@oct2pus I think you also missed that it compares to Twitter as a migration destination, not Tumblr itself

@impiaaa Side note: I hope you don't really think I am taking advantage of people here. I am taking advantage of the opportunity this event presents, by reacting to it, but if you say you can't offer solutions when a problem happens, it erases a lot of opportunities for improvement. There's Twitter passively gaining from this, there's other silos writing blog posts like this. I don't think it's better for anyone if they gain a stronger foothold than they already do.

@impiaaa No, I am explicitly saying that people right now who had their blogs deleted are deciding to move to Twitter. How is them moving to Twitter better than moving to Mastodon? Their particular usage of tumblr is such that it is replaceable by Twitter. Then how is it not replaceable by Mastodon? Other tumblr features have nothing to do with this.

@impiaaa That is to say, while Tumblr and Twitter/Mastodon have some difference in presentation, especially in terms of custom HTML templates, the use case between those platforms is almost identical.

@impiaaa I'm doing it in reaction to this

@bunnylyn omg I love her

@andi It's a bit of both. It would be really easy to distribute favourites but we keep it more low key between the author and the favourit..er? They're not super hidden but e.g. there's no way to list all of someone's favourites.

@andi Oh, got what you were saying. Yeah, you only know about local favourites and boosts. It's only complete information if it's the toot's origin.

@andi It does though? favourites_count. When does it not?
