Very exciting news about #Ghost, the blogging software I use for my website, beta testing their new social web integration! Activating it enables direct interaction with blogs on #Wordpress and soon #Tumblr, #Mastodon and the whole #Fediverse, as well as #BlueSky and #Threads according to their changelog:

ghost.org/changelog/social-web

As a self-hosting user I'll have to wait for a stable release but I am thrilled!

People really be on #Tumblr stating AO3 *needs* a 'Dislike' button and also an 'Algorithm'?

Firstly it's an ARCHIVE it's not designed to algorithmically 'Feed' you 'Content'

Someone created some fiction because they are a fan of a thing FOR FREE !

And you accessed it for FREE !

And you wanna flounce on in a mash a Dislike button ?

The 'Like' button exists ! It's called Kudos

The 'Dislike' method is - Great Googly Moogly - just don't read the thing !

Gah!

In this week's Cybercultural post, I look back on Tumblr in 2012. In particular, I explore how the gifset — a collection of animated gifs — came to epitomize Tumblr's quirky appeal and helped redefine blogging. (note: I fired up my YouTube a/c for this post, recording 4 video screencasts to illustrate some beautiful 2012 gifsets) cybercultural.com/p/tumblr-201 #InternetHistory #Tumblr #gifsets

TechCrunch · Tumblr to join the fediverse after WordPress migration completes | TechCrunchSince 2022, blogging site Tumblr has been teasing its plans to integrate with the fediverse -- the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub

Since #Tumblr (owned by #MattMullenweg's #Automattic) renewed plans to join the #Fediverse, I suggest blocking them (as I have) for the same reason as #Threads: queerphobia and corporate tracking.

Just like the anti-Meta #FediPact (FediPact.online), there's now an anti-Automattic #FediPact2: FediPact2.online

Like I did with Meta, I wrote #iptables commands your #FediAdmin can use to drop all traffic to and from Automattic's IP addresses: pastebin.com/e5UKJCKU (source: AS2635)

After a long silence, Tumblr confirms it is still planning to join the fediverse.

> The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news.

Does anyone use #Tumblr anymore?

Randomly checked in there today and there are only a couple of active-ish accounts I follow, but the vast majority haven't posted in years.

I've syndicated my blog there for ages but rarely actually log in, wondering if it should be back on my radar again.

www.tumblr.comTumblrTumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your people.

I like the fact that Tumblr allows multiple different blogs under one user.

I've now set up a replacement Tumblr page for my Marine Mammal News Facebook Page.

Shame to lose the followers I've gained over the years, but given how flooded the Facebook home feed is with unwanted crap, I doubt many people see my posts these days.

Learning for the first time tonite about #Friendica - it originally sounded like a misremembering of #Friendster, the 2003 #SocialMedia precursor to #Myspace, which, as an #InternetElder, forms part of my long lived experience online. Having been so happy with my #Mastodon & now my #Bluesky experience, it's cool to see the #Fediverse also has an option for both (AND #Tumblr & #WordPress) to be supported within Friendica. I'm not scared of the install either, so this might be a fun option for me.
