#posting on other sites is bad

I’ve heard people argue over whether Tumblr is worse/better for artists than other social media sites— but in my personal experience Tumblr is just more consistent and predictable, for better and for worse.
When you post art on Tumblr, you tend to get the level of interaction you would expect from your follower count and the popularity/activity of a fandom. Things tend to level out and remain the same. My Les Mis art posts, for example, always tend to get abooout the same amount of notes every time — because it’s always a combination of my followers and people in the Les Mis fandom.
Posting on Tiktok or Instagram feels more like pulling a slot machine lever. 🤣Sometimes your post will get picked up by the algorithm and shown to everyone, including people who aren’t actively following you or actively engaged in your fandom. Other times the sites will arbitrarily decide your followers don’t want to see anything you post, and refuse to put it up in their feeds, so that you get basically nothing.
I have over 1000 followers on Instagram and regularly struggle to get more than 10 likes. On Tumblr, the amount of notes I get on a post actually IS correlated to my follower count, for better and for worse 😂. I rarely get more than I’d expect, but I also rarely get less.
Art getting popular on tumblr is also slightly more of a “meritocracy?” If something gets popular on Tumblr, it’s because a lot of people shared it; if something gets popular on tiktok/Instagram, it’s because something about the SEO tag combination arbitrarily made the algorithm favor it.
I think that’s part of why I find Tumblr less stressful than Tiktok or Instagram. Sure it’s rare that things on tumblr will artificially blow up and get shown to a million people, but (when you have followers and mutuals) it’s also rare that things will go completely unseen. And I really prefer that reliability to the “slot machine” approach you have to have towards other social media.

Setting 2 coexisting facts straight:
- The Palestinian as a distinct Arab identity was largely formed as a response to the establishment of Medinat Yisrael in an effort to justify destroying it, cleansing the Jews and painting Palestinian Arabs as the only true indigenous people to the region. Both Jews and Arabs living here used to be called Palestinians at large, Palestina and Eretz Yisrael were interchangeable names.
- Palestinians as they are now known have been living in the Levant for literal millennia and cleansing or expelling them would be just as unjustified of doing so to the Jews or any other indigenous population of the region and they deserve self determination, label or not.
#i say this about every other post but this might be the one that actually kills me#still my asperger ass sense of justice won't just let me let go of how unfair it is#like the dome of the rock used to be made out of cheap copper#it was only painted gold and appointed a holier site in islam when jews started appearing here in larger numbers#like islamists (ISLAMISTS. NOT MUSLIMS.) are so cartoonishly manipulative#and hellbent on making sure jews don't even get to live in their tiny ass piece of land#as well as yk. every other indigenous population to the middle east they have and are eradicating.#i've said this before fdelopera has said it before but no matter how successfuly they twist history#ARAB MUSLIM IS NOT THE “NATURAL STATE” OF BROWN PEOPLE IN SOUTH ASIA#ISLAMIC COLONIALISM IS JUST AS BAD AS CHRISTIAN COLONIALISM EVEN IF IT'S THE UWU NOBLE SAVAGE RELIGION THAT'S OPPRESSED IN THE WEST#FUCK OFF#antisemitism#hila has spoken

really do not think people understand the extent to which palestinian sites/landmarks (especially muslim ones) were destroyed, beginning in 1948 until now, even in cities. the oldest extant mosque in jaffa (al-bahr mosque) was built in 1675, even though islam came there in the 7th century
#not to mention that many mosques that /were/ restored but are in 'jewish areas' r heavily guarded & prayer is hardly if ever allowed#to anyone thinking ''you can say the same thing abt jewish sites in mena countries''. you can't have one repaired w/o the other#and ultimately the root of the problem is both the colonization of palestine + antisemitism. advocating for palestine + against#antisemitism are far from mutually exclusive#(and for the love of god please stop using mena jews as a political gotcha i swear to god#and it's not like a regime that forced everyone to integrate into the ''new jewish'' culture is any less genocidal)#as someone who comes from one of the jewish groups who was affected by that to arguably one of the highest degrees & who's also a staunch#antizionist even i know that. politics re: cultural site preservation are stupid but that doesn't make it any less stomach-wrenching#it really is just Luck. al-bahr mosque just so Happens to be in a ''mixed city'' so destroying it'd be a ''bad look''#the tomb of nahum just so Happens to be in an autonomous kurdish territory so restoring it isnt as big a deal#and then people have the gall to wonder how i could ever ever ever sympathize with those ''savage arabs''. seriously??#btw im muting notificaions on this post so if you have a problem with me just dm me or block me whatever idc

