Interesting: Activityhub and bluesky integration out the door. Thats a first (I think?)

Sure would be nice if the fediverse realized that part of what is holding back adoption is your nonsensical gen alpha service names.

I see the tumblr culture is already present, congrats! Although I never personally used tumblr, my understanding is that more than features or functionality it was very much the culture that its users cultivated that made that site special.
gabboman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It was the idea from the start

I never understood what tumblr was. How is it any different from twitter etc… ?
BlindFrog@lemmy.world 8 months ago
For me, Tumblr was an online culture different from the ADHD of other journaling/blogging platforms like Instagram or Twitter. You could find conversations in tags, gifs didn’t lag my browser to hell, fan content was proliferous there, webpages could be personalized to the lengths you might’ve gone to in MySpace. It was the place to find fandoms and fandom content, even for the most obscure series. There were no ads. And I felt like gifs/texts of porn and kinks were made more accessible when searched for by tags.
There was no algorithm - discovery of new blogs was just subscribing to tags & maybe following who your followed-people followed, the way the fediverse kinda is.
I felt like the presentation was good to relish each post of content with less distraction, and the pagination + scroll browsing was just enough to keep me addicted.
Someone correct me if I’m remembering it wrong.
RIP 2011 Tumblr

@gabboman@app.wafrn.net ,
Is registration on the wafrn website backlogged? I submitted a registration bout 12 hours ago, and the registration page said to wait a few hours for review. Got nothin in my email just yet. Not that I’m antsy, and there’s no rush; just hoping to know when I should follow up to log in :u
I didn’t get any email confirmation about my submitted registration, I realize. I refrained to keep from spamming, but… Should I actually submit another? :x
Thank you for this! I’m not sure how I would’ve found out about Wafrn otherwise, lol

One of the biggest issues with fediverse platforms is poor presentation. This is another good example of that.
irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Its intentional.

Thank god. I hate being on websites with kids.
venoft@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Why do these kind of things always have random-name-generator names? Just name it something sane.
irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Its name stands for “We Allow Female Representing Nipples”, based on the tumblr policy of banning Female Representing Nipples.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 months ago
If everything was named “Something Sane” how would we tell different things apart?
dil@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
What do you have against e I o u and sometimes y?
gabboman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
wafrn stands for We Allow Female Representing Nipples in reference to 2018 tumblr porn ban
trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Wafern would probably roll off the tongue a little better?
traceur301@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
err wasn’t the tumblr verbiage “female presenting nipples”?
lime@feddit.nu 8 months ago
any plans to appease the cohost crowd and allow css in posts?
gabboman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
we allow some css in posts
PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Fantastic idea! I miss Tumblr terribly ever since the Great Porn Ban of 2018, even though I never even reblogged or followed ‘adult’ blogs. I just wanted to reblog holsum and funny fanart, but fuck giving into puritan corpo censorship.
What’s the moderation policy on genocide denial and the like? I hate having to ask this, but having heard too many people deny the Holodomor on here, I feel it necessary to make the inquiry.
For that matter, more generally, are you prepared, in terms of moderation structure, for the massive amount of legitimately disturbing material that’s going to pass through the site and will need to be removed if the site grows beyond a few hundred users? I would hate to join and then see this crash because of (completely understandable) moderator/admin burnout at the depravity and speed of mankind’s worst elements.
gabboman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
its a fedi platform, shit will happen but we have blocked the worst of the wrost on fedi. And we also check registrations for vpns. Registration with vpn is not allowed for safety

My god, the internet is back.
Seriously, I love it. Correct amount of humor and functionality. I’m on the road but I’ll be signing up for sure.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
i was big in the david karp era fandom tumblr and loved it during gleek tumblr and spn tumblr days (i still have an account but don't use it as much) so i'm definitely going to look at this (as someone that also uses bsky, i like the idea that it's integrated with atproto too. i trust that it's trans and queer friendly too? :^
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Well, tumblr died out in 2017 because they said “NO PORN!!!”
And all the blogs died.
It’s like Dr Cox said: “If you take all the porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left. www.bringbacktheporn.com and nobody would visit because it doesn’t have porn.”
So. Does WAFRN have porn? And also…why are these things ALWAYS named with weird hard to pronounce names? Come see my new website Drufyflezak!
bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I always figured because the weird names have cheaper domain registrations. However wafrn is a pretty short name so, it probably is on the high end.
c0dezer0@programming.dev 8 months ago
And also avoiding law suits with another existing names / registrated brands.
Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Exciting! I’ve made an effort to let go of Insta for both privacy and hatred of Zuck’s policies, which left me stuck on Tumblr to look at any fanart/fandom content. Hopefully this could replace people’s need for Tumblr in a few years, especially since they also do a shit job of caring about their users.

Honestly very excited to see this! Will share with my friends but they’re not early adopter types, sadly. I’ll sign up though!
gabboman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Wafrn has existed for more than 3 years at this point haha
