#social media app idea

not to like, hop on the fuck tumblr train that’s been going around but choo choo motherfuckers i have an idea for a social media platform that will be completely feral. if you know coding (bc i do not) and you want to actually genuinely help with this let me know!! because i think i have something fun here.
at the beginning of the most recent wave of stupid updates that tumblr has so wonderfully (/s) supplied us, and when twitter became x, i realized that there’s kind of a gap in the market of a genuinely good social media platform and i was split between two options in my head.
Orbital, a “serious” social media platform that would have a lot of themes around space and take itself seriously as a genuine competitor for the virtual black hole that x and instagram and facebook has left over the last few years.
or Foolery, a less serious social media platform that would not take itself seriously and lean into the fuckery that is tumblr and twitter and somehow combine them, with themes around the circus and other performative careers.
can you guess which one i want to do?
(Foolery, it’s Foolery. i am obsessed with this stupid idea.)
so, i have put some thought into this. like, not a lot, but more than none! here is a few of the basics that i have thought about:
The sign-in/sign-up page would have a randomized slogan from a list of however many we come up with. ‘Welcome to the show’, ‘a place for tricks and treats’, ‘a place filled with shenanigans’ etc
Home Icon - a big top circus tent, where you would end up doom scrolling content. this would have two different modes, similar to tumblr, it would default to chronological, but you could also chose to participate in an algorithm.
Profile Icon - a clown nose, on desktop every time you click on it, it honks like a clown nose does. view your account here.
Creating a post would be called ‘Create an Act’ with different forms available—text, picture, video, poll, etc. the icon for this would be a quill.
Followers would be labeled as the Audience, which would be toggle-able, by default this is set to private, which means that only the owner of the account would be able to see the number, but can be turned public. There would also be an option to just list your Troupe, which would be your mutuals.
There are three admin accounts—Tom, Foolery, and Tomfoolery. Foolery is the publicity, Tom is the cryptid user that appears randomly to comment on peoples post, and Tomfoolery is updates, polling, feedback, etc.
Tickets are notifications as a whole—how many interactions with the post there are, whether that’s likes (peanuts), reposts (unnamed, maybe just reposts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), comments, etc.
Peanuts are likes. It means you enjoyed the Act (post). maybe feeds the algorithm.?
Golden Tickets are similar to blaze—you can use a Golden Ticket to boost an Act, whether it’s your own or another person’s, so it shows up as a recommended Act for more people in the same fandom/side of Foolery.
now onto the even less thought out ideas, but things that have been on my mind:
I want there to be a tagging system similar to tumblr, but a filtering system similar to ao3? idk if that makes sense, but my basic thoughts are: +tags are used to add to a certain tag and can be searched using that tag. -tags are used to exclude that tag, and can be used to avoid the tag itself. (ex. a post tagged with ‘+steddie’ would be able to be searched using the tag, but a post tagged ‘-steddie’ would specifically be excluded from that tag, but still used as a kind of ‘content warning’ type thing, like ‘-tw blood’ or something similar)
Tragedy/Comedy masks? idk what for, but i think they’d be fun.
Jester Hat - used to signify ‘official’ accounts? i doubt companies or celebrities would use Foolery because obviously but like. just in case, we can publicly shame them for using the literal clown app.
porn. nudity. whatever. nsfw SAFE babes. all your porn is welcome.
anti-ai sorry not really lol
and that’s all the thinking i’ve done about it. but like. i think it would be fun to create, i just don’t have the knowledge nor the resources to actually create a website or app. and if you couldn’t tell, it’s definitely slightly inspired by tumblr minus all of the bs that it’s doing lmao.
so. dm me ig? if you wanna do anything with this? i warn you now: idk what i am doing. i don’t have a discord set up or anything. and! nothing will probably come out of this. however!! it might be a fun project to fuck around with. my roommate is trying to learn coding and one of my closest online friends is in college for it, but i know nothing about it whatsoever and i think that we three people cannot do this alone.
#i don’t even know how to tag this post#social media#foolery#unsteddie ramblings#social media app idea#apps#uhh#idk#someone tell me what to tag this as and i will#long post

