Do we know any more about the plans of Tumblr for when it will join the Fediverse?
Matt did say “ASAP” at the time. Start of July saying they’re still working on it, did he simply underestimate how big of an undertaking it would be?

    Considering how Tumblr has been increasingly pushing things its users don’t want like the Live feature, wanting to take away chronological feeds, and issues like their mature flagging system going after trans women’s posts and LGBT content in tags, I’m hoping someone steps up to make a federated alternative.

      It does seem like it’s an opportunity that’s ripening.

      I’m thinking that forking misskey or firefish, and stripping down the front end to only what’s needed, and then making sure the mobile UI works better, might be a decent shortcut to getting something that meets the Tumblr need.
