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

Again?

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.

Might be a sign fediverse isn't gaining momentum.
-
Or might be a sign that capitalists wanna keep on siloing their networks once the hype has cooled down.
-
Or that Tumblr is Tumblr....
-
Might be because they're down to 25 staff members
-
Or Automattic doesn't have enough employees left to implement it
-
It's just less hyped now compared to days of reddit API change and Twitter going to Elon Musk.

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

Without porn tumblr is shit
-
sad :(
-
Damn, where am I going to find unhinged opinions in wafer-thin niches within wafer-thin niches. Fursuit tax advocacy needs broader awareness
-
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.
-
-
thank god

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"
