Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.

this could not be timed worse for Tumblr which is in huge hot water with its userbase already for its CEO breaking his sabbatical to ban a prominent trans user for allegedly threatening him (in a cartoonish manner), and then spending a week personally justifying it increasingly wildly across several platforms. the rumors had already been swirling that this would occur, but this just cements that they were correct

    Thanks for the feedback. On the other hand it is a hassle for me to manually remove the tags as well on every comment. Especially on mobile where you cannot Ctrl+A then Backspace or Del

    I initially thought I found a setting on Friendica that would disable this, but instead it hid these from my own view. I thought this was the case only on Mastodon to ensure compatibility. Sadly, it was not, as we saw, so I toggled that setting back.

    Yes, it really sucks that Gargron’s decisions weigh so much on the Fediverse atm, as the most people are on Mastodon, and all software needs to ensure compatibility with it first.

    Hope this reply gets to you without the tags now as well. 🙂
