Anyone know if any of the wrapper/replacement web clients for Masto add toot scheduling capabilities? Tusky has it, but not the web client, and @dtgeek was looking for a way to make the web client do that too.
It's weird, precisely opposite how the birdsite client worked. Specifically HAD to use the web client to schedule anything, heh.
Mere Le Fey ?
@glassbottommeg @dtgeek I'm dying for drafts or a tumblr like queue for posts and reblogs x.x

Also, Tusky’s CEO just announced Tusky was back in action after being retired
Rune Skovbo Johansen
@glassbottommeg @MereLeFey @dtgeek Ah sorry I see Tusky is Android. There's no data for Android apps at the moment, but if someone was to gather the data, I'd be happy to add it to the table.
Rune Skovbo Johansen
@glassbottommeg @MereLeFey @dtgeek I made a feature comparison chart of web versus various iOS clients here in case that's of use:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1De5KRwqMIdwEryfoeBLARgxF7QgKkeOQBCilKuIdAXE/edit?usp=sharing
It does have rows about drafts and scheduling.
Megan Fox
@MereLeFey @dtgeek Tusky also has drafts, wait, does web client not save drafts either?
God, I need to compare features, or I'm gonna sit down at the web client someday for actual work on here and just be shocked heh
Tumblr joining Fedi WOULD basically mean you can just use your Tumblr though, kinda? You'd be posting from a different account, but, Masto folks could see/follow/boost them, you could even just boot yourself and like, use it as a second account? Hmm

You just got your wish. You can soon use Tumblr for the Fediverse because it’s adding Fediverse connection.
Tumblr, with 472 million registered accounts as of 2019, is an American microblogging and person to person communication site established by David Karp in 2007 & owned by Automattic, that also owns WordPress. Tumblr permits users to post media to a short-structure blog.
Please don’t miss the fact that Tumblr’s parent company, Automattic, owns WordPress which makes up roughly 40% of the internet!
With a budget that dwarfs @Gargron, we predict that #Tumblr will quickly become the #1 software used to connect to the #Fediverse / #Mastodon Network. Tumblr will be the 1st major corporate social media to implement
Matt Mullenweg is the CEO of Tumblr that made the announcement yesterday: https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/21/tumblr-to-add-support-for-activitypub-the-social-protocol-powering-mastodon-and-other-apps/
TincFox ?? :veripawed1:
@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey
Oh nice! I was discussing ActivityPub recently, talking about a possibility where bigger sites supported it for a best of both worlds...
...but I was expecting cohost to be the one to do it, not Tumblr! This is fascinating news.
admin
I apologize Hypermug ?

@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey you tagged the wrong gargron

@admin I were actually considering getting a Tumblr account to follow certain people as that other place is smoldering to a crisp, glad I'll be potentially able to do so without having another login to worry about.
Mere Le Fey ?
I mean that awnser is simple. People are not fleeing the Bird Site to word press platforms. They want the publicity for Tumblr as the Social media that many are flocking to in wake of the twits death @Gargron @admin @dtgeek @paoloredaelli @gamingonlinux @glassbottommeg
Paolo Redaelli
@admin
I find puzzling that Automatic is adding #ActivityPub in #Tumblr before #WordPress, their "flagship" product where it has been supported with a plugin
@glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey @gamingonlinux
admin
Bingo & brilliant Mere Le Fey ?
Callie
@TheLastofHisName @admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey as someone in another thread mentioned, they still won't control the Fediverse and should it become problematic they could easily be defederated. So while caution is warranted I don't think it would signal the end.
Dane FREE PALESTINE
@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Part of me is wary when corporate social media wants to dip its toes in the #fediverse
admin
I think you hit it on the nose Callum ?
Threat level is minimum.
Paolo Redaelli
@MereLeFey A simple, reasonable and plausible answer indeed. They have been advertizing Tumblr as a "safe harbour" for people fleeing from Twitter... With the exception of porn I never heard of Tumblr censoring anyone... @Gargron @admin @dtgeek @gamingonlinux @glassbottommeg
admin
Not much different than #Pleroma that has a character limit of 5,000 compared to Mastodon’s 500 character limit. Pleroma already workes well with Pleroma so likely Tumblr will be able to also make it work.

@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey
Tumblr isn't a microblogging site. You can write long posts there.

