Why get a Mastodon when this is happening?

 Twitter: Immolates under Elon's piss-poor management.
Twitter users: flock to Tumblr to see what's been happening there.
Tumblr: I made you a new Martin Scorsese movie, would you like to see it?
Twitter: WTAF????
Tumblr: It comes with 200 fanfics and Marxist film theory discourse.

Facebook, over in the corner: probably doing a genocide or something idk

Seriously though the Martin Scorsese movie is incredible.

I hear Tumblr is working towards being intercompatible with Mastodon and I welcome it.

I like it being its own weird hellsite though.

The Tumblr dude said that he was going to make Tumblr inter-operable with ActivityPub. That would mean that Tumblrs and Mastodon instances could have some cross-communication.

Both Tumblr and Mastodon gained more community in Twitter's epic fail. By adopting cross-compatibility, they may keep those communities going for longer.

The way that you can do the user name tag here for twitter or tumblr. Would that even be possible for Mastodon? Those types of little features that help communities talk to each other can lift up all the communities.

I think both Tumblr and Mastodon can do RSS, so there are some arguments for whether this is really necessary or not.

I think part of what makes Tumblr great is that it's weird, isolated, and unwieldy. The ideal thing would be to make each update clunkier.
