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.
Be the change you want to see
Tumblr is adding activitypub support, hopefully this year.
I believe Misskey/Calckey are meant to be exactly this, but I haven’t tried them yet.
I feel like an open source, federated substack would be more useful. You could use it like tumblr if you wanted to, but people could also use it to do real stuff.
There is WriteFreely, though it’s light on features.
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
I wonder who could have foreseen the porn ban leading to this… Oh, wait.
“Tumblr CEO announces he’s really, really bad at his job.”
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.
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.
If it was his actual account, I’m pretty sure the engagement level will be about the same. Or even less LUL.
Tumblr’s administration is hot garbage. I don’t feel bad for them, and neither should you.
I guess I forgot Tumblr was still a thing.
I surprised tumblr still exists honestly
good. the only thing i’ll miss is the blog customization options.
A classic
Tumblr is great but the the last person who understood the user base was David Karp.
Also Tumblr without Xkit is just lunacy
unpopular opinion i kinda liked tumblr better after the cumbrains left
