I wonder where the fandoms and the artist communities are going to go now that they just opened the floodgates for the massive amount of harassment those communities tend to deal with.
I presume some are going to return to Tumblr, but hopefully they make the switch to Mastodon.
Yeah. And mass exodus of all trans people from Twitter in 3, 2...
I think Tumblr has been doing really well with Twitter falling apart lately, in general. Including in their mocking it by selling like 20+ different deliberately meaningless check marks.
I think probably more will go to Tumblr than Mastodon, but I think some will use both. I've found I enjoy Tumblr these days, provided I manage my feed curation well and don't allow it to start handing me shit to be mad about and over-engage with. There's a lot of cool science content on there, and such.
