Sounds stupid. I wonder if this makes it easier to sell the content to AI scrapers?

It makes sense that they’d want to move it to a single codebase rather than have both Wordpress code and Tumblr code in the same organization.

Anyone else old enough to remember when Wordpress was called b2? Good times.

Tumblr’s codebase is also both quite old and infamously terrible, even if it’s from being shuffled around companies a bunch.

Centralising its backend into one platform doesn’t like too bad of an idea.
