#They cant like and reblog on the liking and reblogging website??

[vanilla-voyeur]

Literally making it easier for new accounts to be bots and harder for new humans to get started. Also harder for people to tell when a bot is following them. Would've been nice if there was any indication to existing users that the massive amount of bots actually might have 1-2 new people in it. I guess if you're new, you can try following a bot account.

Is it possible for new accounts to dm people?

I'm assuming they can make original posts before following people. Maybe they can add a blog introduction to start?

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!

who started this "if you post something on the internet it means its a free for all and we can do whatever we want with it" thing because its simply... not true. even in public boundaries are allowed to exist

side note. im just upset now about how it feels like my work is no longer belonging to me. I dont get to choose what it is put into. it is now a comodity for whoever believes that they have a right to my work.

When I work in an art-based industry, what I produce will not be my own. It will be owned by another company who hired me. I could spend hours on it and pour my life force into what I create, but it could be held by the company and not released or released and removed from my ownership.

Now tumblr is the same. now every website is the same. You never have control of what you post forever. You never get to choose what happens to your online work. But now I know that what I post will go directly into the content meatgrinder that is AI technology. I will not get to choose this. I will not get to own my work any more. Even if I opt out, even if thousands of users opt out, not everybody will. Not everybody will know. Not everybody will want to. Not everybody will be bothered.

Theres a difference between individuals reposting my work onto pinterest and an entire blog being fed into AI. Theres a difference between a single human feeding artwork that isnt theirs into AI and an automatic process in which my data, my artwork, my life is being fed into AI. I will never own my own work again unless I keep it directly next to me and never share it.

Im debating pulling all of my work from this website.

genuinely also curious from other ppl who have drawn from live models. whenever i talk about this experience ppl ask me if the models were all attractive and young and in-shape. in my figure drawing class only two of the regular models could somewhat fit that description. most of them were middle-aged or older people of ordinary (but diverse) proportions. like my experience may not be representative but i find it curious that ppl hear about modelling for a drawing class and wonder if that's like a hot 20-something job. it doesn't seem to be lol

sorry if im posting too much. i always feel like im posting too much nowadays but idk what to do with this feeling. im probably just online too much (because again i have nowhere else to go) but then i just developed this bizarrely debilitating anxiety that i post too much and i have some kind of Limit that i need to stay under of how many posts im allowed to make a day or otherwise everybody will unfollow me and block me and hate me because im Annoying and i KNOW its just paranoia but it still makes me anxious every single time i press reblog and makes me obsessively analyze how many posts ive made every day before "allowing" myself to post again

Being condescending to poor & disabled people who have less than you is definitely a good way to get donations, I'm sure that's really working out for the people you are trying to help. What's the exchange rate exactly for superiority points

[moodr1ng]

how many fucking times are random fucking people who dont even follow me or know me from eve or adam going to reblog personal posts of mine where im venting about my depression and killing myself and self-hating. like i shouldnt need to preemptively make those not rebloggable. you freaks should realize not everything is for or about you and thoughts expressed by a distressed mentally ill person in the midst of a deep depressive episode are not yours to plaster on your stupid blog. fuck off!!!!!!!!

[weesalikesmilktea]

im not gonna be normal until the mentopolis ep 1 adventuring party drops tomorrow. seriously it is a damn lifesaver that they do those otherwise every episode of dimension 20 ever would just fester in my brain for the entire week

the reblogging culture on simblr is a joke 💀

[kingsbride-moved]

If there is life after the earth-life, will you come with me? Even then? If we're bound to be something, why not together.

[huntersapprentice]

it's something I've noticed for a long time now, but it really feels like a big aspect of tumblr culture is meddling with posts and twisting them through reblogs as far away from their original intention as possible, whether anyone meant to or not
