Did they bring back the porn? I thought it was banned.
They brought back tasteful nudity, mostly.
It is sad day
I’m surprised it has taken them so long to switch to Wordpress given that they are owned by the same company
They couldn’t log in because of the WP Engine checkbox
I didn’t realize they were switching over to WordPress to be honest.
Nobody should be switching TO Wordpress in 2025… or 2023 or 2020 even. But definitely not 2025.
Tumblr ha no choice, WordPress bought it years ago
matt’s an ass and all, but the service on the .com does have a decent track record afaik.
No longer after the drama of the last few months. Stay as far away from WordPress as is humanly possible.
Thats nice to hear. I still have a queue to post every day. The site has its problems but at least the community arent bootlicking nazi assholes. To me its currently a small oasis on the internet.
This could be awesome in bringing lots of users. In the fediverse we trust them (unlike threads)
migrating my entire dying website to wordpress so I can use a protocol that is not only open source (negating the entire need to migrate to wordpress) but will immediately defederate with anything even vaguely corporate is surely something
expect the entire domain to be hijacked by a supplements Ponzi scheme by the weekend.
Is Tumblr still a thing? I thought it died after the christofascists banned porn. I haven’t been back since that day and heard it had died.
I think they might have softened the TOS for that?
Must have, I still have a porn Tumblr that absolutely sees fresh content
They did, frontal nudity and artistic nudity are allowed.
Tumblr is absolutely still a thing, my wife uses it all the time.
I’ve posted photos daily for 2 years now and I’m getting reasonable levels of likes/reposts. Judging from the stuff I’ve heard from other folks, these levels have fallen a lot from the site’s heyday, but there’s still a whole bunch of users. Just a hunch, but I guess the Twitter/Facebook shenanigans probably drove more people back to Tumblr, too.
Its extremely popular now. Never really died, just became less relevant. Automattic bought it, and matt (nutcase who owns wordpress) said he’d add activitypub support.
I started using it regularly after many previous failed attempts when Twitter died. Same for Pinterest oddly. I use them for similar but distinct things.
Now we need an activitypub linkedin
Please, no.
For what it’s worth, I don’t understand why anyone needs any linkedin.
It’s the only way you can reach a recruiter. They are always on there. Sometimes you need to play the corporate game
It’s in fact the only social media I have. Nobody wants my visiting cards anymore, it’s always “do you have linked in”. In the years I have LinkedIn, it actually didn’t gave me anything ever. Why the fuck do I use LinkedIn?
They added some pretty cool daily puzzle games last year. I have been using it for those, and only those. I really dif the Queens game, I couldn’t find a version of it to play elsewhere.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams! I know theres a lot of people have stated they are interested. I’m personally not sure what things you would like displayed to others with activityhub specifically.
Man, I remember looking up all sort of fantasy and cyberpunk artwork on Tumblr back in the day. Haven’t been on there in several years though.
i imagine that by “ActivityPub for Tumblr” they mean a buried option in your settings to monodirectionly bridge your blog to ap
They’re wanting threads users to interact with their site.
