Why do people who post tumblr post screenshots act as if they're a long lost civilization. people still post there. half the "ancient forgotten tumblr posts" are from like 2019 onwards

I'm pretty sure there are only a few stragglers left there.

it's way more active than people think it is. it's just a bit of a closed garden app that is mainly text-based, so posts only get shared onto other sites via screenshots, and people always assume that those screenshots are ancient relics from like 2008 but really most of the time they're from like a couple of months ago

as a side note, the CEO said that they're going to implement activitypub into tumblr so hopefully in the future they'll be an integration between tumblr and the fediverse, which would be cool

Now that I can get behind. I wouldn't mind welcoming tumblr into fediverse

I mean if it starts working with ActivityPub, wouldn't that mean others can clone Tumblr and it'll all work together?

Well this story is probably over 2000 years old
