I'm really impressed with Steph's analysis. (is she on here yet?) #Pinterest is mostly shoppable and sponsored content. Social media should connect us with other people and their ideas. It's more fun, and healthy that way.

I would love to see this kind of analysis of #facebook, #instagram, #tumblr and #bluesky #sewing #knitting #fiberarts

There are more interesting graphs like this one in her video:

Organic 31.4%
Sponsored 36.8%
Shoppable 32.8%

Text: Pinterest massively prioritizes sponsored and shoppable content. The vast majority of content you see (nearly 70%) directly links to shopping pages. You will see more Sponsored content than Organic images! — A pie chart of Pinterest posts by type.

Screenshot of a tumblr post by machine-saint

I don't get why social media is so hard. all people want is

• the polished Ul, video hosting, and large user base of a VC startup
• the ideological commitment to openness of a bunch of leftist hackers
• moderators that act with clarity and have a well listed set of rules
• but that also kick out people that fail the vibe check even if they haven't actually broken any rules
• without actually having to pay money for it or look at advertisements

seems simple to me??? — Screenshot of a tumblr post by machine-saint I don't get why social media is so hard. all people want is • the polished Ul, video hosting, and large user base of a VC startup • the ideological commitment to openness of a bunch of leftist hackers • moderators that act with clarity and have a well listed set of rules • but that also kick out people that fail the vibe check even if they haven't actually broken any rules • without actually having to pay money for it or look at advertisements seems simple to me???

This statement about the entitlement of privilege mindset floors me every time it shows up. Must pin.

#tumblr #philosophy #mindfulness

In 2015, Username “stimmyabby” posted the following on Tumblr:

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority"

and sometime people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you” and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Username “do-as-youre-told” then replies:

This is so well put I am stunned

We see this cycle so often.

#Bluesky #Cohost #Twitter #Tumblr #SocialMedia

Flow chart cycle. Top (start) is "popular platform gets worse", flowing to "users move to alternative centralized platform", flowing to "alternative platform becomes more popular". Here the flow splits: up to "newly popular platform is sold, takes VC, etc." which then flows up to "popular platform gets worse" again, or left to "alternative platform runs out of cash or volunteer energy" which then flows up to "users return to popular platform" and then back to "popular platform gets worse".

Scoperto poco fa (c'è la app su f-droid).
Non lo conoscevo ma sembra interessante, anche se ho esplorato poco e non credo che farò un altro account ma se qualcunə rimpiange Tumblr...
Se lo provate poi fate sapere com'è 😆

Hi, fedi! I'm crawling out of my hermit hole to share my new app, TumblBee, with you all 🐝

https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee

TumblBee is a pay-what-you-want cross-platform app for exporting your original #Tumblr posts (and pages) to Markdown or HTML. Back up your content and browse it locally, or export to Markdown and drop your posts into your favorite static site generator. (There's even a guide to exporting for Obsidian, if that's your thing.)

If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear about it! Boosts are, as always, hugely appreciated 💕 Thanks so much!

My Firefox addon got approved! It ensures i.imgur.com, preview.redd.it, i.reddit.com and media.tumblr.com actually send you an image when visiting links instead of redirecting to a page with a bunch of proprietary javascript!

Version 1.1.0 of TumblBee is now available:

https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee

This update adds support for resuming unfinished exports, plus a few bug fixes and other improvements.

More (and exciting!) updates to come very soon! (I hope!) Watch this space 👀

Happy Friday, fedi! Version 1.2.0 of TumblBee is now available!

https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee

A few small but nice tweaks in this update! You can now exclude empty reblogs from your exports, and self-reblogs will now link to the exported original post where possible. (Also: some new goodies for those of you who like finding Easter eggs. 🥚)

nothing like finding a new blog with absolute 🤌 taste in American gothic art, and seeing some reblogs from an insufferable girl you follow with absolute 🤌 taste in dreamlike nighttime scenes & distant smeared subsets & birds w/gaunt branches to make a shitty couple days more bearable.. #tumblr

So, for all of the #django and #wagtail developers out there who would like to see more integration between the existing web and the #fediverse, could you all please take a look at https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/discussions/9732#discussioncomment-13650918 and give some support for this idea?

Looks like #tumblr is (again!) dialing back its plan to integrate with AP, so maybe this would bring some more interest into other alternatives.

Tumblr to Fediverse: "It's complicated" 💔

Automattic puts WordPress migration on hold to focus on user requests instead. CEO Mullenweg says they'd implement ActivityPub directly if there's enough demand though.

Time for the Fediverse to slide into those DMs? 📱

Miss Tumblr after leaving big social? Well, Fediverse has its own Tumblr, and it's called Wafrn. It still seems small and unknown, so spread the word to those fedifriends of yours who long for Tumblr.
