I alwyas thought I did learn more from winning than from losing for future success.

#32From a live-stream from the Tumblr staff convention this year, their CEO: > Yeah, so right now, we're burning. Which means spending more than we make. About 30 million per year more than we make. > So, that's a lot. We can't do that forever and so that's why we're really trying to figure out things that y'all would value.

Didn't Tumblr do a whole "alienate your user base" thing like Reddit did recently? They got rid of all the racey hot content and basically made it super boring no?
This always seems like a really bad idea.

Things are pretty grim when you're asking your own staff to purchase merch because "every little bit helps".

#34Wow, threads on the front page, is this the first time that organically happened (ie. Not the launch announcement)

That's not quite accurate about Reddit. It only made it through by purging dozens to hundreds of the more controversial NSFW subreddits. Most were justified, but they definitely bent to advertisers and PR like anyone else.
They also stopped allowing NSFW content to appear on the front page of r/all.
You also can't view NSFW content without being logged in any longer.

#36Anyone knows when will Threads be available in the EU? :(
Don't worry, you're not missing much, it's really dead out there.

No American media company wants to touch the EU now.
Wow, Facebook and Instagram finally pulled out of the EU?
No, but thanks to a devil's brew of knee-jerk moral panic and regulatory capture, nobody else can afford to enter your market. You're stuck with the incumbents.
Sorry, but you can't say you weren't warned. We're seeing the same thing happen with AI now.

#38Remember when people talked about Tumblr replacing Twitter as Elon Musk took over? Remember their pathetic bluecheck stunt? What's wrong with this organization? How did they fail to capitalize on such a massive opportunity?
Twitter is being replaced the way Craigslist was replaced, gradually and by many options instead of one. There won't be a single new sudden Twitter replacement. That's a good thing, I use a bigger variety of sources than I did before quitting Twitter. I don't rely so much on any one.

Bluesky is an incumbent? Because that's where I am mostly now.

This was live-streamed publicly and advertised to users. I didn’t make that very clear.
