4chan: dead (and good riddance).

tumblr: Everyone's fired, probably shutting down?

wordpress: Run by the psycho who bought & fired tumblr, and is having a war with an ISP.

tooter, blooski, etc.: Ha no. Stick my dick in stupid twice, shame on me.

masto: Run by a doofus who thinks corpo scum are his friends & the "charity" is not ownership.

Well, what the fuck now‽ I gotta move my blog off to something safe. Just dhtml in Apache again? Go back to Gopher? I dunno.

@Andreas M. Heitmann :batman: Define "similar".

As for Tumblr: For one, there's Wafrn which aims to be a direct drop-in replacement for Tumblr. Downside: The project website is also the only instance (so far?).

As for Facebook: @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ has spent the last 15 years developing about a dozen Fediverse server applications which are (also) designed to be alternatives to Facebook. Today, there are still Friendica (2010), Hubzilla (2012/2015), (streams) (2021) and Forte (2024).

However, if what you're looking for is "literally Facebook without Musk and with ActivityPub", as in a 1:1 Facebook clone that looks like Facebook and feels like Facebook just like Bluesky looks and feels like early Twitter, then you're out of luck. All four are "better than Facebook" Facebook alternatives that add useful stuff on top, but that don't look and feel close enough to Facebook for nobody to have to learn something new. The closest you'll get is Friendica if the node in question has the Bookface theme installed.

Even then you'll have to "install" Friendica on your iPhone as a progressive Web app through Safari and use its own Web interface (which is mobile-compatible). There is no native app for Friendica for the iPhone in the Apple App Store. There's one in development, but it's far from complete. And while Friendica supports Mastodon apps, a Mastodon app only covers a small fraction of Friendica's features, it leaves out some features that you'll need daily (simply because Mastodon doesn't have them), and I'm not sure if there's any Mastodon app for the iPhone that works with Friendica; it has officially only ever been tested with Android.

What's wrong with all those micro-blogging plattforms that were once good to great and now are either gone or so complicated in managing accounts that simplicity is missing and therefore it's a chore to use them?

After many years I tried to befriend #tumblr again and what can I say? The management of my account went totally wrong! I have now another account which I didn't want but was built by TUMBLR accidently because I can't log into my account I started on my iPhone. (1/4)

🇬🇧 During the course of transcribing Legion's dialogue from #MassEffect2, I may actually have solved a mystery I've been puzzling over for a long time: the flashing of Legion's small headlights.
Because between the various versions of ME, the essential question is literally: to flash or not to flash?

🇩🇪 Während ich Legions Dialoge aus #MassEffect 2 transkribiert habe, habe ich möglicherweise ein Mysterium gelöst, über das ich schon lange Zeit gerätselt habe: das Blinken von Legions kleinen Kopflichtern.
Denn bei den verschiedenen Versionen von ME lautet die essenzielle Frage buchstäblich: blinken oder nicht blinken?

Tumblr“To flash or not to flash” - Legion’s headlights in various versions of ME2I can’t believe it - guys, I may have finally solved the big mystery I’ve been puzzling over ever since I got into Mass Effect: the flashing of Legion’s headlights. You may remember that two years...

@Kote Isaev @Djembro, RO, supports 🇺🇦🇬🇪 Not to mention that Tumblr, just like Facebook and every last blog out there, uses a one-post-many-comments conversation model whereas Mastodon hangs on to Twitter's loose strings of posts.

If you want that conversation model and full HTML text formatting and images embedded within the post and development being done outside the USA, your only choices is the family of "better-than-Facebook Facebook alternatives": Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte. Friendica is developed by two Germans with the code on GitHub in the USA. Hubzilla is developed by a German and a Norwegian with the code on Framagit in France. (streams) and Forte are both developed by their and Friendica's and Hubzilla's creator in Australia with the code on Codeberg in Germany.

None of them is a Facebook clone, though, and nobody should expect either to be a full-on Tumblr clone. UI and UX are a lot different. Also, all four have quite a bit of a learning curve, regardless of where you come from.

Lastly, readily available native third-party mobile apps only exist for Friendica and for Android. There's an iPhone app for Friendica in development, but it's a long way to daily-driver material. Friendica is also the only one of the bunch with the Mastodon client API, but Mastodon apps can only cover a tiny fraction of what Friendica can do, namely what Mastodon can do, too.

As for apps for the other three, no dice. There's no native mobile app even in sight, also because such an app would end up an absolute monster. And none of them supports Mastodon apps and most likely never will because the Mastodon client API covers even fewer of their features. In fact, it does not cover a lot of critical everyday features, so trying to use one of the three through a Mastodon app makes no sense whatsoever. You're better off with the Web interface either way.

@Kote Isaev Wafrn mimics Tumblr with a Fediverse connection. But AFAIK, Wafrn itself is still centralised.

I've read somewhere that another Tumblr alternative is in the making, but I don't remember any name.

And Automattic wants to move Tumblr itself to WordPress' technology, including ActivityPub connectivity.

Crossposting attempt 2:

Posting from
goblin.band to tumblr, from firefox cuz goblin doesn't work with moshidon or tusky.

Hoping to qrt this on my blorbo account, and see if I can reply to people on goblin/fedi on tumblr

Notes: UI is weird on mobile, screen doesnt stretch far enough to see the post button so I have to turn on desktop mode to press post. But ofc desktop mode is too big and the text is too tiny to use regularly.

goblin.bandgoblin.bandGoblin band is an attempt to replicate the collective creative energy that happens on tumblr and take it to the fediverse

I had planned to do a #tumblr backup today, since some people seem to recommend it.
But then I noticed that I seem to not have very much room on my PC anymore. So I guess I have to kinda clean up.

What is the most close analog to #Tumblr in the #Fediverse ?
What are European alternatives to Tumblr?

I asking this after seen some news on Tumblr that Meta got angry on Tumblr because people within Gen Z age group run from Meta social media en masse. Reason from news: "Gen Z run to last social media which did not worsen by Millennials"...
And this means #Meta plans to attack Tumblr one way or another.

Merged repost of my Tumblr post here:
