Ok. Just culled ~20,000 of 25,000 #tumblr posts accumulated via #RSS over a month. I've gotta get to work on my own project applying basic statistics to this stuff. Think "reverse chronological + $all_your_own_filtering_and_sorting_and_bucketing". Not sure if I should do that within the confines of a #thunderbird add-on, or try some other approach. I really, really want to be able to use #sql for this stuff. It's a natural fit. But #sqlite seems to be a no-go for #WebExtensions. There is only #IndexedDB, which, in my limited experience with it, is absolute garbage to work with.

Here's an idea of what sort of ads Matt Mullenweg allows on Tumblr (cw: graphic violent content / gun violence)

tumblr.com/thisismissem/781980

For far too long these ads have been persistently running on tumblr despite reports of their harmful and graphically violent nature. As I point out, as a user I would be expected to apply a community label for mature / violence to post the video of that ad that runs natively on tumblr.

It's rather disgraceful, and sure, you might not have much pick in ads, but the least you could do is make sure they're not literally gun violence.

4chan: dead (and good riddance).

tumblr: Everyone's fired, probably shutting down?

wordpress: Run by the psycho who bought & fired tumblr, and is having a war with an ISP.

tooter, blooski, etc.: Ha no. Stick my dick in stupid twice, shame on me.

masto: Run by a doofus who thinks corpo scum are his friends & the "charity" is not ownership.

Well, what the fuck now‽ I gotta move my blog off to something safe. Just dhtml in Apache again? Go back to Gopher? I dunno.

Replied to AndyGER :verified_coffee:
@Andreas M. Heitmann :batman: Define "similar".

As for Tumblr: For one, there's Wafrn which aims to be a direct drop-in replacement for Tumblr. Downside: The project website is also the only instance (so far?).

As for Facebook: @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ has spent the last 15 years developing about a dozen Fediverse server applications which are (also) designed to be alternatives to Facebook. Today, there are still Friendica (2010), Hubzilla (2012/2015), (streams) (2021) and Forte (2024).

However, if what you're looking for is "literally Facebook without Musk and with ActivityPub", as in a 1:1 Facebook clone that looks like Facebook and feels like Facebook just like Bluesky looks and feels like early Twitter, then you're out of luck. All four are "better than Facebook" Facebook alternatives that add useful stuff on top, but that don't look and feel close enough to Facebook for nobody to have to learn something new. The closest you'll get is Friendica if the node in question has the Bookface theme installed.

Even then you'll have to "install" Friendica on your iPhone as a progressive Web app through Safari and use its own Web interface (which is mobile-compatible). There is no native app for Friendica for the iPhone in the Apple App Store. There's one in development, but it's far from complete. And while Friendica supports Mastodon apps, a Mastodon app only covers a small fraction of Friendica's features, it leaves out some features that you'll need daily (simply because Mastodon doesn't have them), and I'm not sure if there's any Mastodon app for the iPhone that works with Friendica; it has officially only ever been tested with Android.

What's wrong with all those micro-blogging plattforms that were once good to great and now are either gone or so complicated in managing accounts that simplicity is missing and therefore it's a chore to use them?

After many years I tried to befriend #tumblr again and what can I say? The management of my account went totally wrong! I have now another account which I didn't want but was built by TUMBLR accidently because I can't log into my account I started on my iPhone. (1/4)

🇬🇧 During the course of transcribing Legion's dialogue from #MassEffect2, I may actually have solved a mystery I've been puzzling over for a long time: the flashing of Legion's small headlights.
Because between the various versions of ME, the essential question is literally: to flash or not to flash?

🇩🇪 Während ich Legions Dialoge aus #MassEffect 2 transkribiert habe, habe ich möglicherweise ein Mysterium gelöst, über das ich schon lange Zeit gerätselt habe: das Blinken von Legions kleinen Kopflichtern.
Denn bei den verschiedenen Versionen von ME lautet die essenzielle Frage buchstäblich: blinken oder nicht blinken?

Tumblr“To flash or not to flash” - Legion’s headlights in various versions of ME2I can’t believe it - guys, I may have finally solved the big mystery I’ve been puzzling over ever since I got into Mass Effect: the flashing of Legion’s headlights. You may remember that two years...

I had planned to do a #tumblr backup today, since some people seem to recommend it.
But then I noticed that I seem to not have very much room on my PC anymore. So I guess I have to kinda clean up.
