For those that don’t know, word has been a while from the CEO of tumblr that they will federate with the fediverse.
They apparently hesitated recently for fear of overrunning the fediverse with their relative size. But that might have changed now since Meta are coming with their platform. And also the fediverse keeps growing.
Large if correct!
It’s certainly true that the CEO committed to federating. I can assure you. They said they’d do it ASAP after sorting other scaling issues of their own out.
Word is though that they’ve been hesitant since and that’s where things get into rumour for me. But I’ve seen the CEOs comments myself on federating, it’s not just a rumour I heard.
The last one should be Digg
I could never find my way along Tumblr. I really tried. There is something about the way content is shared and reposted that doesn’t work for me.
read bottom to top.
all you have to do is
it’s easy
Well, I tried.
That doesn’t make sense 😡
When the Twitter-pocalypse was happening I did check out Tumblr a fair bit more. Dear god, that place was like 10 times funnier since the porn ban. It’s like the whole place aged up a bunch and the people left were far more mature and creative. Like, seeing the whole Goncharov thing unfold was amazing.
But if you have any more niche interest, yeah, place is much slower.
I’ve never been much of a tumblr person but I may check it out. I’ve also jumped into mastodon, but haven’t found much funny
For meta it will also let them be interoperable which is a new obligation for them under the Digital Markets Act in the EU that will be progressively enforced
