this could not be timed worse for Tumblr which is in huge hot water with its userbase already for its CEO breaking his sabbatical to ban a prominent trans user for allegedly threatening him (in a cartoonish manner), and then spending a week personally justifying it increasingly wildly across several platforms. the rumors had already been swirling that this would occur, but this just cements that they were correct
Glad I have lemmy and sharkey in these trying times
At least it’s not going to get sold here, or on Mastodon I guess, but it’s not like the data couldn’t get scraped by an unethical actor, right? 🤔
At least this way they’ll have to work to scrape it instead of getting it for “free”
That’s something I guess 😅👍
At least the fediverse admins are trying to stop AI and spammers, for those of you that don’t know Tumblr has a huge spam problem
