Anyway the last point I have to make here is that even if tumblr breaks under the algorithm (almost certain if they don’t back out of using it) and/or everybody leaves… I don’t have anywhere else to go or post things

people like to joke about it being bad, but I legitimately really like Tumblr. it actually feels like a blogging platform in a world where facebook and twitter are active political weapons that manipulate us elections. i don’t feel like i’m baring myself to content i don’t want to see here, or having to engage with a popularity-focused culture. the content isn’t sorted to influence you or trick you. it’s a bunch of people being themselves on their own terms. it’s oldnet.

yes, i do use other websites, but i’m not interested in posting personal things to any of them. this was a place i had control over and i’ll stay with it until i can’t. and when that happens there’ll be nothing left.

I also really like tumblr. I’ve never been on the “tumblr is a hellsite” train.

Today sucks.

It runs like a hellsite but I liked being able to curate a very specific experience here, that I don’t think I can do on any of my other social media. I’ve created a Twitter handle specifically so I can follow my favorite blogs as they exit until someone else (pillowfort, apparently?) can support what I liked about this site. I hate Facebook’s lack of anonymity and required mutualism, I dislike Twitter’s interface, I’ve never gotten into discord or whatever the others are… So I’m just sad, mostly, that I’m going to lose this just as I was really getting into it.

Same here, I’ve always loved Tumblr despite all of the bs this site goes through, but this definitely takes the cake. I’d always run to this site whenever I needed a break from life, I’ve used Tumblr more than I’ve used any other social media and now it’s getting swept out from everyone’s feet. I don’t even run any n s f w blogs and I’m scrambling trying to find everyone I follow on other sites because even things that are s f w are being flagged. Its only been a day, who knows how many innocent people have been deactivated already… 

I hate this so much, Tumblr was the one place that I could chill out and be 100% myself, carefree; a place where I could meet other people who had the same interests as me and where I could hide from the politics and homophobics but now this site only gives me intense anxiety as I’m waiting for the next person to disappear; I can barely have a complete thought that’s clear enough to type an understandable sentence, auto correct is basically writing this for me
