I haven’t been here long. What irritating changes have been made?

Credit where it's due, some changes have been good, like polls and stuff! But the big recent changes thus far that I would classify as irritating are:

- The UI change. This one may be less irritating for newcomers because it's basically the same layout as twitter and instagram, but for a lot of folks who've been here a long time, it feels cramped and like a loss of identity for the site. For many, the appeal of tumblr is that it ISN'T an algorithm hell like twitter or insta. Also, there's the annoyance of having to relearn where everything is, because it all got moved around.

- The users being lab rats for various tests the devs wanna pull out of nowhere without consenting to beta testing new site features- like the one that took away user icons on the dash for like half the site. They finally put them back after getting enough feedback that said NO, but users were so used to their feedback being disregarded that they were half expecting the change to be pushed through anyway.

- The Netflix tie-in advertising being pushed even to people who had PAID tumblr for a no-ads experience. Complete with them somehow thinking it would be a good idea to put an unescapable-by-scrolling spooky clown on peoples' dashboards that u had to use ublock to get rid of. While I'm not scared of clowns and often find them quite charming, it sucks that staff didn't take coulrophobia being a common fear into account.

- A wave of fully sfw trans posts being wrongfully marked Mature and staff doing little to nothing about it. Not sure if this is still ongoing, but it destroyed a lot of trust and good will. (LGBT+ users have been having to fight a constant war against censorship ever since the adult content ban on tumblr, so yeah... Nevar 4get the list of banned search words that would bring back no results, like 'girl')

- The site gradually moving away from customization. Tumblr is a BLOGGING site. But it seems to have lost sight of that fact, because most new users don't even know you can fully customize your blogs with css and stuff (an option that is now off by default for new accounts!), because of the in-dash viewer giving you only how blogs look on mobile, which is a lot more uniform. There, it's more like every other site- you get a banner and icon. Oh, but you can change colors and fonts from a drop-down list too, that's cool I guess. Though they recently took away custom color schemes on Message windows, just another little bit of personalization taken away.

- TUMBLR. LIVE. Basically tumblr teamed up with a skeevy dating app partner to allow for livestreams- but not the cool kinda livestreams like on twitch where you can draw or play games, no- to a site full of people who value anonymity, they decided to push phone cam only livestreams. Not only that but by agreeing to the terms, you're giving out tons of personal data including your location to said skeevy dating app partner and all of THEIR third-party ad partners. Needless to say, most people didn't wanna use it, so instead of users it's flooded by p*rn bots (which is ANOTHER issue we've been dealing with for a long time and have been getting an even bigger influx of FROM tumblr live) and scammers. And thus, since tumblr likes to put a carousel of current streams on people's dashes, you often get softcore p*rn thumbnails from the bot streams with no way to avoid it except for toggling off tumblr live entirely.

- Oh wait. That's right. You CAN'T toggle it off. Because you can only snooze it for a while until BAM, you're jumpscared by a carousel of ladies licking your screen again! But hey, at least they made the snooze 30 days instead of the 7 it used to be, right? Yeah, except for the fact that you can't get rid of the tumblr live button itself on the app anymore, and now it's front and center with a NEW notification tag on it, overlapping your dash and cramming useful stuff like the search button out of the way.

NOW- A lot of this stuff CAN be at least mostly fixed on desktop by installing ublock and xkit and tampermonkey + dashboard unfucker... But that's a lot of stuff just to make the site usable, you know?

