Yeah, that's why I shared that link. The same exact tumblr exists:

Unless they do something dramatically different in the next month, this can't not be tumblr 2.0.

To be fair, that's an improvement over tumblr.

Though speaking of Tumblr, there was that hilarious quote in Doctor Who in last week's episode where they travel to 2049: "Oh, Tumblr! My gram used to post pictures on tumblr!"

Hi!

With many new people joining Ello, we spent much of this week strengthening Ello's backend and adding new privacy settings.

Now you can MUTE or BLOCK another user that's bothering you by clicking this button on their profile page:

MUTE someone and you won't hear from them again.

BLOCK another user and they won't be able to see your profile & posts.


Check it out.


Ello remains invitation only. We are growing Ello organically, by asking the people we love (you) to invite people you love, and who you think would love Ello too.

Use your invites by clicking the [+] icon next to Settings, and invite some friends.

Coming soon: Notification Center, NSFW, iPhone & Android apps, and more.

Much Love,

Ello

Ello! PBC
A BETTER WAY

October 23, 2014

Hi there.

There has been some speculation in the press since our launch 11 weeks ago that Ello will someday be forced to allow paid ads on our social network.

With virtually everybody else relying on ads to make money, some members of the tech elite are finding it hard to imagine there is a better way.

But 2014 is not 2004, and the world has changed.

To assure that Ello always remains ad-free, Ello converted to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). A Benefit Corporation is a new kind of for-profit company in the USA that exists to produce a benefit for society as a whole — not just to make money for its investors.

The Ello PBC charter states in the strongest legal terms possible that:

1) Ello shall never make money from selling ads;

2) Ello shall never make money from selling user data; and

3) In the event that Ello is ever sold, the new owners will have to comply by these terms.

In other words, Ello exists for your benefit, and will never show ads or sell user data.

Simple, beautiful, and ad-free.

There is a better way.

We, as founders and investors in Ello, vow to support Ello’s mission and to abide by the terms of the Ello Charter.

[Signed]
