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.

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.
They brought back tasteful nudity, mostly.

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.
Well, I was thinking the same, but the CEO of the company that currently owns Tumblr recently went on a very strange ego trip burning a lot of bridges and generally making an ass of himself, so I have become more cautious.

I don’t care who federates. We can always ban their instance:
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.

This could be awesome in bringing lots of users. In the fediverse we trust them (unlike threads)
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.
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.
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.
Yo I forgot about that! Hahaha I kinda forgot about Tumblr completely after they porn drama. I never used it back then or now but I heard about it because of that

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'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.
Tumblr is absolutely still a thing, my wife uses it all the time.
I think they might have softened the TOS for that?
They did, frontal nudity and artistic nudity are allowed.

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.
Now we need an activitypub linkedin
Please, no.
For what it's worth, I don't understand why anyone needs any linkedin.

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.
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?
Linkedin getting a social media part is really the proof that enshittyfication is fucking everywhere.

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.
They're wanting threads users to interact with their site.
