extremely funny how tiidenberg hendry and abidin's tumblr (2021) consistently brings up the group chats as a feature possibly indicating a new direction for tumblr. i would say i wonder if they ever saw my group (for those who werent there, i ran the "sluts" group chat which was one of the first group chats on tumblr when they added the feature in 2019(?) and i got access to it as part of the very first round of users they gave it to. and then for months it kept getting recommended to everyone which lead to a bunch of posts screenshotting it getting a lot of notes) but i'd doubt it bc they say they didnt come across any explicitly sexual group chats and all we did in there was look for the most sexual gifs we could find

("tumblr" by Katrin Tiidenberg, Crystal Abidin, Natalie Ann Hendry)

[pscottm]

In their book Tumblr, authors Katrin Tiidenberg, Natalie Ann Hendry, and Crystal Abidin use the meme to underscore their argument that Tumblr's impact cannot be well-understood through simple mean averages, noting that when one user cited USA Today's estimate that the average user spends a mere 2.5 hours per month on Tumblr, another user responded saying "average person spends 0 hours per month. We Georg, who live in caves & spend over 23 hours on Tumblr each day, are outliers adn should not have been counted".[6]

In August 2023, Business Insider referred to Donald Trump as the Spiders Georg of world leaders, as his indictments on 91 felony counts yield the statistic that the mean number of felony charges per U.S. president is two.[7]

How does Tumblr function as a digital community

Week 3 :

In the context of the digital age, Tumblr is gradually developing as a social networking platform serving a large audience. Hence, features like reblog and anonymity encourage interaction, collaboration and facilitate in-depth discussions. Tumblr became a place that nurtured creativity, subculture, and activism, enriching digital culture. However, the reason why Tumblr became a community social networking platform will be analyzed through comparison with another social networking platform, Facebook.

Create and share content

Tumblr is the epitome of the digital canvas for expressing individualism and unique interests, promoting a variety of content including text, images, video, and audio (Tiidenberg & Gomez Cruz, 2015) . Its emphasis on creative self-expression and customization of personal blogs facilitates a rich tapestry of user-generated content, consisten. In contrast, Facebook's architecture is designed to promote sharing and personal connection within existing social networks, prioritizing multimedia content and updates that enhance real-world connections ( Ellison et al., 2007). The platform's infrastructure supports a variety of user interactions, from personal updates to public discourse, distinction between bonding and bridging social capital (Siisiainen, M., 2003) 

Interaction and engagement

Interactivity on Tumblr is characterized by the reblogging feature, which not only amplifies the dissemination of content but also encourages layered conversations through the addition of comments with each repost (Marwick, 2015). This feature strengthens creative culture and reshapes collaborative content, reflecting a networked information economy in which information flows are user-driven . In contrast, Facebook's interaction mechanisms, including likes, comments, and shares, facilitate a different mode of interaction, one that emphasizes existing social relationships and reinforces norms community level (Boyd, D. M., & Ellison, N. B., 2007). Facebook Groups and Events further illustrate how the platform operationalizes social capital to build and mobilize communities (Steinfield et al., 2011).

Privacy and anonymity

Anonymity on Tumblr allows users to explore identities and share content without the constraints of real-world social relationships, promoting a sense of freedom and safety in self-expression (Ogden, J. , 2022). This anonymity can increase participation in niche communities and support cultural and marginalized groups by providing a platform for voices that are often excluded from the discourse system mainstream (Duguay, 2016). In contrast, Facebook's model is based on identifiable participation, with the platform encouraging the use of real names and connections that mirror one's offline social network . This approach, while facilitating accountability, may also limit user behavior and self-expression due to perceived surveillance by known contacts (Marwick & Boyd, 2014).

Week 3 - Tumblr Case Study

So first of all, what does 'digital community' even mean?

A. Ant Ozok and Panayiotis Zaphiris (2009, p. 14) define a digital community as a collection of people who connect with one another and exchange ideas and information primarily via digital platforms and online channels.

From that point, how does Tumblr function as a digital community?

Tumblr serves as a digital community, allowing users to produce and share various material, encourage engagement, and promote privacy and anonymity (Tiidenberg & Gómez Cruz, 2015). Tumblr focuses on creative self-expression, allowing users to share brief messages, GIFs, videos, images, and text to express themselves and connect with others. Using hashtags helps users find similar information, connect with others, and build communities around certain topics of interest (Hillman, Procyk, & Neustaedter 2014). ⁤

Tumblr's unique characteristic is its content flexibility, allowing users to express themselves artistically and personally. Tumblr's reputation for innovation, independence, and sharing varied viewpoints and art stems from its freedom. Tumblr's anonymity allows users to explore their identities and share content without the constraints of real-world social relationships, providing freedom and safety in self-expression (Ogden 2022). However, Tumblr's large user base, including minors, has led to challenges in maintaining control and regulating content. ⁤⁤In the past, the network grappled with the appearance of explicit and sensitive content, prompting the installation of stronger controls. ⁤⁤In response to these concerns, Tumblr prohibited the uploading of sexually explicit content, resulting in the removal of over 100,000 accounts (admin_khuong 2019). ⁤⁤Despite obstacles, Tumblr is a digital community where users share interests, engage in discussions, and enrich digital culture. ⁤

WEEK 3: HOW TUMBLR IS USED BY DISENGAGED AND UNDERPRIVELEGED GROUPS?

