At this point I'm convinced that the Fediverse integration is just a means of marketing for them. Everyone should boycott the cockteasing bastards.

I’m not sure of what I’m talking about exactly, but I vaguely suspect that integrating with the fediverse will make some of their less ethical practices at tumbler too transparent and obvious.

But that is one part hunch and one part cynical belief, I don’t know of the details

Yeah their plans have been on and off for years now. Just ignore anything they say.

"I still want to do it, but I was just informed there's....PORN ON THERE GASP !" ~Tumblr CEO, probably

They did want it to be the new PDF.

Alternative title: Tumblr tumbles

Might be a sign fediverse isn't gaining momentum.

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Or might be a sign that capitalists wanna keep on siloing their networks once the hype has cooled down.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Or that Tumblr is Tumblr....

Might be because they're down to 25 staff members

[–] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Or Automattic doesn't have enough employees left to implement it

[–] matcha_addict@lemy.lol 4 points 1 week ago

It's just less hyped now compared to days of reddit API change and Twitter going to Elon Musk.

Fuck Tumblr. Fuck WordPress. Fuck Automattic. And fuck Matt.

Tumblr has some interesting content from users, but the platform is awful and it's even worse since Automattic bought it. Also, the trend to put the entire contents of the post in hashtags is flat-out stupid and infuriating.

Automatic is a tremendously terrible company, and Matt is an egotistical pile of garbage.

No shit. AFAIK Tumblr us circling the drain as it is and barely able to keep the lights on

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's the point of being "advertiser friendly" of everyone leaves because of it.

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

It makes shareholders feel a simulacra of emotion for a brief moment.

[–] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Without porn tumblr is shit

Damn, where am I going to find unhinged opinions in wafer-thin niches within wafer-thin niches. Fursuit tax advocacy needs broader awareness

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If this happens, does this mean I have to see tumblr posts on Lemmy?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 week ago

If you subscribe to someone on tumblr then yes. Otherwise i dont think so.

i remember when they announced that tumblr would be migrating to wordpress for the backend, and both tumblr and wordpress engineers said in unison "this is a terrible idea"
