#honestly i don't.... quite know why i'm on tumblr anymore#i'm an oldie; we're talking ''i made a blog here in 2007'' oldie#so i remember the sense of community this place used to have. what you shared and created used to have value#and people would show their appreciation by actually talking to you; there was ask culture and actual reblog comments and#there was this sense that what you shared mattered#i'm not a reblog/like person really i dont care; i love a sense of exchange and discussion and idea generation#and it's probably just me but. people seldom interact with anything i say in any meaningful way here anymore#it really does feel like i'm talking to myself but i dont talk to myself on the internet that's what my diary is for#i geniunely miss a sense of enthusiastic interaction on this website and tumblr is my primary social media hell anyway#instead with the shifting internet culture and the collective apathy towards artists and consumerist mannerisms of most people#the way they just read stuff and move to the next thing without feeling like adding anything intriguing to the discussion#or express appreciation beyond basic ''this is great'“#it geniunely feels pointless to share anything.#I have so many ideas and stuff but i'm hardly motivated to share them at all anymore. who wants to talk into a fucking void?#yeah i know a lot of people really just use social media to talk to themselves but i'm not one of them; i love to connect!#but when it takes me days and weeks to polish ideas and fics and all kinds of things and they dont get any response in return#or your exceptional efforts get a lukewarm ''this is nice" at best'#yeah i think people in general have absolutely forgotten how to appreciate things and love things beyond the most basic language#and sentiments.#it's disheartening really; everybody wants to be adored but they dont know how to adore and express love#welcome to the narcissism of the social media age#anyway dont mind me i just have been thinking about moving somewhere else. bsky probably#this place is mostly pinterest+reactionary performative sociopolitical plastic takes platform now#and people wonder why nobody creates anything anymore
