Tumblr just confirmed (again) that it will be enabling ActivityPub
(atomicpoet.org)
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.
Somehow, porn returned.

kof! kof! lemmynsfw KOF!
Careful, I think you are choking on something.
It's fine now; I've taken a sip from my drink.
Hmmmm 🤔
They brought back tasteful nudity, mostly.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
They're wanting threads users to interact with their site.
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.
Tumblr ha no choice, WordPress bought it years ago
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.

How does that person think ATProto would prevent monopolization? ATProto is effectively controlled by a singular corporate entity. It already is a monopolized protocol.
Bluesky says they created ATProto because account portability is a problem on ActivityPub - which it 100% is. But account porting is something that's still being worked on for ActivityPub. If Bluesky actually cared about a decentralized platform, they would have contributed toward ActivityPub's development by helping to create the account porting tools. Instead, they created a new network that they own and control, and have gaslit their users into believing is "decentralized".
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.
Some of us never left.
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.
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.
I started using it regularly after many previous failed attempts when Twitter died. Same for Pinterest oddly. I use them for similar but distinct things.
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.
I think they might have softened the TOS for that?
They did, frontal nudity and artistic nudity are allowed.