1-b social media pfps
monoma: photo he once managed to take of bakugo tripping over something. yes he gets threats over it, no he will not change it ever
setsuna: changes hers frequently, most of the time it's her newest cool selfie. sometimes the chosen pictures feature one or more of her geckos
tsuburaba: also changes his pfp all the time but in his case it's a dumb blurry selfie on monday, random cursed image on thursday and a dumb blurry picture of something else (sometimes also featuring his hand doing a thumbs up) on sunday
yui: just a solid color (im thinking peach or pastel pink) and it's been that way since forever
honenuki: somewhat poor quality picture of his cat that he finds endearing. it's also been that for a really long time. worth noting that his cat is incredibly ugly
shishida: it's not the exact same picture that's on his school ID but it could as well be
rin: originally he had no pfp and just went with the default. tsuburaba really hated that for some reason and kept pestering him to change it so eventually he added a hat to it bc he didn't know what picture to choose (tsub was pleased)
kinoko: fairly recent mirror selfie with a pink overlay and a bunch of cute effects added. her phone covers her face in the picture and the focus is on her frilly dress
reiko: pretty #aesthetic black and white portrait of herself taken by someone else
ibara: either a selfie taken from an awkward angle, boomer-uncle-on-facebook-style, or a bible quote image with a sunset background taken from the internet (too small to read)
tetsutetsu: cropped picture of himself with his friends taken in rather poor lighting. it is more on less centered on him but someone who doesn't know him could still have trouble telling which person is supposed to be him.
kendo: epic motorcycle pic (not her own </3)
kaibara: a nature photo he took once and liked a lot. he originally intended to change it every time he took a new favorite but ended up getting used to the first one he ever set his pfp as and hasnt changed it since
pony: cycles between selfies, picrews loosely based on herself, random pretty photos she takes (usually of the sky) and screencaps of her anime faves
awase: old photo of his dog, may he rest in peace
manga: goku
kuroiro: either a picture of himself wearing his favorite outfit with his face cropped off, or just solid black. can't decide
kamakiri: stick bug :)
shoda: slightly old pic of himself taken by someone else, zoomed out so it shows about half of his body. outfit and surroundings are nothing extraordinary but the picture has an inexplicably cool aura.
bondo: photo of a pretty flower. he's also never changed it
#bnha#class 1b#monoma neito#setsuna tokage#kosei tsuburaba#yui kodai#juzo honenuki#jurota shishida#hiryu rin#kinoko komori#reiko yanagi#ibara shiozaki#tetsutetsu tetsutetsu#itsuka kendo#sen kaibara#pony tsunotori#yosetsu awase#manga fukidashi#shihai kuroiro#togaru kamakiri#nirengeki shoda#kojiro bondo#PHEW#tikto's headcanons#the original idea for monomas was that the picture was taken by kaibara buuut yknow what#just because he likes taking pictures doesn't mean he took that one.#he's got better things to photograph than bakugo falling on his ass#still thanks to my friends for giving me this idea bc i was stumped lmao#by social media here i mostly mean like. whatever messaging app they use? line?#other social media i think arent something that everyone in the class would have

Whump Prompt #1322
Anon asked:
Do you have any whump ideas for a fairy?
It depends on what kind of fairy your character is/the general lore, but I have a few ideas:
They could be small and kept in a cage/jar with air holes. They could be a prized possession to collectors who trade them. Maybe some like to shake/shock/poke things into the cages.
Their wings are often trophy pieces for hunters. Maybe they don’t die when their wings are cut off, but it throws them off balance/makes them sick/weakens them. Maybe they can grow back, but only under certain circumstances. So if a collector knows this, they could leave the ‘stem’ of the wings so they can re-grow, and farm the wings for money.
^ if this happens to your character, maybe each wings have finger-print like properties, and when wings start to show up on the markets with specific markings, the caretakers are horrified.
Magic exhaustion could be pretty common for fairies.
I have an idea for an illness called ‘Wing Rot’ where fairies can get fungal infections of the wings causing them to, well, rot.
They could be drained of their powers by a curse/rune/magical pendant/shackles.
Maybe they have to fly away from danger but get shot out of the sky - bonus points if they’re carrying someone.

made an instagram account but the suggested people to follow is all the people I don't talk to anymore connected to the undeleted numbers in my phone and the siren call of stalking their accounts is too much for me
#need to get the instas of all the mutuals I've shown my face to so i have smth to actually look at on that app#but it's always weird to make a new social media account and have to do the rounds to everyone you know like “hey. follow me”#feels self absorbed or smth#unrelated other fun thing about making a new social is having no idea whether you want to post anything there or not#and the concept of posting feels like a whole Thing. hate that

