I miss Tumblr. Yes, Tumblr still exists, but the Tumblr I miss does not. This stuff makes me wonder if we'll see an ActivityPub Tumblr-clone at some point, like Lemmy/Kbin to Reddit, Mastodon to Twitter and PeerTube to YouTube.

Tumblr is adding activitypub support, hopefully this year.
Be the change you want to see
It would be so great if all these big "social media" companies just went out of business.
"Tumblr CEO announces he's really, really bad at his job."
unpopular opinion i kinda liked tumblr better after the cumbrains left
I wonder who could have foreseen the porn ban leading to this... Oh, wait.
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
Bring back the porn
They quietly have. Most of the restrictions have been rolled back
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.
So then how is it back?
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.
