Tumblr is making the move to WordPress. After its 2019 acquisition by WordPress.com parent company Automattic in a $3 million fire sale, the new owner has focused on improving Tumblr’s platform and growing its revenue. Now, Automattic will shift Tumblr’s back end over to WordPress, Automattic said in a blog post published on Wednesday.

        I didn’t know Automattic bought them and I’m kind of meh about WordPress. It’s really bloated.

          WordPress has many issues, but this also a good sign that they are thinking about adding Activity Pub support for Tumblr. As WordPress already has the functionality for their own sites.