Direct comparisons between Tumblr, Reddit, and Instagram may be difficult because each platform has an own user base and set of features. Based on the data at my disposal, Instagram has a greater user base than Tumblr and Reddit. But every platform has a particular function and supports various kinds of interactions and information. Tumblr is renowned for emphasizing creative expression and blogging.

The site is useful for communication study because it provides a large amount of room for users to add textual context to the selfies they submit. Hashtags are widely used to create communities, and shared blogs may be handled collaboratively with others (Renninger, 2015). The visibility of posts within these hashtags is independent of the number of followers, the user’s usual participation within the community, or the number of reactions to the post, thus allowing for a wider range of voices to be heard (Renninger, 2015). Users have the opportunity to like, comment, or reblog content to interact with the post and its creator. These interactions are summarized in a single notes number. Tumblr prevents trolling and bad replies by concealing the more detailed reactions below the summary (Cavalcante, 2018).

Tumblr, which was founded as a hybrid of social networking sites and conventional weblogs, creates the foundation for a vibrant and varied feminist community. Conversely, women who share sexually suggestive photographs on social media sites like Facebook or Instagram typically face backlash and become targets of victimization and "slut-shaming" (Miguel, 2016). Tumblr distinguished itself from these platforms until its policy change in 2018 due to its acceptance of NSFW (Not Safe for Work) content (Renninger, 2015; Tiidenberg & Cruz, 2015). Therefore, in light of earlier studies highlighting the drawbacks and hazards, the general concept of #bodypositive—creating diverse feminist spaces that enable women to discover their own beauty—had a lot of promise on Tumblr until 2018 (Cohen et al., 2019; Maddox, 2019; Sastre, 2014). Furthermore, Tumblr was seen as a platform for "emotional authenticity" and was utilized to create counterpublic spaces for progressive and underprivileged groups (Hart, 2015; Cavalcante, 2018).

Tumblr's role in activism and awareness cannot be overstated. Underprivileged groups leverage the platform to raise awareness about social issues, disseminate information, and mobilize support for various causes. It serves as a powerful tool for grassroots activism, enabling connections among like-minded individuals passionate about creating change. The visual nature of Tumblr makes it an ideal platform for artistic expression. Individuals from disengaged or underprivileged backgrounds can showcase their creative talents, whether through illustrations, photography, or writing. This not only provides an outlet for expression but also offers an opportunity for recognition within the community.

Identity exploration is another vital aspect, with users openly discussing and affirming their identities, including aspects related to gender, sexuality, and race. For marginalized groups, Tumblr becomes a space for self-discovery and acceptance, fostering conversations that may be stigmatized in mainstream society.

Week 3

Regarding the topic of week 3, the content related to public sphere, blogging, and the Tumblr case study will be covered in this post.

As included in the module lecture of week 3, public sphere is “a place where private people come together as a public for the purpose of using reason to further critical knowledge which, in turn, leads to political change…” (Kruse, 2018). In order to be qualified as a ‘public sphere’, the term must satisfy three conditions, which are the provision of “full access to information for everyone and equal participation”, “an environment that is free from institutional influence, coercion, or surveillance. People must feel safe to contribute (politically, economically, or socially)”, and finally, “barriers to participation in digital community could be social media competency, some groups excluded by economics or race, surveillance may also constrain how safe people feel to contribute and algorithms can skew or bias what people get to see.”

The next term included is the concept of blog and blogging. The first blog created was by Justin Hall in 1994, which was referred to as his personal homepage, and later shortened to ‘blog’ by Peter Merholz in 1999.

The case study of Tumblr is briefly mentioned in the module lecture of week 3, and approached more precisely in the week’s essential reading. As provided in the module lecture, Tumblr was established in 2007 and had 3.7 million users in 2023 (Civic and Social Media News). In the specific case study about body positivity, Tumblr was chosen as the focus for various reasons. First was its origin as a mixture between traditional weblogs and social networking sites, which assisted in the setting of the pre-conditions for a diverse and empowering feminist community. Second was its impression of being known as a site of “emotional authenticity” (Hart, 2015, p. 201) used to form counterpublic spaces for marginalized and progressive communities (Cavalcante, 2018; Mccracken, 2017). Until its change in policy in 2018, Tumblr was recognized as standing out from Instagram and Facebook due to its openness toward NSFW content (Renninger, 2015; Tiidenberg & Cruz, 2015), which caused a drop in the usage figures in the younger demographics since the NSFW was no longer accepted.

