TIL: Tumblr is still alive.

What's the point of it just being WordPress though? That's...odd.

They're completely incompatible systems. Tumblr was always more of a microblog while WordPress is basically a CMS, at this point. The only way to get those two to talk would be to federate, now that I think about it.

Why are you comparing them as if they're equivalent?? Wordpress is being used as a backend for tumblr

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I didn't know. I'm used to the version you self-host, not whatever the service is using.

Sorry, I mean why even call it Tumblr if it's just WordPress at this point?

The bird motif is up for grabs, call it Warbler

It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.

Yes it is, and my wife is one of two who pays a subscription to it...
