The Reddit Blackout, #196, And Being New to Tumblr

okay i've seen a lot of people in the past ~24 hours or so confused by everything going on with Reddit & Tumblr from both sides - people new to tumblr who don't know how to use it, and tumblr users who don't know what's going on with reddit and why many of its users have joined up here i know this isn't really related to my blog but fun fact about me: i was up until recently a very active reddit user and even mod a subreddit, but I've also been on tumblr for about 3 years now on different accounts, so I think I can see pretty well from both sides of this and explain what's going on this post will be split in 2 sections: what happened with reddit (and what #196 means), and a guide for new users

1. What The Hell Is Going On With Reddit?

The thing that's caused all this ruckus is a major change to Reddit's API, which is what Reddit provides to people so they can pull directly from Reddit to make third-party apps or tools.

The change is that Reddit is changing its previously free API to be paid. Which on its own kinda sucks for developers, but it's not unexpected. They need to make money somehow, right?

The problem is that the API pricing is WAY TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE. The developer of the most popular 3rd party Reddit app, Apollo, says it will cost him $20 million a year to continue running the app as normal.

Essentially, this pricing forces almost everything third-party to shut down, which causes 3 major problems:

Third-party apps cannot keep running, which sucks for normal users because Reddit's official app is awful. It's slow, its video player is a thing of nightmares, it doesn't have many useful features third-party developers have made.

It sucks even more for visually impaired users because they can't use the official Reddit app at all. Reddit's official app does not work with iOS's native text-to-speech function. Third party apps, on the other hand, often do. So Reddit is forcing blind users away.

Third-party moderator tools cannot keep running, which sucks for moderators because many rely on these tools to properly moderate their subreddits. And moderators are often necessary, because without them subreddits get banned and hate speech and even CSA can often run rampant.

So you see why this change is bad.

Reddit users were PISSED.

So over the past week and a half or so, they have been working on organizing a site-wide blackout. The majority of the most active subreddits have now gone private. Some are only doing it for 48 hours, others (such as r/196) are doing it indefinitely.

That's why you can't access most of Reddit right now, and that's why many users have come here.

You're probably still wondering, though - what is this #196?

Well, as you may guess, it's connected to that subreddit r/196 I just mentioned. r/196 is a subreddit which only has one rule: every time you visit, you must post before you leave.

That's it, that's the subreddit.

The thing about r/196 that set it apart from most other subreddits - and what lends the subreddit's users perfectly to Tumblr - is that it was dominated by queer and leftist users.

So now they've come here and set up shop in #196 and r/196 so they can continue their merry little shitposting.

There's a ton of lore related to r/196, actually, but this is already a long tumblr post and quite frankly I cannot be bothered to write about it at the moment.

2. I'm Here From Reddit, What Now?

Hello there, random new user. As a double-citizen of Reddit and Tumblr, let me show you around this place.

First off, there are some other people who are better at explaining that I am who have made some really helpful things. Watch this Strange Aeons video as a guide to Tumblr culture and functionality and read this post which directly compares Reddit and Tumblr.

Assuming you've done that, here's some additional advice of my own:

Do you miss sorting subreddits by top of all time/the year/the month? Well, you can do something very similar with tags! If you go to a tag at the top of the screen you can select top, and then at the dropdown that says "all time" you can select different time periods! Even 6 months, which Reddit hasn't ever had.

Tumblr has a lot of cool customization features! Even outside your icon/banner/bio, you can change you blog colors and on desktop you can have an html theme (which has its own thriving community here). That customization is part of what sets Tumblr apart from everywhere else - I think you'll enjoy playing with it.

Notes will probably confuse you at first. Unlike the different numbers for upvotes and comments, notes combines the total number of likes, reblogs, and replies into the same number.

Outside of organizing your own blog, when making your own posts tags are what help other people find your post. Use them! But don't abuse them, because then people will just block you.

There are three ways of people finding your post: if someone follows you, if someone follows the tag(s) assigned to your post, and if someone is just scrolling through the tag(s) assigned to your post (and also the secret 4th way no one uses, which is finding it on the trending page, but even if people did use it no one will find your post initially that way)

tumblr is no longer The Discourse Website. And unlike what Reddit wants you to believe for some reason, it is very much alive still. Most of the people seeking fights have moved to Twitter (though some have also moved back here again). You will not get any brownie points for being a dipshit like you do on some subreddits.