To sum up, the main points covered in week 3 have been mentioned above.

Tumblr Hashtag #bodypositive

Tumblr was launched in 2007 and the number of active users of Tumblr was always more than Twitter and Snapchat in later 13 years (Tiidenberg et al., 2021). Body image is always a popular and hot topic that people discuss online all over the world. It not only refers to the body’s appearance but also includes the behavior, thoughts, and ideas that belong to the internal part of the body (Reif et al., 2022). As a large number of people use social media, there is verbal abuse of people’s bodies we could often see in the comment, especially the body of women. On the other hand, social media like Tumblr offer a great space for feminists to use the hashtag like “body positive” to connect with different people as a community, so people could accept different beauty of their bodies and be more confident (Reif et al., 2022).

The great thing about Tumblr is that it provides an anonymous and safer way for people to share thoughts and ideas (Keller, 2019). A wider range of feminist politics could see on Tumblr which means more freedom and chances to discuss those topics on Tumblr (Keller, 2019). That is why some young girls would like to post more on Tumblr. Those selfies which contain hashtags like “body positive” will give girls a different feeling that there are many people who have the same kind of body or are even more different. Learning to accept our imperfect and love our bodies is a useful way to talk to ourselves. Selfies are seen as narcissistic behavior that appears in the previous literature while filters and photo editing are also ways for people not to accept themselves (Reif et al., 2022). Actually, selfies are the best way to show ourselves, not for others, just for us. It is important for us to know that no one could define our body except ourselves, and we should be ourselves instead of being influenced by other people. Truly loving and accepting accept ourselves are the better way to gain more happiness and Tumblr could be the platform for people to look for a sense of self-identity.

Hey everyone! My final project for my English class requires me to ~remix~ and ~reformat~ my final paper, and since my final paper was on Tumblr, I’m fuckin’ making it a Tumblr post. You can tell it’s a Tumblr post bc I swore in the introduction. 

So, the gist of my paper was that Tumblr has a comparatively large disabled and chronically ill/chronic pain community, and because of that, it’s changed a lot of the ways people talk about these things both online and off. I used examples like spoonie culture, pain scales, image descriptions and subtitles, and trigger/content warnings. You guys already know all of this, because you’re on Tumblr, so I thought you’d maybe be more interested in something I found while researching FOR the paper. 

Did you know there’s a massive collection of academic papers about Tumblr? It’s called a tumblr book and it came out last year and it’s a massive 400-page collection of academic studies and papers about Tumblr. It’s really the ONLY sort of thing of its type and it’s a game changer IMO. You can read it online for free here.

OnlyFans blurs boundaries as lockdown demand fuels success

Tim Stokely, Founder and Managing Director of OnlyFans, had his sights set on a career as a home inspector before launching what has arguably become the world's most popular social media platform.

"I think it was the growing popularity of girl channels on TV," the 37-year-old said of his decision a decade ago to start working for himself in the modeling world. glamour.

Stokely's first three businesses, born in Essex - adult performance sites GlamGirls and Customs4U, as well as a platform that connects people to merchants - have never grown bigger than OnlyFans, the start -up of five years that took global subscriptions from 20m to 120m during the pandemic.

The platform where sex workers, celebrities and influencers charge fans for photos, videos and personalized content grew its trading volume by 615% to £1.7bn last year, making it one of the fastest growing technology companies in the UK.

OnlyFans is rapidly becoming mainstream in the music and influencer industry, with rappers Cardi B and Bhad Bhabie uploading content and Madonna announcing last month to Instagram followers that she was considering streaming a concert on the platform. But critics say the site is getting more people to consider sex work.

Katrin Tiidenberg, a sociologist at the University of Tallinn who studies online sexual culture, said the idea of ​​sexy self-expression on the web has always led to "this kind of pearly 'think about children' worry. She argued that people were posting and sending nude photos long before OnlyFans, which she said made it easier to monetize content.

"All we're talking about is the changing labor market, the future of work, and creative work," Tiidenberg said. "Why isn't that part of the conversation when it clearly is?" »

À la une : Résonance : une sociologie de la relation au monde / Hartmut Rosa

Cote de rangement : HM 590 R 256169 / Domaine : Sociologie

« Si l’accélération constitue le problème central de notre temps, la résonance peut être la solution. Telle est la thèse du présent ouvrage, lequel assoit les bases d’une sociologie de la « vie bonne » – en rompant avec l’idée que seules les ressources matérielles, symboliques ou psychiques suffisent à accéder au bonheur.

