    No shit. AFAIK Tumblr us circling the drain as it is and barely able to keep the lights on

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

    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

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

    Might be a sign fediverse isn’t gaining momentum.

    • The_Decryptor@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

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

      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.

    If this happens, does this mean I have to see tumblr posts on Lemmy?

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