I feel like. the main difference between tumblr and Twitter is privacy. Twitter shows so much more personal information and so much about you that you can't turn off. your likes are right there, a way to get in contact (should you provide it) is right there, who you follow is right there. and yeah, reeeally private info is hidden but it's so easy to forget to turn that off. location. phone number. email. birthday. and Twitter the app gets access to it all.
tumblr, for all its faults, is far more anonymous. yeah an email needs to be provided and, at least before The Great Purge a birthday as well (I've had tumblr for Years so who tf knows what else you need to sign up anymore) but you have the option of not letting people see who you follow. see what you like. and no one knows how many people follow you either! there's less pressure to be perfect all the time, an impossible task. there's less shame or stigma around blocking and moving on. no one will get offended fuz christ no one even knows you. and isn't that wonderful?
Twitter is great for marketing because it encourages your followers to feel like they know you. (and side note, no they don't. they don't at all. you can not know someone when they have a word count attached to what they're saying, things can be twisted so easily...) and that's great for marketing yourself but for being yourself? yeah, no, ill take tumblr over Twitter any day. at least I don't feel like I'm on a knifes edge, one badly misconstrued tweet away from having people calling for my blood.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!! like theres jus. So much more room to Breathe on here???? In the way of privacy and havin More Control over ur own information, what you dsiplay and allow others to see, etcetcetc.
Even jus like. Talkin format n function wise too its so much more Open and Customizable. I can edit my posts and queue them and the word limit is barely a consideration. Tags make it easy for me to mandate whats seen in what community on here. I can make my blog look how i want and just..... do what i want? Its great.
Twitter feels So Much like it was built with 'famous' people in mind and so its like. About ppl who are Known and Recognizable with a Name to em. It doesnt feel welcoming for ppl who jus wanna Vibe. But here i can talk shit and not get dozens of ppl yelling at me or bout how Horrible i am. Its beautiful
