I genuinely think @staff should give us an official Bot Kill Count where it ticks up every time a bot you reported is officially taken off by the tumblr team and when you hit a certain number you get gruesome little trophies. Gamification can be of the devil but in this particular case I need a little treat for doing my daily chore of taking out the trash

I'm pretty sure this is the only site I've ever been on that gave me the reward for watching the ad even if it fumbled serving the ad. Definitely increase my trust and willingness to click again!

I know they said in their post that if you have the "discourage external search" setting enabled then by default they've opted you out of third-party sharing but for what it's worth, when I signed up in 2011 I enabled external search on my blog because I wanted to be able to use Google to find things, since Tumblr search has never worked. All my sideblogs since then, I've had the "discourage external search" setting enabled. But just now when I went to opt my main blog out of third-party sharing, for all the good that would do (I am one thousand percent sure that cat is long out of the bag), all of the sideblogs who were excluded from search engines were still opted-in to third-party sharing, and I had to manually opt all those out.
Presumably if your main blog had search disabled you'd be opted-out by default like they say, but just figured it was worth saying, this is absolutely not the case for sideblogs you didn't want crawled.

Sometimes Tumblr just puts two things next to each other and you KNOW it's automated and can't have been deliberate, but you really have to stop and wonder for a second if someone engineered it...

What the hell, @staff, I do not want this automatic 90s Windows skin on my Tumblr. I did not click that weird 1999 button, I do not want this. I LIVED THROUGH THAT ERA OF COMPUTING, I DON'T WISH TO REVISIT IT. If anyone knows how to revert my Tumblr home back to its usual state, please tell me.

this part seemed relevant to this blue hellsite ⤵️
It's safe to say that a bunch of people bonding over 100-year-old recipes is not what typically comes to mind when you imagine TikTok food content. But, also, Hollis's current online popularity isn't solely thanks to TikTok. He's also attracted a sizable fandom on the sometimes forgotten, but immensely powerful corner of the internet known as Tumblr. In fact, he's so popular that, in April, he entered into the site's top-20 list of web celebrities, according to Cates Holderness, head of editorial at Tumblr. Holderness told Eater the spike was likely because Hollis did a live video where he finally acknowledged his growing fandom on Tumblr.
"It was really funny to see people freaking out in an excited way, like, 'Oh my gosh, this guy that we love has acknowledged us and thanked us in this really sweet and sincere way'," she said. "He's aware that the Tumblr audience is there, but he's very nervous to interact with it."
Hollis's videos are regularly downloaded from TikTok and re-uploaded on Tumblr, where they have long, very viral second lives, which is actually common for popular TikTok, in general. But, according to Holderness, the thing that really ignited Hollis's fandom on the platform was a text post from 2021 written by a user named @thestuffedalligator. It was shared 25,000 times and reads:
The main thing I get from Dylan Hollis cooking old recipes is this:
Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are great, and I suspect it's because they were made by someone with limited resources. But they found a way to make something good, maybe even something fantastic with those limited resources, and they wanted to write it down and share with their friends so that they could also make something out of saltines and potatoes. Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are written down and shared in love.
The recipes you should fear come from the 1950s and 1960s, which I'm pretty sure are written down and shared as a form of McCarthyism.
"The history side of Tumblr is a very large community," Holderness said. "So it's kind of not surprising that a lot of the recipes that he makes, the older recipes, from the '20s, from the Great Depression, tend to be very popular. The recipes that are either extremely good or extremely terrible, in general, get the most traction."
For what it's worth, Hollis agreed with @thestuffedalligator's post, saying the Great Depression recipes are his favorite and the ones from the '60s are his least favorite; though he doesn't think that McCarthyism is to blame for why recipes from that era are so inedible. Instead, he thinks it was because bringing Jell-O to a potluck was a way to signify that you had enough money to own a refrigerator, and gelatin was marketed to women as a way to stay slim.

occasionally it strikes me as somewhat unfortunate that "the last people online who can write" and "tgirl funhouse mirror world" are the same website

Hello! We haven't talked much directly, but I suppose we've booped each other from afar now.
Seems like a fun way to make new friends!

The reactions on this hellsite to tumblr polls has been wild. I have seen 3 main uses of it so far and it that doesnt sum up the general vibe of this website I don't know what does.
1. BUG RACE
2. Lets rank these characters levels of hotness in different scenes (fierce debate begins in tags)
3. LETS DRAW A PENIS
and to top it all off most of us discovered tumblr polls via the classic tumblr news source: Destiel meme.
I love it here.
