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

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

It’s your personal lifetime of experience saying “if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…”
Tumblr is a for profit company like many of their peers in the spcial media industry. They will latch onto anything of perceived value and suck it dry for their own gain then toss it aside when no longer useful to heir profit margins

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

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

Damn, where am I going to find unhinged opinions in wafer-thin niches within wafer-thin niches. Fursuit tax advocacy needs broader awareness

What’s the point of being “advertiser friendly” of everyone leaves because of it.