So there, welcome to the hellsite (affectionate), you'll pick up on all the in-jokes eventually, for now just try not to be a nuisance and soon enough this'll be your new internet home.

mentor/tribute pairing dynamics as lines from noah kahan songs (part 1, based on my hcs)

livia cardew & facet - new perspective

You and all of your new perspective now / Wish I could shut it in a closet / And drag you back down

palmyra monty & velvereen - northern attitude

Forgive my northern attitude / Oh, I was raised on little light

sejanus plinth & marcus - carlo’s song

I keep burning my bridges down / Just to keep you alive

florus friend & sabyn - the view between villages

Feel the rush of my blood / I'm seventeen again / I am not scared of death / I've got dreams again

io jasper & circ - halloween

It's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as / Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, you know how to haunt

urban canville & teslee - hollow

And I've tried to hold my temper and obscure my rage / But these kids, they never act their age / And I've got one foot in the grave

persephone price & mizzen - come over

I know that it ain't much, I know that it ain't cool / Oh, you don't have to tell the other kids at school / My dad will strike it rich, we'll be the big house on the block / Someday I'm gonna be somebody people want

festus creed & coral - homesick ft. sam fender

Static cranes stand lifeless, castin' shadows on the town / I stare out that hallowed ocean as if to pick a fight / For thе dreams my old man dreamt for me lay on thе other side

dennis fling & hy - still

It's like I'm still here with you / I don't, I don't, I don't wanna say goodbye

iphigenia & sol - you’re gonna go far

The only time I got to praying for a red light / Was when I saw your destination as a deadline

apollo ring & otto - anyway

And I hope I ain't the last of what the world left you

diana ring & ginnee - godlight

To know me is to hate me / Is to hate what I've become / It's to watch me as I'm fallin' / From that ladder's last rung

moody teenagers getting kidnapped

So, the mentors' children, who are 13 in here, are on the way to a school field trip to the Capitol museum, and all of a sudden, their Professor and the bus driver gets knocked out by two masked men who broke into the bus and everyone is freaking out.

And during this time, they're very, very moody teenagers.

The kids just start yelling "Do you know who our parents are?!" at the masked men.

One of the masked men takes over and drives the bus to an abandoned house.

The kids start yelling even more.

He just tells everyone to shut up or he'll kill them in an instant.

Surprisingly, it works??

They arrive at the abandoned house, and the kids are pushed in there.

It isn't just the two masked men of course, there are five more in the abandoned house.

One of them says, "Alright, I'm going to call your parents to pay me a ransom of 50 million in order to get all of you brats out."

So, he does. He calls Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray first, and tells him to gather all the parents of the children at Coryo's penthouse and pay a ransom of 50 million.

And the parents are freaking out!

Felix and Clemmie are very worried, but they know Aelia will kick the kidnapper's ass and find a way out somehow because come on, she's a mini version of both Felix and Clemmie. (she got the Ravinstill punch and the Dovecote kick!)

Festus and Pippa are more worried than Clemmie and Felix are, because they know Athena is a sweetheart and won't hurt anyone.

Hilarius & Vippie and Livia & Arachne have a similar reaction to Felix and Clemmie.

Lucy Gray and Coriolanus Snow are FREAKING OUT. June Ruby is the smallest compared to all her classmates and is as pure as snow, she won't even flick an ant!

Io and Urban are also freaking out, because Albert is a nerd and doesn't know how to fight that well, despite having Urban as his father.

Apollo & Androcles, Lyssie & her husband, Iphigenia & Diana, Florus & Palmyra, and Juno & Domitia are nervous that their children won't be able to get out from there and that the kidnappers will kill their children.

Once all the parents are in Coryo and Lucy Gray's penthouse, he calls the kidnapper again.

The kidnapper's like: "If you all want your children, you must pay me a ransom of 50 million!", though it isn't really clear because of everyone either shouting or crying.

The six masked men are telling their kids to shut up but they can't really hear them.

The kidnapper has to repeat it ten times to the parents.

Now, here's when Aelia, Achilles, and Plutarch get to kick ass.

All of a sudden, Achilles knocks one of the kidnappers out with a pan he randomly found in the house.

This alerts the other kidnappers, so Aelia, and Plutarch help Achilles knock the others out.

The kidnapper on the phone tries to stop the kids, but he was in the middle of threatening their parents.

Their parents could hear all the fighting going on from the phone and they're all speechless.

Plutarch sneaks up behind the kidnapper, who's on the phone and knocks him out too!

All of the kidnappers are knocked out, and they find a way out! (they get out of the abandoned house and just walk in the Capitol streets until they see the Academy)