Hmmm think. I might take a week or so off of social media type stuff as we go into October, and that does include tumblr considering I'm always here. Think that will be good for my brain. I also think that won't include discord because I still need to fucking talk to people, so if you wanna find me there I'll be, at some point. I need a little reset.
#therefore also if you want my discord feel free to ask mee#it's going into busy season at work and I would like to not like. dissociate by scrolling The Apps immediately + the whole time#and I Fear.#plus my anxiety is getting a little worse which usually means MORE social media is never a good idea lmao. lol.#I will still probably add things to drafts. etc. you can't be mad at me if something posts from some queue.#you should message me tbh or else I'll feel like I'm losing it again just a little ahshdk

Every time I come home from school, I have like 15 new notes on the book I'm reading. And if there's no notes on my book, then there's probably notes on my DC universe that I continue going back to and tinkering with when I'm bored. Or maybe there'll also be a vent post or two in there. I make a lot of notes while at school, and I'm making it routine to queue them to post while I'm at school. In fact, I'm probably going to be in school by the time this posts, because I've queued it for like 9 am tomorrow.

page 1 of discord's mobile feedback site (x) is looking great
rant in tags and my feedback comment slash expose slash opinion piece here x
#the new ui looks so bad god#ive got auto-update turned off stay safe out there#why do all apps and social media want to look the same#please just troubleshoot#you dont need to reinvent the wheel and the ui every julian year#its bad counterintuitive and actively hostile to disabled or neurodivergent people#have you not seen your community react to you changing small elements like the font??#“we've been hard at work making discord better for you”#first off you were what at work#second off well you fucked up#third off please run some tests to gauge out if people like the idea or not and dont make it mandatory#like add a legacy appearance option or smth#anyway rant over aura our#chatter#discord

I don't have an insta 😔
I do have to respect that honestly.
#instagram is one of the worse social media apps i use it only to post my own photography and scroll on my fyp which is well curated somehow#btw if you’re trying to date dont communicate on instagram#exchange numbers. keep that boundary and keep it sacred#dont let whoever ur trying to date see your social media presence#even worse if their dms are on silent who tf are you and whose dms are you trying to avoid?surely not mine#how are you going to set up a date with me when your insta DMs are on silent. you havent responded to me and its been 6 hours the day of!!!#how is it 3 pm and its your day off and we were supposed to have a date but youre acting like youre beyoncé omg text me the fuck back#plus you haven’t texted me two whole days#and im mad about it cause that’s a very attractive long haired peruvian man i mean wow! fuck this#had to block cause even if there wasn’t any commitment im not letting myself be disrespected the fuck#anyway if a man asks for your Snapchat specifically he is a serial killer and he will murder you OR he is twenty years old or younger#if a man asks for your TikTok he thinks youre in high school. we all are too classy for TikTok#TikTok is the temu of apps just trashy altogether. you open and there’s aliexpress-reminiscent ads…ew…I’ve only posted a few times#but every time i open the app i feel like I’ll catch lice it just feels unclean#we talk about twitter and how ass it is to use which is fair but tiktok is worse i mean…UI nightmare#a man that uses TikTok is off the deep end you can’t save him#he’s frying up his attention span. meaning he wont be able to focus on you as he should because you are a queen#instead he’ll think about skibidi toilet or some shit does anyone know what that is?i dont#imagine kissing a man having no idea he has that fucking ‘oh no oh no oh nonono’ audio stuck in his head#a man should read a book and even then that should be fucking controlled#im reading Freud right now and its torture. tbf it does happen to be sexuality theories#girl its fucking gross#academia is cooked cause in what world do i get creds for reading the most wack books in the history of ever?#I’ve read 11 books and half of them were boring#this Freud included and its repulsive to read and not even true.#why is it 2024 and im still being taught untrue info just cause old man from old times wrote it#i could clear freud. he literally was a cokehead#in the end he’s a man like the rest of them and if you show him TikTok his brain cells will be cooked#so who won?