Venturing yet again in the tags after time away because I’m too curious for my own good lmao
I saw a few posts that were in the tag that had nothing to do with the tag itself. One person was saying that people were “policing” a tag because other people decided to ask them “why is this content in our tag? It has nothing to do with said tag”.
So many people try to use the tags on this site like it’s instagram and using it for exposure and other shit but you bet those couple of posts I reported them. And honestly, they don’t realize they’re violating the terms of service on this website coz it literally states putting posts in tags not relevant to said tag is considered SPAM and too many instances of it can ban your account.
Like sorry, it’s just proper manners and etiquette on here to not to use tags that are not relevant to the post. People use these damn things to find the content they really want coz this site is one of the few where you CAN actually search for things! Is it easy to find? Not always but the chances of finding them is way higher than using any other site lmao
Like ok, (general) you can get mad about it but that’s the facts of the website. It’s in the terms of service and it’s in how people USE this place. People aren’t “policing” they’re using the site the way it’s intended to function and if you don’t want to be called on it that’s a you problem lol Using irrelevant tags isn’t getting more exposure except to people who are just gonna block you and/or report your posts as spam.
Like most of the time I have no beef with the content being posted when it happens. They have every right to post it if they want and the content in it is their business. But if it’s not relevant to the tag I’m looking at??? Sorry, keep it to relevant spaces please.
#personal#didn’t respond to them coz others did and their reaction to it was not…great from what I skimmed#tbf they tried to explain why tagging in non relevant posts especially the one I was looking at was bad but honestly the explanation OP#needed to hear is ‘this violates this site’s terms of service and people WILL report your post as violating it and a certain amount of time#tumblr will ban your account’ and then point out the many tens or hundreds of thousand notes posts explaining this exact thing#and that other people will not be kind enough to explain or point this out and if they get upset about it they can use another site#coz that’s the truth lol

I discovered these paintings by James McNeill Whistler recently, Nocturne in Black and Gold: Falling Rocket (top) and Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Firewheel (bottom). I’m sharing them because they make me think of Nevermoor, as so many things do.
With paintings, a nocturne refers to the depiction of night. This is derived from the musical term, where a nocturne refers to a musical piece that is “inspired by, or evocative of, the night.” These both just come from the fact that “nocturne” essentially means “of the night”.
On a basic level, this just reminds me of Nevermoor by the aesthetics. The dreamy nighttime setting strikes me the most, but also the sparks of yellow fire that make me think of Wunder. Think of how many important scenes happen at night- Morrigan on Eventide, the Museum of Stolen Moments, and the Hollowpox in Courage Square. But the concept has me thinking, obviously, about the Wundrous Art of Nocturne. The only songs we know are Morrigan and Squall’s, who both chose nursery rhymes as their Nocture. Their choices make me think of lullabies, sung at night… and there’s lots to think about with that.
#does anyone else see or understand my vision…..#nevermoor#nevermoor in the wild#another post from my drafts cuz I feel bad I have no art to share#only art history classes I actually took was animation history and then ancient and medieval so most of my info or knowledge from#anything later relies on me looking it up and seeing what research and info is online and etc etc etc#anyways. love whenever magic (of the wundrous arts variety) in nevermoor is compared to art or the process of making art. <333#I need to make a Pinterest / some other sort of site where I can share everything visually that reminds me of nevermoor. but also filterabl#and also where I can add notes for why different stuff makes me think of nevermoor or what I associate it with…..#bc I’m often sharing architecture in the discord but I also am always bookmarking clothes and stuff that I don’t share lol#I saw two clocks the other day at a history museum and also an alway thinking abt the Prague astronomical clock so my brain is always like:#‘wow just like the skyfaced clock :) nevermoor :)#circling back if anyone knows some sort of site like Pinterest where you can have bunch of images with notes and also filter between#different attributes pls lmk. I’m not a coder so I can’t think how to make smthn like that myself lol#I started this post like a month ago that’s why I don’t have anything better to say besides ending with ‘much to think about’ lol

