#as a social media website | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

tbh seeing ppl call tumblr a social media is odd to me. its a blogging platform with social aspects... you CAN socialize but every time a "social media feature" is added the entire site hisses and spits in its direction. Because... Tumblr isn't a social media, it's a blogging site.

#burrow.html #idk i think its some kinda modern internet brainrot to think of every slightly social site #as a social media website #let the internet be diverse #the idea that everything has to be social media is rotting our brains

Yearly reminder to everyone trying to find alternatives to tumblr/social media in general: go make a Neocities account and teach yourself basic HTML and post your art/writing/shitposts there.

It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!

You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.

Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.

Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.

The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.

If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).

I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.

I love Tumblr because nothing matters here truly. There are no influencers. Having followers doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a site where people post their sporadic thoughts and rb pretty pictures. Anyone who thinks any of this matters is woefully missing the point

#I joined tumblr for the aesthetics and now I’m here bc it’s the most low pressure social media to be on #Instagram is ppl’s highlight reel but Tumblr is where u see their pure thoughts unobstructed and I adore that #It’s very nice to have people to relate to and is def the main appeal to me but I don’t think there’s much more to it than that genuinely #Monetization on tumblr isn’t a thing and probably won’t be so it feels stupid to put more stake than necessary in it. Like you’re in the #Trenches over tumblr of all things. Embarrassing #I know chronically online people exist bc I have seen them in my or somebody else’s inbox but imagine waking up at 70 one day and the #Realization hitting u like a freight time that u wasted all ur time thinking tumblr. TUMBLR. This dying website. Has enough weight for u to #be sending anon hate or reviewing ppl’s blogs like they’re some kind of product. Brother this is licherally tumblr #I choose to laugh at this behavior than take it seriously bc absolutely no one is driving me crazy on my OWN blog. On tumblr dot com.#I refuse #I will do whatever I want forever etc

Dc x dp idea 133

Danny is really confused. Like sure he made a fake account in order “use” his parents completely valid and not in biased research on ghosts.

Cause obviously. Their completely legit research disproves multiple peer reviewed and factual papers.

Tucker made the fake account. No real names or numbers. So. They couldn’t know it was him right?!??

He just wanted people to see how wack the papers were and bring to light the very not accurate papers. He figured using botched research to counter claim others would do something.

But??? Why was the flash in his living room arguing with his parents about scientific articles. And proper research??

#dpxdc #dpxdc prompt #dcxdp crossover #Danny managed to piss off thenscience community #fentons are making a mockery of it #the papers were getting flack #but a look at the fentonWorks website caused the investigation #they mentioned some experiments #some pretty unethical things #which turned into a violation of the anti meta acts #and given the security system that no one could disable #it’s enfused with ecto #then the weapons destruction trail via social media #well. best to send some hero’s #flash just has personal beef with the fentons

Do you go by it/its exclusively now? Do you want your wikipedia page to be updated?

the wikipedia article is partially edit protected because people keep trying to edit the pronouns in it without checking either the talk page, the page history or at the very least the linked references on the footnote regarding my pronouns. i have to tell people on here not to edit the pronouns in the article almost every single month and half the time someone sees me asking not to go change them as some sort of challenge and immediately goes to edit the article. please just don't.

#and to answer the first part of your question #i very much prefer it/its especially in non formal settings which is why that's the only thing it says on my social media profiles #if you were to check my website you'd see it still says it/she (which by the way isn't a mistake you need to point out to me i know myself)

every time i say tumblr staff (and tumblr itself let's be real) made social media worse by never punishing harassment, allowing people to get comfortable pushing cancel and callout culture so they could harass and dehumanize anyone (especially minorities) they want without ever having to worry about consequences, an attitude they brought with them to other websites like tiktok and twitter after the 2018 porn ban....

This is what I'm talking about. tumblr staff doesn't give a shit if you're stalked and harassed, but if you're a trans woman posting selfies? instant ban.

tumblr staff has NEVER done anything to protect its users, but now they're actively participating in doing the harm.

#jem blogs #tumblr #staff #transphobia #social media #and if all that shit isn't annoying enough i now have to constantly hear about how tumblr Is The Only Good Website Now™#like no the FUCK it's not #tumblr's been harassing people for fucking ages and now staff is *openly* jumping in on it too #stop trying to revisionize tumblr into your perfect uwu website and acknowledge the bullshit going on right now #and no i'm not saying tumblr invented callout culture obviously the act of digging up dirt on someone to punish them is nothing new #i just say that on the internet? i have pretty good reason to belive tumblr's been doing that longer and more actively than other websites #john green and xkit guy being two of the oldest examples of people being accused of being predators/pedos with no evidence #and having to leave the website to protect themselves

Everyone's afraid of clowns but I think you have to understand what context they're in matters, for your own health and safety,like, for example:

Clowns at a circus/fair/carnival- this is their natural habitat, they are happy and content. As long as you keep a respectful distance you're completely safe

Clowns at a birthday party/rodeo- off leash but highly trained and disciplined, their trainer is nearby for emergencies. They have been bred for close contact and even enjoy interaction with people

Clowns at a store grand opening- this is a concrete zoo for them. For your own safety do not approach too quickly or they might startle and lash out

If you do see a clown in the wild, stop, and back away slowly. If the clown begins making balloon animals be prepared to fight, you cannot run, they are much quicker than you and WILL catch up. A quick strike to the nose should be enough to subdue them. In the event of a clown bite seek medical care immediately, as symptoms will begin setting in quickly.

