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.
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
Without porn tumblr is shit
“I still want to do it, but I was just informed there’s…PORN ON THERE GASP !” ~Tumblr CEO, probably
No shit. AFAIK Tumblr us circling the drain as it is and barely able to keep the lights on
What’s the point of being “advertiser friendly” of everyone leaves because of it.
Alternative title: Tumblr tumbles
Again?
Might be a sign fediverse isn’t gaining momentum.
Might be because they’re down to 25 staff members
Or Automattic doesn’t have enough employees left to implement it
Or might be a sign that capitalists wanna keep on siloing their networks once the hype has cooled down.
Or that Tumblr is Tumblr…
It’s just less hyped now compared to days of reddit API change and Twitter going to Elon Musk.
sad :(
If this happens, does this mean I have to see tumblr posts on Lemmy?
If you subscribe to someone on tumblr then yes. Otherwise i dont think so.
