I was very impressed with the engagement and activity Tumblr has continued to have, and I hope that with this new ownership and investment the product will blossom.
This is interesting, given Automattic has one of the...weirdest views on free speech there is today. Near-absolute free speech, within the means of the law, with really odd exceptions.
Isn’t that majority opinion in America? I only see opposition to free speech in niche communities.
Surprised by this news. Tumblr has lost a ton of momentum since its policy change, and the site itself doesn't have a very strong "brand" audience attached to it. Fun fact: I can't recall the last time I either opened a Tumblr link or saw one in the wild. But maybe that's just me.
They had the opportunity to be the light weight blogging option. But its various design decisions seem strange to me as an outsider. Maybe it needs to revisit its past minimalism? ala old Twitter.
It was always a shame at how Verizon seemed to mismanage Tumblr so it's exciting that Tumblr may become relevant again!

Whether tech giants or smaller businesses, they all do advertisers' bidding, and the advertisers themselves have the insipid idea in their heads that having their ads show up alongside non-PC content is going to somehow associate their brand with that exact content, as if it's an endorsement.

The best analogy is that I support your right to spew your hate speech if you want, but I'm not going to open my house and let you do it in my living room.
Most sites eventually decide that they don't want to be associated with that speech and clamp down.

To be specific, is adult content going to be kosher on Tumblr again? Because if not, I'd have very little faith in the platform (and I do have an account there).
