- Comment on Wafrn: a tumblr clone that federates with fedi and now also has opt in native bluesky 5 days 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

It was the Muse album Drones that I bought from the band’s website. I thiiiink I shared a link to the folder to my netbook with a different account to download to, and then I didn’t notice til later (maybe it was a week? A month?) the folder of just this muse album was empty.
Idr checking the trash can for my Google drive or anything. I don’t think I got a notice because I searched “copyright” in my emails circa 2015, and nothing related to removing my files popped up.

I have a similar experience keeping this waking state of mind, but the breadth of my vocabulary takes a steeep dive after a few days of only getting a few hours sleep (each night). I pretty much lose some capacity to form coherent speech, and when it happens in front of people, I try to blow it off like I just need

I downloaded music I bought online and copied it to my Google drive once. This was years back, mid 2010s, this album just came out for my favorite artist back then. I’d downloaded it back to another pc and a week later - poof. No more mp3s. @.@

I honestly never knew what scientology was based on until my SO sent me this video. Their lore is so loony, you would mistake it for the cringiest of badly-written fantasy sci fi, even more embarrassing than the Book of Mormon.
And if you join, all you’d become is a ripe slave for their abuse. Yes, scientology is straight up bad.

My take is that bluesky is owned by a corporation making a protocol (AT protocol) to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
See example, Microsoft trying to convert the internet to only run on its own browser. Or Google enticing websites to use AMP, only to entrap those sites to only use Google’s ad services.
When profit drives development, enshittification is not a matter of if, but when.
How is development of ActivityPub protocol funded? Volunteers and their grants, crowdfunding, and enthusiasm, as far as I can tell. @.@ Idk if it’s a reason objectively worth supporting FOSS for, but I love when people pool together for their community’s greater good.
Why make a bluesky account when you have all the different platforms that already run ActivityPub? Want a youtube replacement? Peertube!
For Reddit, Lemmy.
Instagram, Pixelfed.
Twitter, Mastodon.
Interact with all on the same account? Sure!But with bluesky? Nope.