Every day I come on here, as someone who works with immigrants for a living, and hold back rants about how every single person who refused to vote for the daughter of immigrants over the raping white supremacist who promised mass deportations is genuinely a horrible, irredeemable person who let tremendous harm occur because they're just like their Republican parents in believing liberals are worse than neo-Nazis.
#oh and people outside the country who spread GOP propaganda for free on this site#aren't free from my ire either#sorry for the random post! but not really#gotta let it out sometimes#this site never learned from 2016#I've unfollowed so many people#it doesn't matter how bad things get#they still sound like Fox News hosts ranting about Democrats#I can't stress enough that these are genuinely horrible people and I use no hyperbole here#I've joined other Harris voters in my 'fuck all of you' era#might delete later who knows

as shitty as what in hell is bad is as a game (especially due to pb's greed), the community on this site is absolutely wonderful so far and seeing all the posts on my home page makes me so happy ^^
#deembles#what in hell is bad#idk about other social media and i refuse to find out#i've seen people post about whb on tiktok and twt#twt was mainly fanart#most of which looks super good!#and tiktok seemed to be showing the cards or sth? idk i never clicked on any of the videos and just saw the thumbnails#tiktok to me is filled with children and people who think doggy-style is considered “hardcore sex”#and tbh i don't want those people near whb#the bigger issue is that tiktok doesn't allow 18+ content so you gotta censor shit and then you get interacted with by minors...#it's just gross#also nobody on tiktok knows what blocking means and so everyone is just being rude to each other like bruh...#twt at least lets you put your account on private and mark posts as mature iirc#i'm glad i'm not active on either of those sites/apps#rant? kinda?

trans discourse on tumblr is frequently irritating sure but its not even close to the shit happening on twitter. sometimes i have to see what they're doing over there just to get some perspective and appreciation for this site.
#i swear every time i glance at the site its like 90% absolutely miserable people demanding everyone be at their level.#which is a great incentive to not go on there i gotta say.#avpost#i open twitter. i see 2 funny posts. i see 3 people that make me go 'you are a pit' and instablock. i close twitter.#and then like 6 days later i forget how bad it is and take a peek back.#i dont spend more than 5 minutes on that site at a time anymore bc its inundated w people who unironically call each other Passoids.

i think the severe rise of spam bots within the last few months of 2024 singlehandedly killed whatever remained of ask culture on this site. we will not survive the winter
#and i am hesitant to say this because i dont want to be labeled something or other but it is definitely the war specific ones#taking advantage of a horrible situation and people's empathy#and you know you can cry this that and the other about virtue signaling or stupid selfish americans or whatever#but the truth is a lot of people have just been strung dry by so many copy and paste asks saying that a family's death will be on Their Han#and its specifically this situation and the horrors of it thats killing it. the pornbots werre one thing#but they didnt make people feel bad for a situation entirely out of their control/grasp. and they certainly didnt put pics of injured#children in their asks like i got <- real reason why i closed my asks for so long. and why i will likely do so again#and i am sure someone will read this and think 'wow this robyn goodfellowe chick is kind of a selfish bitch'#and thats ok i think i am too grown to care about the digital ramifications of this post. but it is an observation i have made#about this site specifically and not about the attacks as a whole#delete later
