#twitter migration

I was thinking about how tumblr keeps on being compared to a cockroach, surviving the fall of many social media platforms

And then I remembered this absolute BANGER of a show, Romantic Killer

So congrats to the cockroach for surviving this many years, and *extreme eye contact* prost to it surviving many more!

(Roaches are unseemly, so instead, cake)

Every single day I wish Mastodon would’ve won the Twitter Migration over Bluesky.

I love how tumblr users just... openly offer a manual on how the website works.

Not the actual mechanics, lord knows what they are. But like I joined around the beginning of the Twitter migration (not from twitter but regardless) and people were just posting tips on how to use asks and how tags work on here. It made it so much less scary because the way social interactions are expected to carried out wasn't hidden under wraps for me to stumble around and panic over finding them. I got to make actual connections meet some of my favourite people ever on here!!!

I just... the majority of tumblr users are just really nice and I'm really happy to be here

Ok, wait, please, someone correct me if I'm getting this wrong but:

The Reddit Migration happened because reddit price gouged the third party apps out of existence, rendering their platform incredibly hard to use?

And now, Musk wants to paywall Tweetdeck, which served approximately the same function for Twitter?

Am I wildly missing something or did Musk look and Reddit and think "I wanna get on THAT sinking ship!"

At this rate, I guess carbon fiber submersibles will be his next gambit?

Edit: a previous version of this destiel news image wrongly said Gackt was in X Japan, Gackt was merely in S.K.I.N. with Yoshiki and they know each other very well. This has since been corrected. o( _ _ )o

Me: Since I come here fleeing other social media, let's turn over a new social media leaf. I want to use Tumblr for thoughtful, effortful blog posts!

My brain: post cat pics

HEY soo.... I'm kinda peeved at Tumblr at the moment... Follow me on Bluesky, my loves! (but only if you're over 18!) https://bsky.app/profile/chordsy.bsky.social

With Elon changing Twitter’s name to be just the letter X overnight, it becomes much clearer that he just has a weird thing for the letter. He attempted to name Paypal ‘Paypal X’, named his other company Spacex, and even attempted to name his own fucking kid X. 

I vote that since he has such a hard on for the letter X that we start calling him X-Boy or something. Worlds shittiest super villain

Chapter 5. Hunting Season

A beginner’s guide to the bot infestation

So you may or may not have noticed but tumblr has a bot problem.

These bots follow accounts and like posts but aren’t run by real people. How can you spot a bot? Here are the things you need to look at:

the profile picture

Bots are obviously not accounts run by people so they usually don’t have a profile picture or have a profile picture of a random woman.

the title

Most bots will have untitled blogs and a default header image. If they aren’t untitled then they have a typical feminine name for the title..

The posts

Bots also for the most part don’t have posts on their blogs. If they do then the posts are mostly porn with phishing links underneath.

I know this goes without saying but DO NOT CLICK THESE LINKS!

Here is a usual bot’s blog:

without posts:

So what should you do about these bot followers? Report and block them! This is how:

After that the staff should be on it eventually (they don’t have very impressive response time) but still, it will be down eventually.

I know you might be tempted to report them several times to get them taken down faster but don’t! It will clog up their system, so just wait until they take it down.

More advice here!

step 1: go to your app/play store, turn off tumblr auto-update

step 2: delete tumblr

step 3: google 'tumblr old versions' and find the either ios, android, or whatever other system you have

step 4: scroll back a couple versions and click install on one you want

step 4.5: you may need to give your browser permission to install apps

step 5: click on the download, bam now u have old tumblr

step 6 ig?: swipe down on the blue banner in app telling you to update

What the fuck is Elon doing???

So, i'm a Twitter refugee, and i'm here to give a status report. Just like his wife, Elon is rebranding Twitter to "X". Just, why? What the fuck is his purpose? The fuck is he even doing? Is he reverting back to his edgelord phase where the letter "X" sounded cool even though it absolutely didnt and was cringe as fuck? I'm glad i'm on Tumblr because I can say "Fuck you, Elon, I hope your entire family abandons you and your companies blow up and your shitty emerald mine closes down" without any consequences.

Welp.

Since Saturday, Brazil banned Twitter, throwing me out on a total of 850+ followers. i have nowhere to go other than being more frequent here.

I know for a fact that most Brazillians have gone to Bluesky or Threads and my mutuals from other countries will still be there, but if anything, remember that i am here.
