Yes I just read the staff post. Total bullshit. It’s like they don’t know their user base at all. Tumblr apparently wants to be some kind of pink fluffy censorship nightmare and I feel appalled.

I could censor myself but I really don’t want to. Tumblr was great for my purposes. Yes, of course it’s a hellhole of stupidity but as I never did The Discourse my existence here was rather peaceful while still getting to enjoy everything I’m interested in from art to writing to Star Wars news. I wish there was another platform that offered such a wide variety of content but right now nothing comparable comes to mind. Every other popular platform seems rather tailored for either art OR writing. And Twitter is just bullshit. Nothing but stanning, fighting and vapid opinions. I use my twitter more less as Tumblr backup.

I liked Tumblr exactly for the same reason other people hated it. Because it was a vast unregulated mess. Well, that’s certainly over now.

Maybe I’ll give pillowfort a try but if that’s the next big thing remains to be seen.