There’s a new “CW” Content Warning feature at Tumblr that so far has allowed light porn through when activated. This “CW” feature is different from the “Trigger Warning” that Tumblr already had.
I’m not advocating that Tumblr should allow porn, just reporting what I’ve observed.
Drewdowling
@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron@mastodon.tech @MereLeFey Does tumbler still ban porn? Asking for a friend ?
admin
Most of the time, your right about deserved corporate suspicion.
However, CEO of Tumblr, Matt Mullenweg is all about open-source. In his July 2022 interview with TechCrunch, long before Musk bought Twitter, Matt laid out his goal to make Tumblr open-source: https://techcrunch.com/2022/07/05/matt-mullenweg-wordpress-found/
So I join your caution with most tech CEOs but I have a lot of trust for Matt #Mullenweg: https://youtu.be/AaacWgrCX3Y

@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey on one hand, "yay public legitimacy".
On the other there were literally posts not to long ago talking about how free spaces like the fediverse have existed before and corporations began with the "helpful" public legitimacy until everyone was using their better funded app to access it and they just closed the door on the walled garden and snipped the open part off.
admin
Yup, I’m writing to you from Pleroma now. My thread starter post was more than 500 characters & everyone from Mastodon can read it.
As an experiment, this post is more than 500 characters, can you read it from Mastodon? https://mastodon.tech/objects/a33abcc2-a3e7-44f8-9b52-fc0fc7b678ac
Sukrit Tan
@admin I’ve never tried, but what happens if a long post post from pleroma pops up on Mastodon? Can you see the entire post?
c-x-b :verified: :verified:
@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey oh god I thought this was an elaborate bit at first, but that is a real article with some real tweets in it all right
admin
Of course, anytime ?
Sukrit Tan
@admin I can, and I wouldn’t have guessed it was from Pleroma if you hadn’t told me, just displays as a regular (albeit long) Mastodon post. This is all rather neat!
Thank you for replying!
Paul Wilde
admin
Thank you, wasn’t aware of the 10,000 character limit for all of Fediverse. What is the character limit of Tumblr?
SpaceDragon
@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron@mastodon.tech @MereLeFey
Automattic owns WordPress.com – not WordPress.org the open source software.
Understanding this is crucial. WP is a decentralized initiative.
Please acknowledge and support the thousands of contributors who actively build and support the software!
admin
Excellent distinction! Thank you for pointing this out
admin
I agree ?
Adamas Nemesis
@admin Incredible news.
admin
It will be a blast to follow this integration of Tumblr and the many new faces it brings!
Dylan
@admin @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey this is actually super cool, curious how the two will interact and merge.
Paul Wilde
Tris Hussey
@admin @ticktok @glassbottommeg @dtgeek @Gargron @MereLeFey I agree. I've known Matt for more than a decade. He's one of the good ones.
admin
Tris, would you be willing to email Matt your top 5 questions about Tumblr’s Integration with ActivityPub & share what you’re allowed to with the community?
Questions like:
Tris Hussey
@admin honestly I haven’t read up enough about it to ask smart questions. Matt is generally responsive on social, I think he’d answer your questions. I doubt an email from me would even get through the tons of emails he gets. I have another idea though…
admin
I’m all ears ? to your other idea?
I messaged him yesterday & today to his Twitter account (where he made the announcement) but he hasn’t responded yet. I’ll also send him my questions on Tumblr.
admin
Tris Hussey
@admin @donncha do you think Matt would be able to talk about this? Maybe a post is coming?
Arin
These are great questions. If I were Matt, I’d be very careful in answering them. There has been talks about #tumblr introducing #ActivityPub protocol for some time now, but we have not seen that coming, have we?
tallship
Yes there's been several entities expressing intent without having production assets coming to fruition.
But perhaps the time is right for many of these platforms to leverage the possibilities that such integration can do for expanding their audiences and offer a renewed interest in their traditional offerings.
Nice observation, thank you for pointing that out ?

On top of that, there's already someone maintaining a plugin for self-hosted blogs and higher tier "dot com" users. If the Tumblr experiment works, the implementation in the flagship would be relatively cheap @MereLeFey @Gargron@mastodon.tech @admin @dtgeek @paoloredaelli @gamingonlinux @glassbottommeg
