Tumblr who? Never heard of them.
Seriously, do they think they can revive the platform 4 years after killing it?

looking at the new terms, tumblr still is not an option.
edit: it does create the seed of a suspicion that Musk and the Biden Administration are haggling behind the scenes about how much "private" censorship is going to happen. If Vine reopens and tiktok gets banned, it'll be a lot more than a seed.
This fact alone should serve as cause to fire the entire executive suite responsible for the decision. I never understood this. It made zero sense. Vine was exploding. It had completely captured the zeitgeist. Hundreds of millions of MAUs. And Twitter canned it for absolutely no reason. Pure incompetence.
Isn't Twitter moving towards allowing more things?
Not to sound rude or anything, but that ship sailed a very long time ago. No one thinks of Twitter as anything but a toxic cesspool filled with bots, bad takes, and the odd chance of getting cancelled. People still engage in it, but they do so despite knowing what the platform is.
As for what Elon will do to it, well, no one knows, but its future isn't looking great as of right now with all his recent Tweets.
I do. I keep my timeline on "latest" and it's a perfectly pleasant experience filled with only tweets from the people I've followed (and their retweets, which I also have mostly off).
Keeping the Twitter timeline on their algorithmic "home" feed is mentally/emotionally as risky, reckless, and self-destructive as drunk driving is physically, but keeping it on latest is a totally reasonable experience. I see more obnoxiously bad takes here than I do there.
That's complete bollocks IMO. Twitter has it's issues, to be sure. But honestly, if one puts any care at all into managing their experience by being selective about who they follow, and using the "mute" and "block" features frequently, Twitter can be fine. I use it mainly to follow AI/ML news and to interact with other Dolphins fans during football season. In no regard do I look at it as nothing but "a toxic cesspool...".
Now if I chose to follow a lot of people who engage in political discourse, and chose to tweet a lot about politics, I'd probably feel the same way you do. But again... "mute" and "block" are your friends.
And often popular posts on Twitter are just TikTok captures.
Not a huge surprise.
I think I first saw this posted on reddit, which was of course a screenshot of a tumblr post, which itself was a screenshot of the original twitter post.
The only thing that changes is the apps that provide screen grabs.
