Hi Tumblr Newbies,

The inevitable new influx of people means a roundup of folks talking about "we don't have an algorithm here," "you NEED to reblog things," etc. and I would just like to offer some actually helpful advice.

One of tumblr's best assets is that it offers you multiple algorithmic feeds, including not having one at all. If you are on mobile, you will notice a "following" tab, followed by a "for you" tab, which is algorithmically generated. "Following" only includes posts from people you follow, in reverse chronological order. That's it. The vast majority of tumblr users prefer it this way, as we predate algorithms.

If you are new and looking to expand what you're finding quickly, you can browse under the algorithmic feed and tweak it once you've followed a few blogs and liked a few things - under "settings," you can choose to have posts related to your likes, or the likes of people you follow.

However - again, most users on this website do not use the algorithm. It's for that reason that reblogging posts is of such importance here. Liking a post is an appreciated sign of goodwill, but for the majority of users, it will not boost the post. Many of use use likes just as a save folder.

So if you genuinely like something you see on here, I encourage you to reblog it, because that is the only way the post will continue to spread around. Almost everyone started their blog with a theme they were loathe to ruin with an unrelated reblog, but by now most of us are just streams of consciousness showing each other things we find funny or interesting, and if you view your blog the same way you will have a much more enjoyable experience.

Let it radicalize you, not push you to despair.

The only difference between tumblr users and channers is y'all care about who's saying the n word. Get over yourselves and figure out how to aim at the boot on your neck instead of the closest neighbor you can reach you miserable pricks 💕

We're never getting out of this as long as tumblr keeps trying to be Woke 4chan

Haven't seen you post in a bit; hope you're doing okay! Offering hugs if wanted/needed.

*hugsqueeeze!*

tumblr was turning my mental health into gunk and tar so I fucked off. The queer and leftist infighting on this website is so critically noxious and frankly damn near unique to tumblr itself that I decided I'm not going to be anywhere near it anymore unless it dies down.

I'll still make the occasional post and reblog this or that post my close friends send me, but frankly, being on here stopped being worth it long before I took my hiatus. I literally feel my emotional stability rot as soon as I so much as glimpse my activity feed, let alone my dashboard.

Long story short, I'm doing better now that I'm not engaging with tumblr almost at all! Highly recommend most everyone who's miserable and posting to try the same thing. Have a small personal discord and clean your room a little. It's helping me!

thanks for checking in ur a sweetie

this is gonna sound like a shitpost but the best advice i have if youre consistently coming off wrong is to start talking like an elcor

you will feel like a dumdum at first, but once you get used to it youll realize that telling people what kind of thing you're about to say ahead of time flattens their anxiety a huge amount

ive been starting every question with "question:" for awhile now and i almost never get people reading too much into what i mean anymore

it seems super dumb, but "what are your plans tomorrow?" gets people asking me what i have planned despite me obviously being in the process of figuring that out, whereas "question: what are your plans tomorrow?" gets me a quick rundown of their schedule, followed by "why?"

it also makes it really easy to work tone indicators into your verbal speech. if you're always saying "question: [your question here]?" then no one blinks when you say "genuine question: [question that could read as sarcastic]?"

it also gets you out of your own way for any types of things you struggle to say. "can you make sure to do the dishes before you go to bed?" feels like an argument waiting to happen, but "request: can you make sure to do the dishes before you go to bed?" gets the words flowing on a neutral word while making it clear that you're not looking for a fight

so yeah. suggestion: talk like an elcor

Look, no matter how you cut it, if you don't take those terrifying steps forward, you'll stay right here.

back in the heyday of mlp fandom there was one specific guy that commissioned insane amounts of self insert shipping art with pinkie pie. when the finale and confirmed pinkie fucked weird al instead he got a comic of his oc watching longingly at them like walking through the park with their kid and just solemnly accepting it and it was the funniest shit to me. he took it so seriously it was like a genuine breakup

THIS IS SO FUNNY HE GOT CUCKED BY WEIRD AL
