Elon’s mom should’ve named him Eon, bc that’s how long we’re going to have to deal w him and the consequences of his actions

Pending Elon Musks ultimatum for staff to work "long hours at high intensity or else leave the company". Well a lot of them have decided to leave. It's currently unclear how many have left, but a significant amount of Twitter staff have decided to take an exit plan.

Things are getting worse for Twitter yet again. Musk is too arrogant to understand that if he wants to achieve the impossible goal of saving Twitter, he needs to treat his staff like gold. Treating them life peasants, is not going to work. Of course so many have left. Why wouldn't they?

The sinking of Twitter will prove two things:

Elon Musk will be forever remembered as the man who killed Twitter

Capitalism DOESN'T work

I cannot stress enough to Tumblr staff that they do not need to change the site. Do not try to be like Twitter. Do not try to be like Reddit. Do not alter how this site works.

Tumblr will be the most popular social media site if they continue letting all these other sites implode

#glad to see staff doing their part

I love that musk is groveling asking people to pay for their blue checkmarks while tumblr's fundraising solution was to sell a tiny shitting horse, shoe laces, forced post visibility, and crab rain

Learning to internalize the message above, but art is in all of our bones. If you feel afraid to create art because it won't be "good enough," it's worth it to explore why you feel that fear. Creating art is one of the basic impulses of people, and if you want to create art, then you absolutely must.

today reddit bumped off third party apps, Elon decided you can only read 600 twitter posts a day(!?), and YouTube is banning adblockers

tumblr, held together by hope and spit, presumed dead by many, really is one of the last decent media sites left standing

lmao tumblr letting their users choose whether or not they want their likes to be public but then pulling a twitter 2.0 and showing your likes on your followers’ dashboards and specially saying who liked the posts in their new update, without the users’ consent or a way to turn it off, is actually pretty insane.

like how many times to we — the users — have to tell them we don’t want tumblr to be like any other social media platforms and that tumblr’s being different than twitter, instagram, tiktok is actually what makes us stay on this silly little site.

respectfully @staff you’re driving your users away. stop trying to “fix” things that are good and don’t need to be fixed. we want tumblr to be tumblr. we don’t want the site to be twitter or instagram 2.0

edit: so at first I was under the impression that you could turn off the “posts liked by blogs you follow” in your dashboard preferences, but couldn’t control how your own likes showed up on the dashboards of your followers, after I saw several posts claiming that this was the case. — however, now I think I might be wrong and it thankfully does look like as long as you have your likes set to private, they will stay private and will not be showing up on your followers’ dashboards. apologize for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

* from my understanding now, you can choose not to see other people’s likes by going to your dashboard preferences in the settings and turning off the “posts liked by blogs you follow” option, and if you have your own likes set to private, they won’t be showing up on your followers’ dashboards.

Tumblr’s Twitter account wasn’t banned with the others because only accounts that promote social medias get banned, and what Staff is doing over there is the equivalent of showing someone a used car and telling them that the frame is rusted through, and that it only comes with three tires.

hey @staff this is a bad look lmao

guys why do you think we come to tumblr for...... the twitter experience??

Merry Stone Ocean Xmas from Kohei Ashiya on twitter (twitter.com/asikoh009).

oh nO i just got hit by the new layout

ITS SO UGLY?? IT LOOKS LIKE TWITTER BUT WORSE?? BRING BACK MY OLD DASHBOARD PLEASE?? WHAT IS THIS??? This actively makes me want to avoid going on to tumblr y i k e s

@staff where can i leave feedback to get this changed back ASAP?

Edit: LEAVE FEEDBACK. please check reblogs for information on how to send feedback to tumblr. Be respectful when you send it or your feedback may be ignored, but let them know you don't like it by officially sending them feedback. If they get enough people telling them we don't like this new update, we might be able to get them to roll it right back where it came from.

sometimes I forget that tumblr is an actual legitimate company with a bunch of employees and not like ten slightly inebriated people huddled over a pc at 1 am in a basement discussing how many ways they can say fuck you to twitter

Its on Tumblr so it's different

If tumblr starts pushing algorithm-based “content” instead of just showing the damn blogs we follow we need to move to MySpace or something
