Some of them are massively increasing the circulation of inside jokes, some are reverting to pre-Dashcon levels of cringe, some are trying to revive the 2014-era fandoms, and some are just being flat-out unhinged.

Going to Tumblr tips from a Tumblr kid: 1.) Do not use tags if they don't apply to your post. 2.) Block tags if needed, it blacks posts. 3.) There is no algorithm. Just look up a topic you like, scroll through the content, and follow the blogs you enjoyed most. 4.) REBLOG. Likes are just there to look pretty. Your best bet to interacting and getting more cool content is reblogging.

twitter is the only place i can actually browse through art. i follow like 1k people and all of them are art accounts, im not a fan of other social media sites like instagram or deviantart cuz it just doesnt feel the same idk, so im a bit sad that a lot of artists are either only posting in lists(?) or migrating to other sites

Twitter and Facebook dying can only do more good than bad for the world. I do feel sorry for all the workers in both companies though. Some I even knew personally who were recently laid off. Hope they can find something else quickly. But still, though, I feel that these sites do more harm than good at this point.

[@Just_a_commenter]

The only downside of Twatter going down the toilet is that it reduces the likelihood of me seeing people posting their L's. Like, how else am I going to see people sharing to the entirety of the internet that they accidentally sent a vore image to their professor instead of a project file? That content is gold and I don't want to lose it!

[@birchbarks550]

Fun fact, Tumblr rolled out a Very Important Checkmark yesterday where you can buy TWO checkmarks for 7.99$ and it gets displayed next to you name, it stacks up to 12 (And because it's the hellsite it didn't show up for the entire first day, on mobile or PC

probably my personal favorite thing to come out of this was when two members of a band i like (one of whom has a full-time job and two kids now so he never posts lmao) were discussing the whole checkmark thing & then people noticed that one of the other members had liked the tweet at 4:22 💀

She promised “not to screw it up,” but things did not go well and after passing from Yahoo to Verizon, Tumblr was sold to the owner of Wordpress for $3 million in 2019." honestly tumblr belonging to wordpress, which is pretty much now known as a few hobbyists' blog site, is fitting for tumblr.

Tumblr is thriving. They introduced a donation system where if you donate to the website, you get TWO checkmarks next to your name, and one day they will turn into crabs. They also stack and you can get up to 24 checkmarks.

Regardless if it was intended. If he though people wouldn’t be okay with 8 a month, throwing out 20 beforehand was a smart move. It’s the same stance in regards for prices when you want to sell a house or ground. If you want 10k but know you can’t get that flat out then you list it for 15-20k. When the haggle time hits you’re already in a much better position to either sell your stuff for the price it’s actually worth or more than you hoped for.

[@ons1m598]

Yep! Fun fact this is sometimes known as the "Door in the Face" policy of haggling, as opposed to "Foot in the Door" where you start low and slowly jack up the price over time (think all those streaming sites that had really low costs at first and slowly raised them)

the twitter experience is so wildly different just based on how you cultivate it. like i followed 1 person who was practically active all hours of the day who would complain about all sorts of drama, and then i cut twitter. holy shit life got so much easier not thinking about what that person's blowing up about i'd say the same for reddit too. i visit those websites now and then for art and content i enjoy and maybe it's because i'm no longer "ingrained" into the media but it feels like a lot of the userbase is following suit.