So I've been watching videos on older tech stuff, right? I just find the history of how computer technology has developed from the 50s to now (a lot before the 50s is boring to me because most of it is just either "the military did it to kill people" or "Random Military Scientist #27 was bored and made Pong") fascinating. However, this background curiosity lead me to watch some videos on various cell phones from the late 90s to around 2010 - and that made me think of something...
Namely that this was PEAK phone design.
The Blackberry Style. And I'm 100% serious when I say that.
Think about it - it's the perfect level of connectivity. It has enough smart features for the shit that we need phones for today, while the flip design not only protects the screen, but in this modern hellscape of companies wanting everyone and their mother to scroll forever - to consume every ad fed to them, to tune the algorithms to them, to get their data and sell it off, and even to not-so-subtly push fascist propaganda through said algorithms like we've seen Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok do time and again - the inconvenience of that screen discourages that exact issue. The physical keyboard is also great for emails, texting, and for me, Discord since that's where I keep in touch with 90% of my friends - while also not having the keypad issues of taking 10 minutes for one message like you had on the older flip phones.
Put modern specs on this, a modern version of Android so it can run what I need it to (mainly just podcasts and Discord tbh), and okay Bluetooth for earbuds & handsfree car connectivity, and this is honestly the only phone I would use until the end of time instead of these stupid slabs of glass, with shitty touchscreen keyboards that cause more trouble than they're worth, that encourage doomscrolling and overconnectivity, and features most people will never fucking need.
#yes I WILL be an Old Ornery Hermit about this#and yes I AM kinda pissed that the closest thing we have to this today are those Cat-branded flip phones#because while that is ALMOST there#the use of a traditional keypad over the Blackberry-esque keyboard kinda kills the idea of using it for regular messaging to me#for real if there was a company that started as “hey we're just gonna make modern Blackberry Styles” I would love that#but unfortunately we'll never go back to this because every phone company is just as invested in shoving ads in your face#and getting your data to sell off#as the social media app companies#blackberry style#smartphones#smartphones are kinda Bad Actually

wattpad excluding fanfiction from the wattys is actually a joke. just don't give the winner money and give them a nice little sticker to put on their book. this is ridiculous
#d.tag#i feel like i should have a tag for hating wattpad#they went from being the best place to read books to something horrible#and it all happened when some authors went to radish to get money#so wattpad thought they could do the same#and just fucked everyone over and made a perfectly good app unusuable#not to mention that the website has been horrendous since the interface update like ten years ago#and it's only been getting worse#wattpad needs to remember it's not amazon#it's a social media yet they keep getting rid of features that make it social media#i wish someone would explain to me what their 10 year plan is for the company/website#is it going to be a bookshop??? is it going to be a library??#cause it sure as hell isn't going to be a social media app#i miss seeing what other people read on my newsfeed and the comments and everything#i miss the forums where you could meet people#it's literally losing all the functionality and then just making the only thing it does well (reading) horrible with all the ads#i have no idea how it's still an operational app and i honestly hate that there's no real good alternative#(that is if anyone has one i'm all ears)

return to tunglr for mental health purposes 💀
#this is unfortunately the safest of the apps#even posts i dont agree with arent like. fatphobic racist or transmisogynistic yk?#and no middle aged str8 white men trying to bully everyone around them here 😊#just a bunch of fellow neurodivergents and disabled queer ppl#its like coming back to my hometown in the sticks#just simple folk leading their simple online lives#you post a pic of a frog and everyone collectively nods and goes 'yeah'#occasionally someone will say something rly true about societal oppression and action to be taken#its a good place. it is the least stressful social media site ive found.#i love you guys#i have no idea what half the posts I see are about anymore. but i love you guys#about me#my face#also isnt it crazy that I considered myself masc-leaning for so long 💀💀💀#the inherent masculinization of black women is a hell of a drug. im so far from butch lmfao.

honestly I just realize I have social media just for the sake of having it, I mean I use snapchat to take and save photos, I use insta and twitter to look at stuff but I don’t really have anyone to talk to on it tbh
#saying this because someone just texted me saying merry christmas and I have no idea who it was#to be fair that's on me for not labeling the person as a contact#but to be fair not many people know have number so idk#i realize I don't have anyone to talk to on my socials tbh#i mean i use discord and what's app for school but like other than that#nope#i mean i have tiktok to look at stuff and laugh#tbh tumblr is the only media i'm active on tbh