If you have not sought a medical professional within 24 hours of the bite, the changes will be permanent. In a case like this, trained professionals will escort you to the nearest clown College where you will be accepted into the fold. But this is a worse case scenario, and only about 10% of clown bites have this outcome :)

#hey how do you think professional clowns feel about these kinds of posts #i feel like tumblr would be the social media used most by clowns #statistically speaking theres gotta be some clowns on this website

Big fan of the way Dracula Daily hasn't broken out of Tumblr in any real way

primarily, because I love being able to casually mention it to non-tumblr friends like I'm just that kind of cool, intellectual and cultural person who signs up to projects where you read a classic novel over the course of 6 months, and not because it's a big social media trend.

Whilst, actually it is a big social media trend, and I get to make and see lots of stupid memes and just, have fun with y'all in this space

#literally ideal #in a similar vain to the superiority you get to feel when tumblr is your social media of choice #oh. Instagram? never heard of her?#i actually don't really use social media #[is addicted to a social media platform most of the internet abandoned]#woes of emily #Dracula daily #also to be clear. I'm not lying to my friends so they think I'm cool 😂#i link it to tumblr. but i dont think most people understand how active tumblr still is #and tbh. even in it's hay-day lots of people still referred to it as 'the art website'

once again i am asking tumblr to hold public polls for users to vote on potential changes. imagine if you were the 'respect our users opinion website'. like that could be us but apparently not.

#not dogs #tumblr #not all change is bad but i think the new desktop changes are actually terrible?#i want less clutter not more #staff SAYS they want to give us options #okay so develop some options and have us vote for them before release #as an actual real life election official i want this #bc i think most physical changes to websites are entirely useless and redundant #also why would you copy a social media site that is FAILING #@staff you made polls. please fucking use them #and release the results publicaly i swear to fuck #like if you want users to spend money on this website you kinda need to uh. listen to them?#i also think TELLING people they are testing a new feature that may or may not be permanent would be good #so that people don't come in to change they think is potentially permanent #not that i think the desktop stuff isn't going to be #tumblr has shown time and time again that they value only new users coming in from twitter

"distant relative" i assume you are referring to my father?

#happy father's day everyone!#mine was fucking terrible he received a C- rating at best #and that is me being fucking GENEROUS with the grading rubric yeah #anyway i love and respect anyone who feels the need to quietly publicly shame their negligent father figure on anonymous social media #there should be a RateMyProfessor website but it's RateMyParents #it would serve no possible practical purpose but it would be as potentially psychologically scalding as a ghost pepper and/or supernova so.#do it #.......that could actually be so interesting #comparing and contrasting the reviews of siblings and half-siblings and step-siblings #the differences in parental perception between the Black Sheep/Scapegoat and the Golden Child and the Middle Child and So On #(on that note why are the two main idioms for being blacklisted in your own family both *livestock* related who laid that groundwork)#ANYway. back to RateMyFather #this one dad gets nine 5-star reviews and one absolutely SCATHING no-stars review #which mathematically leaves him with a 4.5 rating BUT #the main thing you are left wondering is how did one dad end up with TEN reviews that is in itself an Indictment

we gotta bring back livejournal and wordpress and forums and weird little blogsites that aren't connected to any social media presence at all its just people online doing online things. the internet is so small now bc we're all squished into the same sites. we used to be so spread out. we used to be a proper decentralised digital culture

#this is why i love ao3 so much tbh its like the only website that still functions like the olden times #no data tracking or whatever and its all communal #we need more of that #does this make any sense #livejournal #wordpress #archive of our own #ao3 #old internet #blogging #luddite #luddite era #social media #.txt #alex talks #internet history #greatest hits

I would honestly call the left's inability to accomodate people with morality-based OCD compulsions an accessibility issue at this point.

#coming under this: black and white morality thinking!#constant guilting about posting on social media showing your true values and personality!#shitting on people for their alarm about protest suicide! (with bonus 'how dare you insinuite mental illness was a factor!')#glorification of making yourself suffer mentally by viewing uncensored war imagery in 'solidarity' for those suffering in war!#unquestioning acceptance of all of the above as good and right!#promoting the idea that the individual self is expendable and that focusing on yourself (even to survive) is a reflection of your character #seriously this website cares so much about mental health until suddenly it doesn't- fuck the left so much for this i'm so triggered by this #not to be graphic but if i ever take my own life and claim it is for activism- this is not out of the realm of possibility #i DO NOT want anyone to justify my decision with it being activism and indirectly encourage others to do the same #i want people to instead look at the kind of rhetoric that causes people to choose this as a way out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#this idea would not leave me alone #i had to make it #piper is the kind of mom to pull this kind of thing dont @ me #she wants to show off her amazing son to everyone #tbh this is a WAY better peace offering than what I gave before #also if you're wondering why piper looks a bit weird in the pic #its because she apparently has no back sprite?? not one i could find at least #so i had to compromise. and found a 3D model of piper. and took a screenshot of her back #honestly i was so lucky quincy had his back shown in one of the artwork on the steamworld heist 2 website #btw yes i am fully aware seabrass would never have a social media #i just think him posting about piper being a mom is very funny to me.#fen is the one who is Actually most likely to have a social media account. not that it would be used much anyway.#the fire burns #the fire crackles with joy #steamworld heist #steamworld heist 2 #captain piper faraday #piper faraday #quincy leeway #steamworld
