God I hope my instance defederates with them.
Why? Tumblr is terrible, but in a good way.
Stay terrible fam.
Because Automattic owns Tumblr and is run by a douchebag transphobe that is also destroying WordPress. (Though, to be fair WordPress is fucking trash)
No, tumblr is terrible in a 'hyperventilating gaslighting cliques of pretentious elitist malignant narcissists acting like cult leaders and followers' way.
That’s what I said, good, yes
You could just block them yourself if you don't like leftist spaces that much
Tumblr doesn't really strike me as leftist, so much as having a low signal:noise ratio
In the early-to-mid 2010s Tumblr was mainly associated with "social justice" types of people, it seems to have become a lot less relevant at some point in the late 2010s.
That would be when they banned porn in 2018.
probably, I remember something along those lines
What's wrong?
Tumblr on fediverse by default will increase variation of community in fediverse. Especially, fediverse right now is still mainly filled with American or European related topics.
Instead of hoping your instance does something, just make your own instance. That's the whole idea.
Or just don’t follow anyone there? Nobody is forcing you to read posts on any federated instance. I am shocked by the kind of egocentrism that leads you to think that if you don’t like people on a given instance, you should prevent everyone else on your instance from interacting with them.
