"The underlying problem is that Tumblr is not easy to use"
Bitch, Tumblr is INSANELY easy to use as far as I've seen! You search things you're interested in and/or follow the tags, you follow the accounts that post stuff you like, and then you view your feed in reverse chronological order. It's super easy to write a post and add tags, and unlike other social media sites, you can actually integrate attachments into the body of the text rather than them just fitting into the assigned attachment box. You can view replies, reblogs, and likes at a glance in three separate but easily viewable submenus. And you can do all of this fairly simply whether you're on the mobile app or the desktop site!
The only way you could think that Tumblr isn't easy to use is if you think "easy to use" means "no interaction necessary, we will feed you the content slop we believe you desire". Aka, the thing everyone hates about every other social media platform!

I didn't know predstrogen or her blog but that doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you. if they came for her they will come for you. if you're not trans they will come for you when they're done with them.
hate doesn't start and end with one target, it morphs and amalgamates until no one is safe, and it lashes out a lot.

@staff @support @engineering @music @books
Have you ever considered this is a really stupid layout to have when there’s no way to easily get your account back if you accidentally hit the wrong button???

I think Staff is forgetting that Tumblr wasn’t “difficult to use” and it wasn’t struggling with “bringing in new users” a few years ago when it was in the top ten visited sites, globally.
Now, if only anyone could remember what we were doing differently back then, that we’re not doing right now… hmm…

Increasingly annoyed at the Fox News level of misinformation about what the staff post said. Like a third of the bullets are features that long-time users have been requesting for years. Heavily implies they're investing in active moderation to reduce spam bots/hate speech, which will also mean some tighter restrictions. There is much positive with the negative. Calm the fuck down.

With the staffs new blog post, I don't hate it unless they stop giving us the option to opt out. New users do find it confusing to do things the old (and better way) so it would make it better for newer blogs. It does take a minute to find the people you want to follow so this could make it easier. Most other sites upon getting a new influx of users don't need to write to do lists about site culture. I don't like the content creator stuff but helping with notifications upon going viral is an objectively good thing, as is making it easier to understand conversations between rebloged and replies. Reading replies is messy as hell here so that is a good thing to target. Basically I'm fine with doing stuff to help new users as long as we get the choice to turn that shit off and have it how we like. And not in the stupid Tumblr live snooze way either
