Just deleted my Tumblr and I'm personally really happy right now that I never pursued WordPress dot com for my personal website.

I'm so frustrated at this whole "sell everyone else's work to AI so we can make money off them" crap. I left Meta's platforms because of that.

I dunno if those Fediverse-connected WordPress blogs are included. But it scares me that Tumblr has followed Meta's example with AI. I'm hoping now they never Federate.

Gizmodo · WordPress and Tumblr Plan to Sell User Content to AI CompaniesBy Matt Novak

@Coreyartus I had multiple blogs on WP before making a self-hosted site, and I long since set them to not be crawled, but I guess WP itself decided to ignore that directive. Past time I delete everything I can from the dot com. 😡 And my Tumblr account, which at least was never particularly active

@Coreyartus I deleted all of my post for now, but I think I will also delete the whole account 🙃 It gets increasingly hard to have fun on the internet 🥲