#this isn't even a comprehensive list but hopefully that covers all the big ones #anyway i get tumblr has to make money and it's currently not doing that #but burning through the remaining good will of the people who stuck around through earlier bs doesn't seem like a great idea either #ah well... i'm still here regardless #i've already had to leave deviantart behind because it became an ai cesspit... and it sucked. I had a lot of good memories there. #it sucks to uproot everything and move. so unless something equally bad happens here i'll probs be going down with the ship lol #also there's like nowhere else to go right now which is a huge problem; #i've been trying to look for other places to post too but none really have the same laid-back feeling tumblr does. #also i love the asks system too much. more sites need that honestly #anyway i rambled enough hope this helps u get an idea of why people are angy #asks

[familiarache]

#out. #also i feel like this is a uhhh hilarious thing to state but #when i first started writing on tumblr in 2011 #my very first rp blog ever. was in a b/leach rpg #and it was r/yuken #so my uhhh thing for tall douchey guys w glasses and also white haired bitches has uhhh never left #neither did my thing for gingers tbh #started w his dad and now im here lmao #what tf was i even in 2011 i think i was like.... fifteen or some shit #iiiiiiiiii cant do math lol #bibis knew me tho #on og site we shall not name anymore #not on tumbs #i think the second b/leach char i wrote the longest for was actually l/oly #bc none of the rpgs i joined EVER had u/ryu free but he was all i rly wanted and i didnt join the indie scene rly until after i mostly #stopped writing manga stuff for the most part #i had a bl/each oc tho that shall remain not mentioned bc teen me was absolutely the worst but like #idk i might remake her at some point #and just be less absolutely a fucking menace bs teenager abt it lMAO anyways--

[discoidal]

resisting the urge to yell at people on tumblr like shhhh its ok zoe none of this matters you're fine you're fine shhhh

#posting detached irony abt an administration u profess to not have an opinion on due to lack of knowledge.. arent u ashamed even a lil bit. #did that not hurt to post. people got hurt people are disappearing and dying.. what if i blew up all of us on tumblr #god whatever shshhhhhhh none of this matters no one on tumblr matters shhh

[hopefulnightlady]

just saw someone hate on my boy atreus and the way i had to hold back. i must be the bigger person

#god of war #atreus #if anyone wants the name/post just dm me im NOT big enough a person to not give others a chance :) #can people even dm random mfs on tumblr? #just. comment if thats not an option #can u tell i dont know what i am doing yet #ive been on this hellsit 2456432 years but im so antisocial i get like. none of its actual things

[cartoonrival]

actually i lied popular ships i dont like are anything with amy especially surgamy sorry ..... its because im an aroace amy truther and i think its sus when ships with zero canon support are somehow extremely popular. not to be like “this fandom is obsessed with shipping” cause i think ppl like that are lowkey annoying but like come on. you can just not ship them with anyone . and i dont think surge would have a crush on amy i htink shed think amys kind of a stick in the mud and find her psychoanalysis really infuriating because surge has problems she doesnt like people pointing out

#txt157 #i know theres like 2 panels where amy looks at blaze lovingly etc i dont care . isnt for me sorry. #also ik the character ages have been #officially kiboshed so it matters less now but i did think it was weird that people against the s0namy age gap would turn around and ship #her with blaze #AGAIN IT REALLY DOESNT MATTER ITS SO INCONSEQUENTIAL IM NOT SAYING IF U SHIP AMY N BLAZE UR A BAD OERSON #like i dont care. just an observation. #sth #i dont like s0namy either but thats kind of a given. and its not really even that popular on tumblr #NONE OF THIS IS INTENDED TO COME OFF AS REAL HATE I GEN DONT CARE IM JUST BLUNT

[screamingay]

sometimes i see a post abt some very specific queer discourse on [tumblr].com and tell my girlfriend about it and we discuss it for like 30 minutes until we eventually realize it's truly a nothing issue and go back to video games or sucking cock or whatever. today it was "we should stop saying that hrt is masculinizing/feminizing"

#just like everything else there is a lot of nuance and you'll never win arguing against that point because of all the little exceptions and #special cases and outliers. but it still makes u think about how we think of gender and how removed it often gets from lived reality #in which masculinity and femininity are huge factors in how most people in daily life perceive u #and even in our own communities it is important to know what those traits and labels mean to us #if only to know how to subvert them #none of this makes sense and makes me more guilty than i already am of the very thing i criticize: getting mad about tumblr posts and making #new posts in response to them therefore creating more and more insular discourse #but i guess i just like to try to put things into words because it's fun and i want to hear what my own circle thinks of them

BBC Sherlock

oh anon I am so sorry to disappoint: I have unfortunately seen this show

HOWEVER. I haven’t seen season 4. Or the — was there a special? idk. idc.

