scrawnytreedemonActually went ahead and made myself a Bluesky! Didn't think I'd be doing that anytime soon, but Tumblr had to go ahead and shit the bed (:
The management of that site must have fungus for brains or something — Anyone with an ounce of awareness would know that Tumblr doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell imitating Twitter when Xitter (X/Twitter), Bluesky and Threads are all already doing that. I genuinely love Tumblr's functionality (buggy though it may be) — I LIKE that it isn't like other sites! I like that it's its own thing! It really seems that no one who's bought the site has the good sense to lean into that.
I know we have this discussion every time a wide-reaching negative change occurs on this website, but I really have to wonder if we are approaching the end of the line here. They can't keep operating at a deficit, and it seems like nothing they do actually draws in the crowd capable of keeping them afloat financially, and their most prolific users are by in large are broke anticapitalist queer people with hardly a penny to their name and a well-earned disgust for the management over their treatment of trans women that discourages any desire to spend money on the site in the event they do have it. This isn't sustainable!
Urgh, sorry for the downer post. Hopefully I can come here with something more positive soon. Maybe I'll share my Sims 2 shenanigans in some sort of a personal retrospective with regards my playstyle. Who knows?
