I'm literally so obsessed with people who like fully and completely ignored site lore in their own lore lamenting the Beastclan change. like are you telling me you threw out everything EXCEPT the colonialism

the real reason why tumblr is my favourite social media is people actually interact with the things I create here lmao. I post on any other app and most of the time even people I know don't stop long enough to drop a like on it

the tumblr sonic community is like 500 million times better than the sonic twitter community, like,,, unironically...

like the twitter sonic community lacks any media literacy skills to the point it kinda scares me, correction, it terrifies me

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)

I still can't get over how overwhelming tumblr desktop is now. Like, it's trying to be other apps, but doesn't get what a LOT of people hate about them, while trying to have old school tumblr vibes, and it just results in LOOK AT TUMBLR LIVE LOOK AT RADAR LOOK AT THESE BLOGS LOOK AT NOTIFICATION LOOK AT THIS RED BUTTON WE'RE WAVING AT YOU PRESS IT

I did give feedback to tumblr about the new layout but seriously @staff , I know you're all a bunch of folks getting paid way too little to maintain this site made out of ductape and pipecleaners but the current layout is a sensory nightmare.

A lot of tumblr folks, myself included, are a form of neurodivergent that can only handle so much stimulus before our brains nope out. This is too much stimulus in too little space.

I also know many folks who use extensions and apps to make social media apps like twitter, mastodon, and I suspect bluesky shortly, far less overwhelming by doing things like nixing "come check out this thing" tabs and widgets.

And seriously. The frog song thing and previous silly widgets? They were non-intrusive and just fun. This hexagon, which gives me no info on what it is, is just irritating. It's been waving at me while I write this post, even though I literally can't click it without losing the post. Or maybe I can. I don't know, it's not clear what it is aside, from something setting off my anxiety.

These changes to tumblr are overwhelming, and just aren't it. Please, take feedback like this into consideration so I can actually use tumblr again. I don't want to leave this site of anonymity, but I will if I'm forced off by bad UX. As will many others.

To he honest I do kinda love rolling out of bed at like 1pm to clock into work for 6pm, getting off work at 2am and then either immediately crashing or rewatching Revenge of the Sith and eating pizza alone in bed until past 4am then falling asleep and doing it all over again

Mfw loose lips sink ships but I wanna squee abt piracy... I want to brag abt my besties 'best book downloading site I have ever seen it is SAVING my college essays since zlib got ganked' and 'android streaming app that's functionally Netflix with its watchlist and player features but without the hassle of dealing with mobile browsers'

every time I see someone asking for a comprehensive lore/story/dialogue database or document for SSO I kick myself for not finishing that project because like. I've got basically all the pieces. It's just so much damn work that it is overwhelming.

Years back I recall SSO boasting their quest word count was over one million words. That's so much to type up and catalogue and that's not even including rewrites, which I would have to pay to replay and recatalogue (or find comprehensive play throughs)
