They did want it to be the new PDF.

Might be a sign fediverse isn’t gaining momentum.

Or might be a sign that capitalists wanna silo their networks once the hype has cooled down.

Or that Tumblr is Tumblr…

Or Automattic doesn’t have enough employees left to implement it

Might be because they're dowt to 25 staff members

It’s just less hyped now compared to days of reddit API change and Twitter going to Elon Musk.

Fuck Tumblr. Fuck WordPress. Fuck Automattic. And fuck Matt.
Tumblr has some interesting content from users, but the platform is awful and worse since Automattic bought it. Also, the trend to put the entire contents of the post in hashtags is flat-out stupid and infuriating.

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.

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?
Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 weeks ago

At this point I’m convinced that the Fediverse integration is just a means of marketing for them. Everyone should boycott the cockteasing bastards.
limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
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

Yeah their plans have been on and off for years now. Just ignore anything they say.
