REMINDER TO THE TWITTER REGUGEES THAT TUMBLR IS AN INTERACTIVE SITE.

See how your dashboard is covered in posts? Yeah, that's because people reblogged them. Reblog posts. Reblog artwork and gifsets and text posts. If you like a post, reblog it.

"Oh but I'm nervous about social interaction" reblogging isn't social interaction. It's not. It's adding things to a virtual scrapbook by yeeting the additions into a swirling vortex. No interaction necessary. Someone makes a post you like, you reblog it, that's it. Job done. Zero interaction, but a post has made it one step further in finding its way to people that might enjoy it.

Reblog stuff. For fucks sake.

Also if you are on mobile and think reblogging takes to much effort compared to hitting "like", you can fast-reblog, without adding tags or other stuff, by dragging the reblog icon.

Also, if you don't post or reblog anything, people will assume you're a bot, especially if you have a default icon.

Also, if you don’t reblog anything, the folks who make the posts you’re enjoying but not reblogging will get discouraged and leave. And the quality and quantity of posts for you to enjoy will go down.

Tumblr pushing $19 shoelaces, forcing posts to be labeled,, adding tips & plus, and such kinda feels like the bubble popped.

Like idk how to explain it. As someone who's been on Tumblr for literally over a decade it finally feels like the bubble that kept Tumblr from seeming like other social media has ended.

The end of an era.

It all feels very recent and of course I googled to see why.

A techbro bought Tumblr in 2019 and his goal is to essentially house-flip Tumblr. He was concerned with how little income Tumblr made compared to what it spent. It was literally only worth $3 mil when he bought it in fact (good job, besties we did that. Yahoo bought it from 1.1 billion and that's laughable today).

For the record he said his company Automattic (our new parent company) is an upgrades and subscription company which he fully intends to (and started to) implement within Tumblr, he fully intends to start hiding certain things behind paywalls and such. (Also he doesn't think we have enough ads)

He attempted that with plus and obviously it's not used widely so like idk what his plan is if we all just refuse to monetize and capitalize off our blogs.

Anyway, we are really just some techbro's latest interest and that's exactly what it feels like.

Like look at his face. Look at it. He's so visibly one of those cringe techbro douches.

That's the face of a man who deserves to be bullied by tumblr's userbase. Worst owner since I've been using this site.

I hope it's worth $3 by the time he's sick of trying to squeeze money out this cursed site

tumblr tech bros tho technically it can't be bullying when you're punching up automattic hellsite (statement of fact)

I think if you want to call something a "———— heritage post" then it needs to be from like, a bygone era of [tumblr]. it can't be a heritage post if it's from a year ago

@freshgarlicbread thank you for asking 👍

i think the eras of [tumblr] are fairly vague but can pretty much be defined as:

  1. 2007–2010 [tumblr]; a mostly unused site. boring.
  2. 2010–2014 [tumblr]; fourth biggest social media platform in the world. fandom vs hipster. denny's. mostly high school/college aged users. most like modern tiktok.
  3. 2014–2018 [tumblr]; yahoo acquisition and dashcon killed new user intake. everything became cringe, the vibe changed drastically. most like modern twitter.
  4. 2018–2022 [tumblr]; porn ban happened. roughly half the userbase vanished overnight. suddenly a much more insular community of late-20 somethings. most like modern... google plus?
  5. 2022–2026 [tumblr]; present day. wordpress started making rapid changes, the porn ban was relaxed, twitter migration started to some extent. life is happy.
  6. 2026–2030 [tumblr]; posts removed in favour of tumblr live, no real moderation (outlawing of machine learning), site becomes almost all pornography and shock videos. most like modern 4chan.
  7. 2030– [tumblr]; final act of president jess biden is to take the site offline after the string of assassinations it caused. users migrate to tin can on a string dot gov. most like an episode of seinfeld

I always love seeing this comic because it interprets Tumblr as a gigantic theater ruled by absolute chaos where sometimes somebody just stands up on their chair and shouts and we all pay attention

You telling me someone gaslit me on my own post?

lmao reblogging for the additions comic

Went poking around the web settings and found out that, since Tumblr has no birthday on file for me, even a birth year, I must have made this account in or before 2011. Huh. Guess I’m even more than a Tumblr Old than I thought, and just tricked myself with my periodic ‘delete everything I’ve ever posted or reblogged’ phases in the early twenty-teens.

SAG-AFTRA Lays Out Strike Rules: No Shoots, No Press, No Social Media Promos
Actors union has notified publicists of what is expected should a strike be called on Wednesday night
Yahoo Entertainment

oh it's going down

  • Along with stepping away from all film and television productions worldwide, actors will not be permitted to take part in promotional work of any kind, including press junkets, film premieres, and fan events like San Diego Comic-Con.
  • Sources also say that SAG-AFTRA has informed publicists that any scheduled press or acting work after a strike is ordered must be cancelled. SAG-AFTRA members are also not permitted to promote any work on social media, as that is considered publicity.
  • Actors are permitted to attend the pop culture convention as long as they don’t take part in any panels that promote a specific film or television show or discuss any current or future work. While attendance is allowed, individuals with knowledge of the publicist meeting tell TheWrap that SAG-AFTRA would prefer that its members completely skip the event [SDCC] later this month.
