Did they bring back the porn? I thought it was banned.
It’s banned but there’s still a lot of porn on there, lol.
kof! kof! lemmynsfw KOF!
Careful, I think you are choking on something.
It’s fine now; I’ve taken a sip from my drink.
i imagine that by “ActivityPub for Tumblr” they mean a buried option in your settings to monodirectionly bridge your blog to ap
Side thought: what are they gonna do with content that violates the site’s rules?
For example, knowing Tumblr audience and current rules, many will rush for uncensored NSFW content, and Fedi’s got plenty of that.
I hope it’s implemented better than Facebook’s version with the ability to see other Fediverse posts in Tumblr and follow right from the app. I always liked Misskey/Starkey because I felt it was the next generation of Tumblr but it would be great to see more Misskey posters in Tumblr.
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.
Tumblr is owned by Automattic, which runs WordPress.com. Tumblr migrating to WordPress is not a surprise in the slightest.
Unlike Threads, I kind of even don’t mind
Tumblr is generally cute, and while we should be on the watch still, I think it could enrich the Fediverse community.
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.
Now we need an activitypub linkedin
For what it’s worth, I don’t understand why anyone needs any linkedin.
What? Its great for osint
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.
Corpo drones must keep a page up similar to an onlyfan model.
Got to keep daddy thristy for that sweet labour.
Which part of LinkedIn? The social media part? The CV part? The job board part? E-learning?
What would the federated, non-social media parts even look like?
The profiles. You know, the place where I can get the list of people who work for a company and what they do and then email them directly when the company fucked something up and support has failed me.
Would you want to get such a message after you or someone inf your company fucks up? I don’t think that’s what the goal of a job profile is…
Yes. If customer support doesn’t understand that there is a vulnerability on the website, then I would definitely want to know about it
I’ve emailed CISOs directly this way, who have thanked me.
That case makes sense does make sense. I’m concerned about abuse however. Imagine if you worked for a game company as a dev, put your profile on the fediverse and angry idiots started sending you complaints, spam, or worse. That would drive people away.
On LinkedIn there’s some semblance of professionalism in messages (yes I know of the crazies on LinkedIn). Making profiles publicly available to multiple servers will require proper guardrails to prevent abuse and spam.
I dont message them on likedin. I email them off site.
All I need is their first and last name.
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.
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.
The service on the .org is great
Might be, you still shouldn’t build new stuff on there. It’s under the control of a person going through a mental breakdown and lashing out at everyone instead of getting help.
Nah, its Foss. Anyone can fork it
No, it’s not that easy. Matt Mullenweg personally owns the plugin repository and has weaponized it by literally stealing paid plugins from their developers as revenge. You’d have to create an alternative repository for your fork to actually have a healthy ecosystem, but the individual developers are financially disincentivized to follow due to Mullenweg. This makes for a very uncertain future for both the project and the ecosystem - and why risk it, when there are better options?
Tumblr is alive?
It never died. Even with the killing of porn it just kept going. The userbase actively despises the owners and will keep it alive through this hatred. Through all owners.
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.
Tumblr is absolutely still a thing, my wife uses it all the time.
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.
