Hey Tumblr staff — we need a “Temporary Deactivation” option.

Not everyone wants to delete their blogs forever. Sometimes we just need a break — to pause, breathe, and come back when we’re ready. Right now, Tumblr only lets us delete everything permanently, which is extreme and honestly discouraging.

If you’ve ever wanted to step away for a bit without losing your content, blog name, or entire digital history, you’re not alone.

Let’s ask for it. Together.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Go to tumblr.com/support

2. Choose “Something else”

3. Politely ask them to consider adding a temporary deactivation feature (“Hi Tumblr team, Please consider adding a temporary deactivation feature. Sometimes we just need a break without losing our blogs or content forever”).

Thanks!

The more people who ask, the more likely they are to listen.

Reblog this to spread the word. Let’s make Tumblr better for all of us.

Bring me back to the good old days on here, not political bullshit and porn.

You are making tumblr almost unusable for me. Between the ads and the “recommended” posts, I’m hardly seeing any of the blogs I follow. It is becoming a waste of my time trying to parse through the nonsense you are forcing on me.

Tumblr, for the love of everything: Stop trying to make desktop like mobile. It is horrible. I cannot tell you how much I hate this aesthetic. Would you like to have a mass exodus of users like Twitter? You’re well on your way.

PUT IT BACK.

Thank you.

Tumblr please don’t try to be Twitter

1. I cannot stand it when I can’t see everything in order of when they were posted. Most of GenX is like this.

2. Everyone hates Twitter right now except for loudmouth bigots who since 2016 decided to be vocal about the fact that they are one but that’s where Everyone is so they are still using the site and that’s why.

3. Listen to the users that didn’t leave when you banned nsfw which was keeping this site alive. We bowed our heads and sighed at that shit, but we stayed. We had hope you wouldn’t try and be Twitter.

4. Listen to your users when we say we hate not being able to turn off Tumblr Live which is the cringiest cringe that ever cringed.

5. Please listen to us. Do not fuck this up more than you already have. I’d be far more interested in paying for Tumblr if it didn’t try to be Twitter. 

6. Nothing is wrong with cock and boobs as long as we can filter it properly and not get flooded with porn bot follows. What is wrong is people shoving religion down our throats and wanting to go back to 1950.

Honey , wake up , @staff made a mess again !

[titanthepoet]

Some kind of connection to be made with discord users should boost activity.

[vaes]

this new tumblr layout can actually eat shit. this is a hellscape

[freshglittersstuff]

I hate Tumblr live. All for porn and weird shit. Tumblr took off porn but installed crap. Hate it. Throw it out.

@staff What in the actual hell is happening over there??

here's your fucking feedback @staff

list of problems the removal of icons causes:

i cant see my friends

ruins the sense of community

can't tell at a glance who's online right now and what they're interested in

literally cannot tell without scrolling back up who put a post on my dash if it has a single addition attached to it. or like. 2 paragraphs in the op.

i cant click my own icon at the top of the dash to quickly view my own blog

can't tell who someone used to be if they change their username

squashes the margins between the menu and posts, making the whole dash feel more cramped

ruins the quick visual cue of how long each post is and where it ends when you're trying to scroll past ones youve seen before

people put a lot of creativity and individuality into icons, and now i never see them

makes people who primarily reblog instead of make their own posts all but completely disappear

list of problems solved by removing icons:

?????

who the fuck was asking for this

ive never in my life seen a website or app that has profile pics forcibly HIDE them, so i guess you did it you made the dash unique again in the worst way

here's some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere

New Account

So, about two weeks ago I tried to log into my (old) account, and for some reason nothing was coming up. That day I just assumed something was wrong with the website. After all, I'd been using the site for almost ten years and nothing had ever gone wrong before. Why would I worry?

Second day, I try to log in and everything still looks down. At that point I try to log in through the mobile app. It never resolves. I try logging in to a different account I rarely use, and bam, that one is working. Apparently, the site is fine. For some reason, I try to search up my main account and nothing shows up. I put in a tag to search for it, and the only thing that comes up is a friend of mine who had a year in review with my tag. My account which I'd been writing and posting on was now a ghost.

So, I wasn't too worried yet. I messaged Tumblr support. Told them what was happening, and guess what? Been about two weeks now and they still haven't responded. I got tired of waiting, so I made this account. Maybe Tumblr will finally decide to answer my email, but for some reason I kinda doubt it.

The only saving grace is that most of my writing is still copied on my computer, though some was written directly on the site, and by the look of it, I may not get some of that back.

Oh, the marvels of the modern world.

googling: how to turn off Tumblrs 'this user is posting for the first time in a while' as we SPEAK

[xforce11]

Dear @tumblr when is this crap going to go away from the website? Yes we can go into the setting and choose to snooze, but we don't want it at all, or at lease a way to turn if off forever.

Sincerely, Every person that actually uses Tumblr
