banned per above criteria, your account is banned.
So then how is it back?
My comment was incomplete. While tumblr does a great job of stifling the average user’s ability to POST anything “sexy”, they seem to have zero ability to manage porn bots. I believe they are intentionally letting porn pots run free in order to sustain user base. Porn bots jumped again after they brought out new community standards last fall or early this year.
If you’re just a porn consumer, it’s fine. If you want to post porn and you know how to evade tumblr’s detection schemes, it’s great for you.
good. the only thing i’ll miss is the blog customization options.
“Tumblr CEO announces he’s really, really bad at his job.”
A classic
unpopular opinion i kinda liked tumblr better after the cumbrains left
Tumblr’s administration is hot garbage. I don’t feel bad for them, and neither should you.
By the way, Matt Mullenweg has a poll going on if he should step down LUL! https://www.tumblr.com/mattmullenwegceo/722564072820883456/should-i-step-down-as-head-of-tumblr-i-will-abide
Check the bio – that is a parody account.
