#Tumblr just confirmed (again) that it will be enabling ActivityPub. Which means that Tumblr is definitely joining the #Fediverse! https://wip.tumblr.com/post/773574776721702912/about-a-year-ag...
I’ve posted photos daily for 2 years now and I’m getting reasonable levels of likes/reposts. Judging from the stuff I’ve heard from other folks, these levels have fallen a lot from the site’s heyday, but there’s still a whole bunch of users. Just a hunch, but I guess the Twitter/Facebook shenanigans probably drove more people back to Tumblr, too.
Its extremely popular now. Never really died, just became less relevant. Automattic bought it, and matt (nutcase who owns wordpress) said he’d add activitypub support.
I started using it regularly after many previous failed attempts when Twitter died. Same for Pinterest oddly. I use them for similar but distinct things.
Is Tumblr still a thing? I thought it died after the christofascists banned porn. I haven’t been back since that day and heard it had died.
Tumblr is absolutely still a thing, my wife uses it all the time.

I think they might have softened the TOS for that?
They did, frontal nudity and artistic nudity are allowed.
Must have, I still have a porn Tumblr that absolutely sees fresh content