La qualité d’une vie humaine dépend du rapport au monde, pour peu qu’il permette une résonance. Celle-ci accroît notre puissance d’agir et, en retour, notre aptitude à nous laisser « prendre », toucher et transformer par le monde. Soit l’exact inverse d’une relation instrumentale, réifiante et « muette », à quoi nous soumet la société moderne. Car si nous les recherchons, nous éprouvons de plus en plus rarement des relations de résonance, en raison de la logique de croissance et d’accélération de la modernité, qui bouleverse en profondeur notre rapport au monde sur le plan individuel et collectif.

De l’expérience corporelle la plus basique (respiration, alimentation, sensations…) aux rapports affectifs et aux conceptions cognitives les plus élaborées, la relation au monde prend des formes très diverses : la relation avec autrui dans les sphères de l’amitié, de l’amour ou de la politique ; la relation avec une idée ou un absolu dans les sphères de la nature, de la religion, de l’art et de l’histoire ; la relation avec la matière, les artefacts, dans les sphères du travail, de l’éducation ou du sport.

Tout en analysant les tendances à la crise – écologique, démocratique, psychologique – des sociétés contemporaines, cette théorie de la résonance renouvelle de manière magistrale le cadre d’une théorie critique de la société.

Né en 1965, Hartmut Rosa, sociologue et philosophe, est professeur à l’université Friedrich Schiller de Iéna et directeur du Max-Weber-Kolleg à Erfurt,en Allemagne. Il est notamment l'auteur de Accélération. Une critique sociale du temps (2010, 2013) et d'Aliénation et accélération. Vers une théorie critique de la modernité tardive (2012 et 2014), à La Découverte. » - Quatrième de couverture

Critical Perspectives on New Media Habits

Katrin Tiidenberg’s blog is about cultural data/datafication of culture. The blog talks about how culture is not something that is readily available. Tiidenberg also talks about how datafication can alter culture. Culture is something that is constructed and then made sense of. How we define culture depends on if we use existing data or create new data. Then we come to cultural data in which sorting people, places, and ideas alters culture. So, are there other ways to datafy culture? Maybe we do need to produce alternative ways to understand culture. But it seems like a very daunting and overwhelming task when you think of the sheer amount of data that has already been collected about culture. Where would a person even start? And how would we come to a consensus on what gets to be datafied as culture? Our author believes this is something that can be created but it is a difficult concept, for me at least, to wrap my head around.  

Andre Brock focuses on the features of CMTs. Through research on Black Twitter, Brock concludes that ideologies are written into technology for legibility by users. This kind of makes sense as someone who frequently interacts with Black Twitter. This was strange to read because it is so ingrained in us that research should be replicable but this one explicitly says replicability is a false construct. So how are we supposed to have things like intercoder reliability or replication to show accuracy or validity?  

Rieger and Klimmt discuss eudaimonic memes. The most interesting part was that inspirational memes on Tumblr are a big part of eudaimonic experience and that eudaimonic messages are prevalent in social media. I was a huge fan of Tumblr for years and I rarely saw inspiration on there and I do not really see it on other social sites either which I guess is just a testament to the kind of person I am. It is even weirder that this was published in 2019 and I am almost positive Tumblr started to lose its popularity way before that. I do not think I have ever actually heard about connecting social media to people’s feelings of well-being. I have only heard the opposite, but I would really like to see how it does affect someone’s feelings of well-being. But memes bringing some of the same feelings as movies or videos is surprising. Also “digital inspiration” kind of sounds like the kinds of stuff that wine moms post on Facebook.  

Costa talks about social media in Turkey. These people keeping up 10+ Facebook accounts seems that it is something extreme that people go through to make sure that everyone in their lives is kept in the bubbles they are meant to be in. Context collapse is not even a thing here because of the extreme lengths to keep each part of life separate. It completely makes sense that it does not happen in other places but happens here. On top of the fact that we have a hugely different culture, posting on social media will not necessarily disgrace our families. It might but it is still different from the way it is talked about in Turkey. I also think we are just much lazier, less caring people than the people in Turkey so naturally context collapse will happen here. Would you go through the trouble of keeping up TWELVE Facebook accounts?

Jackson et al (2018), talk about #girlslikeus. While I see Twitter as a loud minority, it is great at building communities. Hashtags work better for Twitter than any other social platform. Much like the Black Lives Matter movement, the trans community was able to start their own discourse where people could use that hashtag to talk about anything that was related to trans women, particularly trans women of color. If I remember correctly, Twitter played a part in helping Chelsea Manning while she was in prison. The trans community was able to build and network and raise one another up and bring attention to lesser-known issues in the community that so often got swept under the rug like the violence committed against Cece McDonald. It also helps when celebrities like Laverne Cox are also in the mix.
