I'm just saying I knew how to properly source gifs before I even knew how to crop them. It's not hard.

[spacegirlstims]

This has been bothering me and you seem like the PERFECT person to rant to about it.

Stimblr has a fucking Problem with crediting lately. You know this. You've prolifically posted about it. Namely about people just not crediting or crediting uncredited Pinterest reposts. A fucking hero.

But you know what else people have been doing lately that really grinds my fucking gears?

Crediting SOMEONE'S STIMBOARD that uses and credits SOMEONE ELSE'S STIM. I HAVE TO CLICK THROUGH 5 DIFFERENT STIMBOARDS TO GET TO THE GIF'S ACTUAL FUCKING SOURCE.

Ohhh and you know what I REALLY. LOVE. When I go through 7 fucking boards just to hit a dead end because one of the users deactivated when I KNOW THAT PERSON WAS NOT THE SOURCE OF THAT GIF

re: I saw an old gif of mine used in a board recently and I suspiciously clicked the link. It linked to another board using it. So I clicked on that link. That linked to another board using it. So I clicked on that link. And. That linked to another board using it. ((((((: And then I clicked on that link and..... it was a dead end. It linked to another board using it, but that board's creator had deactivated. So now my gif was just wholly unsourced all because everyone and their mother had to fucking create a chain of tumblr users to go through which is broken the second any of them deactivates.

RRRRRRRRRRRHGHG sorry just. It's been REALLY FUCKING IRKING ME lately. I straight up block people who do this

(not when a longer-standing stim blog does it because I know they're generally reliable and just made a one-time error -- they know better -- but I'm trigger happy on stim blogs I don't recognize or already have a positive repertoire with)

I've seen the same thing happen with my own gifs many times; there's this one bottle cap gif I made that has never once been credited properly because everyone seems to find it from and source the one board that mis-sourced it. Sometimes I contact people about this but the last few times even when I do they don't bother to fix it, even when they say they will.

I'm tired. I don't know what to do about it. I was going to make a sourcing blog but only two people were interested in helping and I started a 9-5 yesterday and I can't afford to burnout again. People frequently get away with being lazy about sourcing and no one actually does anything about it because they're either also too tired or afraid of conflict. And new people see people being lazy and think that's the norm and it spreads and spreads and spreads.

I can feel myself getting more apathetic every time I see it happen. Because there isn't actually anything we can do about it unless we come together and work beyond our limits to put an end to it. People have tried to do similar things before just to maintain sources on deactivated stim blogs and that's been met with mixed results at best.

Idk. I'm tired. I don't even know when my next original post will be. I'm just trying to make it past the probationary period and survive until I get my first paycheck. Stimblr and its problems aren't even on my radar anymore.

Sourcing gifs shows you actually have standards and don't see stimming as some kind of fad btw. It shows that you respect others in the stimblr community and deserve that same respect in turn.

[spacegirlstims]

stop deactivating your stim blogs please

tags are infested with people who don't credit their gifs so:

"i can't credit ALL these!" if this is your only reason it's bad. i once made a 30 gif stimboard and credited EVERY SINGLE MAKER, i think you can credit like 5 people for their hard work.

"i'm disabled so it's hard!" find a way that works for you or ask someone to help. i am also disabled, so i usually save the links, take a break, then save the gifs, making it easier on my arms, hands and mind.

"where do i even save the links???" discord, just keep the tabs open (i personally use google chrome to grab the gifs while using firefox for everything else, keeping them in 2 different places to make 'em easier to keep track of) or use any notepad app. there are thousands on mobile devices and you can get good ones on computers too.

"i'm just making it for myself!" then don't post it - or, if you're like me and HAVE to post the things you make due to Mental Illness:tm:, post it untagged and turn reblogs off. reblogs can be turned off in settings. if you for any reason can't turn rbs off, just say "don't reblog this post"

"it's just for a friend!" not an excuse. see above.

"i don't know how!" on mobile: select the text you wish to add a link to, and press the button that looks like a chain. add your link there. on desktop: if you're using rich text editor, then select the text you wish to add a link to, look for the chain button, and add the link. you can also just copy-paste the link directly onto the text, which saves several seconds but makes it easier to add the wrong link

"why is this so important?" similar reasons as to why you always have to credit artists. making gifs, especially GOOD gifs, is HARD. it takes time and energy. stealing people's shit isn't nice, especially if it took ages to make it.

thst's all :thumbsup: credit ur gifs or die 2 my blade
