Good good! Let the exodus to Lemmy begin!

Damn this is huge.

I use it to get the latest news on NFL and NBA. Otherwise it’s gone.

Watch me delete X faster than you can say “money” Elon.

There’s another Rand? I must meet this man over at Wheeloftime!

Funny thing is this kind of behaviour isn’t unique to Musk. A lot of entrepreneurs and CEOs seem to have similar kind of attitude. They want everything done cheaper faster and there’s no 2 ways about it. It’s their way or highway. If shit goes to hell it’s other people’s heads that roll.

My comment was incomplete. While tumblr does a great job of stifling the average user’s ability to POST anything “sexy”, they seem to have zero ability to manage porn bots. I believe they are intentionally letting porn pots run free in order to sustain user base. Porn bots jumped again after they brought out new community standards last fall or early this year.

If you’re just a porn consumer, it’s fine. If you want to post porn and you know how to evade tumblr’s detection schemes, it’s great for you.

By the way, Matt Mullenweg has a poll going on if he should step down LUL! https://www.tumblr.com/mattmullenwegceo/722564072820883456/should-i-step-down-as-head-of-tumblr-i-will-abide

Porn is back yes but they are still pretty strict. If they catch you posting porn, you’re banned. If your post has a nipple poking up on a shirt, that post gets banned. If the clothes are too tight, that post gets banned. If you post too many posts that are banned per above criteria, your account is banned.

If Tumblr doesn’t go too extreme in any of these directions, I can accept federation with them. My main gripe with interacting with corporations is that they likely want to dictate the rules of the Fediverse.

So I can tell you Tumblr’s policies are a copy of Instagram. It is even more conservative than gram. It doesn’t want any nudity or porn or even bikini pictures. Sees a nip through a shirt, gets shadow banned. They outright ban users for it. But their bots can’t handle porn bots. So average casual user/blogger will banned while porn bots proliferate.

Think of it as fortuitous timing. Reddit is the old internet. Lemmy is the new world. You are one of its early movers. Come fill this place.

Good! Reddit mods have too much power. They act like little gods.

Question. Doesn’t reddit or archive sites still have the posts and comments even after this wipe is done?
