Fuck Tumblr. Fuck WordPress. Fuck Automattic. And fuck Matt.

Tumblr has some interesting content from users, but the platform is awful and it’s even worse since Automattic bought it. Also, the trend to put the entire contents of the post in hashtags is flat-out stupid and infuriating.

Automatic is a tremendously terrible company, and Matt is an egotistical pile of garbage.

It’s really not worth the effort. Nothing will change, and there will always be others.

The irony of that suggestion is very amusing, because the moderator/admin of that community/instance is one of those people.

Two years for me, too. But I disagree that it’s nicer than on Reddit. The way Lemmy works fosters the development of cliques. Also, with much fewer users it makes it so that ‘power’ users wind up having a weird cult-like following that boosts their posts/comments and suppresses anyone who dares to point out when those people mistreat other people and/or break the rules that are clearly applied selectively.

I’m curious why you’d like to move away from .world? I’m mostly lazy, but I also have not found another instance that even seems worth the effort.

Because Automattic owns Tumblr and is run by a douchebag transphobe that is also destroying WordPress. (Though, to be fair WordPress is fucking trash)

The trick, plumbercraic, is not minding that they will be mad.

Do we know if any of the other patron saints killed another person to attain their sainthood?

The recent headlines saying “discord will be showing ads” is just intentionally misleading. No one even bothered to read the articles. They just saw the headline that agreed “discord bad” and didn’t even question it.

Discord already has “ads” in different forms that are even more like ads than what those articles were talking about. They promote games and services as a “perk” for nitro. They also advertise all over for their paid stuff, like Nitro and profile decorations.

“Federation is the future” says someone that uses it and would benefit from it

Sounds like it was a PITA to make

Those all work on Sync
