#fix your website tumblr

[sablegear0]

Oh god what the fuck

New dash finally hit and wow that's... that's bad. Even XKit doesn't really fix the "we want so bad to be twitter" bar on the left. Which is surprisingly unintuitive. I considered using the Tampermonkey unfucker script but... no.

No, this is untenable.

So I ponder the validity of a piece of advice I saw in a recommended post to stop using desktop tumblr if you get the update - under the assumption staff are checking for traffic on the new layout to "prove" it's just as effective as the old one. Presumably extensions and custom scripts don't change the data they see on their end, and this post was encouraging people to crash their engagement numbers on the new dash layout tests by just using mobile tumblr instead. I can't say for sure how true this may be, it sounds plausible though.

But y'see the problem is that mobile sucks. I have to turn my volume all the way down to browse in piece bc the awful auto-play ads are

SO LOUD

it makes browsing a minefield.

Guess I just have to choose the lesser of two braindead evils, which might be mobile because at least it makes sense still.

why am i seeing posts from people im following on the "for you" section of tumblr but not on my regular dash, what kind of nonsense is this ?!?!?!?

Tumblr straight up just advertising me cigarettes, Viagra, drugs, lingerie, religious proselytizing (they're playing both sides so they always come out on top), legit video game porn (not pictured because Jesus Christ that was ACTUAL porn), and the coup de resistance: FAMILY GUY MASTURBATION INCEST 😭.

Genuinely, WHO does it think I AM.

And are the "children we have to think about" in the room with us right now? This is even missing some of the worst offenders. Oh oh I forgot the straight up cult they advertised! Their crusade against so called "NSFW" on this site has never once actually been about "protecting the children." It's been about having a flimsy excuse to spread and inflict their hate and prejudice and selling the marketing rights to the highest bidder, children be fucking damned, (and if they are damned, well do we have an AD FOR YOU! Have you heard of our Lord and Saviour, Click Now! Now! Now! Click now! Click or be damned forever! N̶̻̟͓̣̲͖̗̿̑̉̃̓̀̑̂Ǫ̷̨̲̟͓̮̪̲̞̱̪̩̱̳̲̬̖̲̦̣̠̹͈̒̐ͅͅẈ̸̧̠̠̟̽̍̃͗̅̃̽̓̐͒͆̈̓̈͘͘͝!̷̯̘̼̣͖́͌̾̓̎͊͘

[royposting]

scrolled thru some subreddit the other day that was like tumblr tech help and it was honestly so funny. like ive been here since 2009 ish ?? and this website is so bad. always has been. and to see these beginner users trying to navigate this website and understand how it works really put it into perspective honestly

Hi, I was wondering if you’ll ever make the old Patreon art/writing public since iirc you don’t intend to reactivate it for a long time? I was a member while it was active but I accidentally updated my app so I can’t view them anymore, I understand if you can’t/won’t though.

i can do that if people are interested! particularly thinking about those harvest festival snippets i wrote, those are well over a year (maybe even 2 years? time is fake) old and were on patreon the entire time & it's almost fall here... i say thru clenched teeth while it's still 100 degrees outside....

the majority of the snippets that were up were definitely like closing in on at least a year old so i do think it's been long enough and it would be fair to post them now... maybe i'll pick a random week and post them all one day at a time lmfao since iirc there's at least one for each companion (thinking specifically about the nsfw ones)

the art i don't plan to repost here though, mainly because i don't like it anymore 💀 but also because i dislike the way tumblr is handling their content moderation and i'm not interested in getting this blog flagged after 3 years because some human moderator decided my tasteful nude drawings of trans people (that 100% follow tumblr guidelines btw) are actually too offensive for their delicate constitution... but that's a whole other complaint for another post lmfao. i haven't had any issues at least with posting written nsfw so i'm less hesitant about posting that stuff instead.

but yeah i think maybe next month i can do the harvest festival snippets for october? i'll probably edit them a little bit since they're so old but i think that could be fun :-)

good morning tumblr. fungus images

Well Tumblr Live finally landed in my region and made mobile even more hostile so I guess I just… die. Since both platforms for this website are now unusable.

[trannytheophage]

HEY TUMBLR ITS REALLY FUNNY HOW YOU'RE ALLOWING ADVERTISEMENTS FOR BDSM EQUIPMENT WHILE BANNING TRANS WOMEN FOR "SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT"

Real fucking funny

[cosmic-hoboandthehighlander]

Never seen this before in my life like, excuse me WHAT???

Since the fuck when??

[my-little-fandoms]

Anybody else getting fucking ads every 5 posts now? I swear to god this site gets less useable by the day

[magnusbae]

did tumblr just remove pfp from web view, making this place even more bare of identity? what is wrong with them, i'm asking for real now...

edit: so pfp now only appears if you're the op, they really did say screw anyone who reblogs content, didn't they :)?

"the reblogging website" indeed.

[boomstab-papa]

from the website owner who bans you if you link to his blog

"We have a contractual obligation to try to make Live as successful as possible through the end of the year"???!!!!???!? (emphasis mine)

contractual with who???!!!?!?!