So Sherlock’s plane does a u-turn with cartoon skid affects and lands back on the tarmac - since he’s been called to deal with moriarty stuff again or something??? And he and John have a very awkward oh hey haha funny seeing you again wow it’s been so long yeah like 2 minutes. Let’s Forget That Weirdly Emotional Goodbye. There is now a baby and Mary is now….. gone? So now john’s a single dad but not really because Sherlock is becoming dad number 2 which is very inconvenient when you want to avoid feelings and have a mad genius wanting to be the joker to your Batman. Well, well, well, look who it is— John’s stuck in a well. But it’s ok because Sherlock used his mind palace to include the well and construct a mind ladder to retrieve him, and Moriarty is now either dead or locked away and John and Sherlock can go back to bantering over crime scenes while raising the baby together but they don’t kiss. Or something.

#I watched 3 seasons #was like ‘huh nice’ #and then checked out AKSJWKSJ #I was late to the party so I think 2 seasons were already out by the time I began watching it #idk I don’t really remember #I wasn’t in the fandom even tho I was close with someone who was #I just remember going on tumblr one day having not thought about this show in forever #and then seeing BABY #and Mary was like … in none of the gif sets #and I just kept seeing gifsets of the baby #and only the baby #and I was like yes cute baby …. where did it come from #anyway #hope this amused u anon!!! ty for the ask <333 #ren replies #ask game

Am I actually a mediocre artist or am I just getting in my own head because practically nothing I make can get over 50 notes without it being 12 reblogs and 108 likes

#i got that glitch this morning where the tumblr app told my i had 62 new notes #when actually it was 9 :))) #so that was a fun kick in the teeth #like god bro not even s/ubscorp can get half u cunts to press the fucking reblog button???? unbelievable #my post #idk i feel like nothing i do matters lately #i’m just wasting my life #can’t even engage with mk much anymore since all the new shit upsets me #i’m stuck making my own stuff to fuel my special interest while simultaneously thinking none of it’s good enough… #vent

my friends i usually don't make post like this because I choose peace usually n I don't like to indirect ppl but like. I guess i've reblogged a total of 3 old posts in recent times from aj*x gud days and I only went to check on one of those acc out of curiosity and I saw them posting about finding this amusing/weird. as in "what's up with the nostalgia from fans of these players, it's been years, u weren't even watching aj*x" (i guess this was about the ziy-ech ona-na post from yesterday lol) and on one side it was funny bc i watched *counting* 5+ years worth of eredivisi-e I should get a medal for that alone. My usb drive full of old memories I occasionally go through to feel happy. u want to know something about aja*x those days I have everything at ur disposal. 16 april 2019 in ams, I was there. I mean just to say we can't really assume what people liked or didn't like before just to shame strangers having fun u know

#i mean I don't want a prize even if I wasn't there I still don't think it's nice yaknow #I even had a tumblr blog to read I just wasn't into using it then bc I had a ig page then. sweet soul was I. I despise ig now #also I know this is depressing and none of u care about it #but like 2019 my mama passed away in january. it was the most horrible year of my life. and the previous year hadn't been great either. #I have been follow hakim/aj/ax since 2015 but football that year especially was my escape. #my brother brought us to ams in april to visit family and brought me to the stadium and brought me tickets for ucl #cause like I was completely out of it. Let's say I guess i was heavily depressed and I should have been to therapy honestly. #I don't remember ANYTHING about my life back then I only found escapism in that club and morocco and hakim and nous that year #so I mean u don't know whats up with ppl let's not shame people having fun on the internet. idk it made me feel bad gkfjdh #tw mental health #tw death #tw parental loss

[kickassfu]

becoming a trad christian because of tumblr or twitter the least traditional thing i can think of, aren’t you embarrassed?
