Side thought: what are they gonna do with content that violates the site's rules?
For example, knowing Tumblr audience and current rules, many will rush for uncensored NSFW content, and Fedi's got plenty of that.

i imagine that by "ActivityPub for Tumblr" they mean a buried option in your settings to monodirectionly bridge your blog to ap
They're wanting threads users to interact with their site.
migrating my entire dying website to wordpress so I can use a protocol that is not only open source (negating the entire need to migrate to wordpress) but will immediately defederate with anything even vaguely corporate is surely something
expect the entire domain to be hijacked by a supplements Ponzi scheme by the weekend.
Tumblr is owned by Automattic, which runs WordPress.com. Tumblr migrating to WordPress is not a surprise in the slightest.
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.
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'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.
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.
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
Man, I remember looking up all sort of fantasy and cyberpunk artwork on Tumblr back in the day. Haven't been on there in several years though.
That'll fix the authwall, then?

I hope it's implemented better than Facebook's version with the ability to see other Fediverse posts in Tumblr and follow right from the app. I always liked Misskey/Starkey because I felt it was the next generation of Tumblr but it would be great to see more Misskey posters in Tumblr.
