It's like nobody even looked at the state of Tumblr these days



Tumblr is 2021 is hemorrhaging money for sure, and its valuation is down like 80% from its peak, and its latest attempt to monetize (Post+) is/was laughably stupid, but it's honestly one of the best social media platforms imo while it continues to last. Banning explicit content chased away a ton of the bad actors (Nazis, incels, terfs, MRA types, etc.), and the audience skews pretty young/lefty/artsy as a result. It also doesn't use algorithms and instead just has a straight-forward, user-curated chronological feed, so you can have a pretty intimate blog/web of mutuals with which to post/share with.

(And there's still no shortage of porn, if you're into that)

Tumblr always tended toward hard echo-chambering of whatever your opinions happened to be, which had a pretty obvious effect on teenagers just figuring out how to talk about their opinions in a public setting, but most of the people affected by this have moved on to Having A Really Tough Time On Twitter Dot Com by now

I really liked Tumblr until I realized I couldn't just get like blogs about old comic books and animation and shitposters and stuff without also having to see those same people reblogging constant political news poo poo. Like, it wasn't stuff I necessarily disagreed with, it was just a fuckin deluge of the same exhausting 24/7 trash I try to avoid.

also the pure chronological thing was actually a problem because if one particular person you're following decides to post fifty memes about coffee in a row one Monday morning your options are to (a) scroll forever or (b) get a third-party plugin and tell it to block all posts that mention coffee because you never want to see coffee again

like, even if you're just tired of one particular person's shtick and not really into their stuff today but they just post more than anyone else you have to fully unfollow them or your feed is just their show

I mean, what you describe as a "problem" is considered a feature for many users, myself included. :justpost: and share poo poo with your mutuals. If/when things repeat, it's just another opportunity to throw a Like at it and make an online acquaintance on the other side of the planet feel nice. :shrug:
