MOULE | :CTRL: Album Out Now!

Since #Tumblr (owned by #MattMullenweg's #Automattic) renewed plans to join the #Fediverse, I suggest blocking them (as I have) for the same reason as #Threads: queerphobia and corporate tracking.

Just like the anti-Meta #FediPact (FediPact.online), there's now an anti-Automattic #FediPact2: FediPact2.online

Like I did with Meta, I wrote #iptables commands your #FediAdmin can use to drop all traffic to and from Automattic's IP addresses: pastebin.com/e5UKJCKU (source: AS2635)

Screenshot from https://wip.tumblr.com/post/773574776721702912/about-a-year-ago-wordpress-ceo-matt-mullenweg, where mohdasif asks: "About a year ago, WordPress CEO Matt Mullenweg mentioned that Tumblr would support the Fediverse, but there haven’t been any updates on this since then. "While the Fediverse is an interesting idea, I believe Tumblr should consider supporting AT Protocol instead. With Bluesky being the fastest-growing social media platform and the only one currently using AT Protocol, implementing this on Tumblr would not only provide strong competition but also make it easier for users to move between platforms. "This could help prevent monopolies and promote decentralized social networking. Are there any plans for Tumblr to adopt AT Protocol, or could this be considered in the future?" wip.tumblr.com replies: "Hi, @mohdasif! "Good news! While it is still on the list, the Tumblr to WordPress migration will definitely unlock ActivityPub for Tumblr! In fact, one big reason for the migration itself is to get us into the Fediverse. When that’s done, we’re in. "The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news. "Thanks for your question, and we hope it won’t be too long. Keep the questions coming!"
Screenshot of my Mastodon server's audit logs (an admin-only interface) showing that on January 27, 2025, at 9:01 PM AWST, I blocked tumblr.com from federating with my self-hosted Mastodon instance.
Screenshot from https://PasteBin.com/e5UKJCKU showing the list of all IP address ranges Automattic owns, as commands to drop all inbound and outbound traffic from them in iptables (a Linux firewall).
Screenshot showing the Mastodon user preferences menu with the following text explaining steps to mute Tumblr, with arrows pointing to each step. It reads: "How Mastodon users can mute federated Tumblr posts (NOTE: This will only hide posts from Tumblr from appearing in your timeline, only admins can block servers from federating entirely. See https://fedi.tips/blocking-and-muting-servers-on-mastodon/ for more information.) "1. Go to Preferences > Import and export > Import. 2. Click the "Import type" dropdown menu and select "Domain blocking list" 3. Create a CSV (Comma-Separated Variables) file named "blocked _domains.cv" with the following: domain,severity,public_comment,reject_media,reject_reports,obfuscate tumblr.com,suspend,,True,False,False 4. Click "Choose file" and choose "blocked_domains.csv". 5. Click "Merge". Do NOT click "Overwrite"; this will delete your previous domain blocks! 6. Click "Upload"."
