Bye, I guess
Hi folks: I’ve enjoyed my time on tumblr while it lasted. Unfortunately, the new dashboard makes the site so unpleasant to use that I’m afraid that enjoyment (and thus my use of the site) has come to an end. I still have some reblogs queued up, and I may pop in now and then, but don’t expect me to be around much anymore.
For the record, here is the support request I put in yesterday:
Why is my dashboard now twitter. This format sucks. It's always sucked. It feels absolutely horrible to use on desktop (which I do exclusively and that will not change). This horrible ui is a big part of why didn't really use twitter (it sucked then to).
Here is tumblr’s answer:
Hello,  Thanks for reaching out to Tumblr Community Support and sharing your thoughts on the new dashboard layout. We often test new ways to make Tumblr better. It sounds like your account may have been selected to experience a test of one of these improvements. Thanks for your patience while we work on this! You may see your Tumblr experience return to normal as we continue testing.  Kind regards,  Chris
(Please note, this appears to be a copy-paste form response. You can see another example of it here.)
Here was my response:
Hi Chris! I "may" not see my Tumblr user return to normal, because I'm not returning to Tumblr until it is reasonably usable again for me. This "experiment" is effectively an update that has made the site so unpleasant for me to use that I will not be doing so. What will tumblr being doing to allow me to use the site? I do not appreciate being told that my support ticket is "sharing [my] thoughts on the new dashboard layout." I neither asked or appreciate being selected taking part, without my knowledge or consent, in an experiment to allow a company to do product development. My ticket is not my "thoughts on the new dashboard layout." It is my report that the site is effectively not usuable. Furthermore, while not illegal, human experimentation is generally considered unethical without proper consent and review process. If my dash returns to a status that I can use: 1) What guarantees do I have that tumblr will not experiment on me again?  2) What other experiments does tumblr think it is ethical to do on me without proper consent? Kind regards to Chris, and explicitly not to your employer.
24 hours later, I have not received a follow up response.
I was originally going to write a lot more about why I think this is such an atrocious set of moves and responses by tumblr, but I realized that being on the site long enough to format and post it (I’m doing this writing on my desktop) would be too unpleasant to make it worthwhile.
Instead, I want to make two quick notes about traps I see people falling in to:
1) Tumblr is not your friend. It is a company that wants to use you to extrude profit. This hold true regardless of whether it is shaped like a shareholder’s report, a formal staff post, or a blog that looks just like a user like you. Regardless of its form, it is no more your friend than the “intern” who runs a corporate brand account.
2) It is fine to pay money for a product you enjoy. This product might be a digital sticker or a minigame on a website, or some form of subscription to the site itself. However, if you are not enjoying a product, or if you feel that the product is bad or exploitative, you have no obligation to invest in it. And you should be particularly wary when a for-profit business is attempting to make you, as a customer, feel emotionally and personally invested in supporting that business (whether that be in terms of time, energy, or money).
Anyway, I’m still hoping that I will be able to unpin this post at some point, but for the foreseeable future: bye!

Hey bimbos
After a long 10-11 months of being online and running own streamy, spicy NSFW taboo account I've finally made the decision to "retire".
It has been fun being taboo and gross and I really do appreciate everyone that has followed me, but after 10-11 months of this I feel that it's run it's course and it's definitely time for a change.
I do still enjoy the bimbo movement and lifestyle of course, I'm just working on pursuing a career now.
Tumblr media
Thank you all so much for the follows and support! Bye bye Tumblr!

I have moved to Neocities, you can find me there.
At the moment, it is empty but eventually I'll fill it with my artwork. I need to sit down with a good friend and get a grasp of HTML.

Ghosting Tumblr
It's been really hard to reach anyone in Tumblr ever since I came back and started posting here as an artist. For some reason, even if I was doing fandom content/fanart, my posts don't seem to reach anyone, and I don't even get any likes in my post anymore. The algorithm/changes in Tumblr have been pretty discouraging, in my opinion. Along with the rumors that Tumblr is collborating with Midjourney, it was a good reminder for me to finally pull the plug on this site. I won't be deleting my account since I want to keep my 'brand name' so to speak, but i'll be sharing my art on other platforms that deserve more love. I recommend Pillowfort to anyone. I'll also be posting content on Youtube and Artfol.

Guys.
Guys. It's happening. Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna log off Tumblr and (if everything goes according to plan) not use it until 24th of May.
I'm doing it because I need to study for my graduation exams that are quickly getting closer. And I know I'm addicted to this hellsite, so I need to cut it out of my life or I won't pass the exams.
It's kind of a blessing that the new era of QSMP starts today, because that way I can know that the previous era came to an end and I don't need to be attached to the egg children anymore. I wonder how I'm gonna cope with the huge amount of things that'll surely happen during the time I'm away from the internet XD. But that's a problem for the future Freddie... ;-) Right now I wanna say: "Goodbye, my beloved egg children, I loved all of you."
And to everyone who follows me and interacts with me on some level: "I'll be right back guys, enjoy the 3-4 weeks without me. ;-)"
And remember:
Realityisanillusionuniverseisahologrambuygold-
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Tumblr media
TL;DR I'm logging off Tumblr until 24th of May to study for my graduation exams.

Última publicación
(Algo de Texto)
Bueno, primero que todo muchas gracias a los que me siguieron, compartieron y dieron ♥️ a mi contenido.
Quizás vuelva en un GRAAN futuro
O tal vez me vean en un canal de Twitter creando contenido propio, de fnaf o alguna que otra cosa ahah
O quizá realizando mi sueño
Tenía muchas cosas que publicar aquí... Pero creo que no estoy lista para más jdjd
Es muy normal de mí empezar un canal y no continuarlo por mucho tiempo (pensé que ésta sería la definitiva)
Aún más si dibujo por teléfono, puede ser complicado. Mis dibujos no son de mucho lucro si dibujo con mi dedo comparado de una tableta gráfica
Dejo un extra así no queda tan vacío
Chau y muchas gracias 😫

(Empieza un: Canal olvidado...)

goodbye
well bye tumblr. maybe I will come back here, but I don't know when it will happen. in my case, this network does not bring me enough emotions that even twitter and reddit can bring. I thank my friend monachopsiskid for introducing me to this app, it really has its own atmosphere. but besides, I don't post much… I'm lazy :) I hope everyone here will be fine, and Tumblr will remain the same quiet and cozy place (unlike Twitter) that it should be
