Hmm. Dows Mastodon work as an alternative to Tumblr, for those of you who use Tumblr? Or is there something missing? :/
@Angle Seems to be more of an alternative to Twitter, Tumblr is more long form blogging. I use both Twitter and Tumblr.
@Kaelyrhn Mmm, gotcha. Do you think Mastodon could replace that functionality? Or would it just be awkward without heavily reworking the UI?
@Angle @MariBari Really long posts might make the current Mastodon UI awkward. That's really the only functionality I think Tumblr have that Mastodon doesn't. Though they might do them different they both have commenting, liking, and sharing, but so does Twitter and Facebook.
And yeah as @MariBari said embedded media is something Tumblr is good at. I also like the way of formatting posts.
Mastodon is more micro-blogging, like Twitter.
That's was long.
@Kaelyrhn @Angle Definitely. Now, if Mastodon had a federated sister site for proper blogging, then we'd be off to the races.
...Then again, it'd be much easier to just make a "real blog" on Wordpress or something at that point. Since a blog hosted on its own domain is basically the same functionality.
