So one of the nice properties about the fediverse is that tumblr "flipping the switch" wouldn't really do much of anything. You'd either have to explicitly follow a tumblr account, or have someone you follow boost a tumblr account, for it to show up in your feed.
I quite like how it's much more network-y than regular social media. Keeping your experience sane is much easier because you'll generally only see people you know, or people who people you know know. Reach intentionally has some friction to it. People have to keep vetting posts by boosting to extend the reach it has.
