back when i was on my way out of twitter (pre-musk) i tried a last ditch effort to make my experience a little better because there was still some really cool artists i followed that i didn't wanna leave behind.

what had made my experience exponentially worse was the trending tab. it was an absolute fucking hellhole of the most fucking horrific, bigoted, flamebaitey nonsense ever.

shit like LGBdroptheT, TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada, (i am canadian) that one fucking trans teacher in Ontario with the giant titties that the righties and transphobes constantly freak the fuck out about, trump shit, you get the point. nonsense culture wars, bigotry, racism, and political bullshit.

i spent 2 full MONTHS hitting the "see less often" and "this trend is harmful or spammy" button on all of those stupid fucking trends every single day and they still didn't go away.

eventually the straw that broke the camels back was when the elon takeover was near. i tried to make a trend about him go away, when i fat-fingered the trend itself and projected into my eyeballs is possibly the most fucking atrocious example of passive-agressive transphobia i had ever seen. i tell the person to quote "shove a lead pipe so far up your ass it becomes your breathing tube, you fucking cunt-ass transphobe" and i immediately get a 7 day ban for hate speech

i was the one who got banned for hate speech

after that i just uninstalled the app and migrated to tumblr fully. my reddit account met a similar fate not long after.

im not saying tumblr is a paradise where there's no bad people and everything is sunshine and rainbows. there's lots of terfs and radfems plaguing this platform. what makes it tolerable is that you can block them and the tags they use to communicate, along with the fact that we normal thinking folk massively outnumber them.

sometimes it's sometimes even a bit enjoyable watching one of them post cringe and then get absolutely obliterated repeatedly by everyone else.

i just hope this place stays this way and doesn't turn into another twitter-like hellscale. please tumblr staff, i beg of you.

i just realized as i was wrapping this up that i am about to nuke hackfurs with a literal novel (im sorry)

"suggest this less" "show this less" "recommend this less" i hate how across the internet our ability to curate our own experience, hell even our ability to give a definitive fucking NO to shit, is being stolen from us. its infuriating. "okay, we wont show you this as often... but we will still show it to you" MOTHER FUCKER I SAID NO.
