#and how discords with enough people to be regularly active become toxic

I’m really upset by the upcoming functionality loss as apparently tumblr is getting rid of the desktop post editor and switching to the crappy mobile one. But I’ve seen NO posts about this? Am I the only one? They’re basically killing gifsets (don’t work properly on the new editor) and fucking over artists with crappier image quality and I’ve just seen… silence? The archive will be worse as post types won’t exist anymore? No copying multiple paragraphs? A hint that old posts soon won’t be editable? I have over a decade of posts here and I do NOT want to lose access to them. Like I’m fucking panicking cause this WILL really hurt fandom, the group tumblr has been most trying to cater to. Like I think between this and other social media sites going down the tubes, I feel like fandom as a whole will not exist in a few years at this rate. I’m not trying to spread panic, I genuinely feel this way unless some other site comes along or staff gets their heads out of their assess
So poll (which ironically don’t work in the desktop editor although it’d be literally so easy to implement)
#like am I wrong for thinking that between this#and twitter’s problems#and how discords with enough people to be regularly active become toxic#plus the inherent issue with discord being gated communities#plus every other site either being dangerous due to under preparedness or just straight predatory so there are no other choices#like is fandom even gonna exist in 5 years?#I feel like I’m watching it die in real time#and here I was feeling kinda bad for tumblr and thinking about giving them money but FUCK THAY#I hope this site dies fuck the new owners fuck everyone for destroying the last decent place on the internet#fandom IS my social life and my stress relief and I don’t think it will be a thing soon at this rate#and I really just. cannot fucking handle that right now#so tell me if I’m wrong and if you agree with me PLEASE fucking complain to tumblr so they realize what a mistake this is#text#misc#polls#shut up nerd#new layout stuff
