An interesting observation I need to report to you all from when I was out touching grass last month (hiking/camping): People in the real world seem to consistently react to me saying that tumblr is my primary social media by going "Isn't that a dating app????"

A year ago this past July (2023), I had a mini-stroke. Unfortunately, a month later, I was laid off from my job. It took several months and physical therapy to get my left side back to where it was close to being functional again, but I found out in February 2024 I had torn some muscles and messed up my rotator cuff that would require surgery. Well, it took until May 2024 before I could get the surgery. July 2024, my body decided that I didn't need my gallbladder anymore, so I had emergency surgery to get it removed. Between September 2023 till now October 2024 I have been working on our YouTube Channel Motivate and inspire (link below) (https://youtube.com/@MotivateandInspire-zy9dr) Also, I have been looking for a job with no luck. I know asking for donations to help my family out right now is hard to do, especially with the state of our country's economy and tragedy in the southeast and Atlantic Coast. If you could donate anything to our Cash app, which is $Wayne874, we would appreciate your support. If you are not able to, that is ok. Donate to local churches and other groups that can help people in the Southeastern and Atlantic States if you could or would rather. Thanks for reading this and for any consideration. God Bless.

On tumblr when you post you’re just playing Russian roulette with your post getting attention, but it’ll probably get ignored.

On Reddit any comment you make outside of some very niche community will immediately have someone downvoting you and calling you like, three different insults. Then they will wonder why you only log in every couple months. Like, it’s a very helpful website when you have a question for another community you’re in, but you’ll also get someone being immediately hostile when you make an innocuous post on a garden subreddit 😑

At least on tumblr people have to actually seek out your random ass text posts and go out of their way to start shit, and you don’t have the up and down vote system that feels like playing with my self confidence and worth issues.

Both websites are toxic part of the time (what social media isn’t?) and both are actually more useful for weird people, but holy shit does Reddit feel more aggressive about shit. Maybe it’s just the devil you know, but at least on this mess of a website half your hate will be for the most random shit and misunderstandings that people have to seek out finding if your blog is a normal size. Reddit is either posting on a dead sub or getting immediately thrown to the, well, sharks and wolves aren’t actually super aggressive towards humans under normal circumstances, so something else that could tear you apart instantly for just existing in the same space as them.

i understand that scraping all of barry's social media is probably the most parasocial & insane thing that i've ever done but also all of the hurdles that i've run into in this project where i've hit a dead-ended reddit thread telling me that something isn't possible and no one's ever found a workaround just make me feel so hopeless. i know that not everybody is a data hoarder but i feel like. as a... community of people sharing the web. as a fandom. as a society. preserving media (even and especially digital stuff) should be easy and accessible and the fact that it's not is devastating, sure, but also terrifying. are you not all terrified of the impermanence of this place. does it not keep you up at night. it could all be gone tomorrow. how do we live with that.

Lots of reactions to today’s Staff post, so here’s another one in the ring.

I’m not so alarmist as to think that the changes Staff laid out today are going to kill tumblr, I think they’ll annoy most of us and drop a few users but ultimately blow over because they’re less egregious than what every other site is up to right now. Also, even though I don’t like the changes, I do like the way Staff is publicizing them.

But I do see a clear pattern in Tumblr’s recent moves - bolder merchandise marketing via Emporium, scrambling for engagement metrics with Tumblr Live, more aggressive prompts to sign in to see content, etcetera. Some members of staff have even publicly said outright that tumblr needs to start making money. What this pattern tells me is that Tumblr as a business entity has probably been given a deadline by which to become profitable or at least financially break even, and what we’re seeing is an aggressive push to meet that goal.

I don’t think Tumblr is going to work out the secret recipe to profitable social media, nobody except Facebook ever has, and nobody else is in the niche that Facebook is in. The secret recipe probably just doesn’t exist outside of that niche. Everything else that any of us do on social media is costing somebody a TON of money that they want to one day recoup.

So my guess is that Tumblr is going to shut down in the near future, not because of these unpopular changes but the other way around.

‘ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York state Legislature on Friday passed a bill that would allow parents to block their kids from getting social media posts suggested by a platform’s algorithm — a regulation that tries to curtail feeds that critics argue are addicting to children.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, is expected to sign it into law.

The move comes amid heightened concern about social media use among children and an ever-unfolding push to regulate tech platforms in different ways at the state and federal levels.

In practice, the bill would stop platforms from showing suggested posts to people under the age of 18, content the legislation describes as “addictive.” Instead, children would only get posts from accounts they follow. A minor could still get the suggested posts if he or she has what the bill defines as “verifiable parental consent.”’

Like, don’t get me wrong, I dislike suggested posts on practically every platform, but in terms of how intrinsic they are to how the platform runs… this is so blatantly aimed once again at TikTok. They’re just so. goddamn. desperate. to ban TikTok.

You misunderstand the reason tumblr works: we do not want to be presented with content that is high quality and will keep our attention. This is a blogging website, for casual blogging. We need features that help the casual blogging experience, not the social media experience.

If you add an algorithm to tumblr all you will do is make the user base feel less in control of their content and their experience, which should be your goal. If you try to accommodate everyone, you will alienate everyone. Do not make tumblr more like twitter. Do not make it more like reddit. Do not use other sites as blueprints.

This site is one of the last holding onto a semblance of user-friendliness, and to be more like other sites is to lose that user-friendliness.

You say certain things are confusing to new users. That is a good thing. It should be a learning curve, where they get to learn how to use it and have it be notably different from other sites. This is called individuality and for a thing like tumblr it is so goddamn important.

You will lose so many by assimilating into the expected visual and technical functions of other sites that are hostile toward casual users. I've been here for years, and I will keep coming back as long as tumblr retains the thing I love about it, which is that I can choose what shows up on my dashboard and keep things I don't want to see off of it. There are other ways to keep this site running, you are simply looking for the easiest. You are going to fail if you go the easy route. Please proceed with caution.
