#these new Tumblr features...

[fungi-maestro]

#seal.txt #tumblr live #im hoping they fix the mobile image and video viewers next. especially the video viewer it is like. borderline unusable #obviously i have other suggestions unrelated to design or features but that is the one related to this news. #good riddance! how long has it been part of the app now? it feels like an eternity

Now THESE are the types of changes I like to see around here.

#update #tumblr update #new feature #activity #bot #spam bot #bots #spam bots #following #following you

#polls #tumblr #new features #i wish i were dead

[plaguedocboi]

If tumblr starts pushing algorithm-based “content” instead of just showing the damn blogs we follow we need to move to MySpace or something

#this was entirely predictable but deeply upsetting nonetheless #staff we don’t want New Features To Be Just Like Twitter #tumblr is not confusing or harder to use #it’s just DIFFERENT. THATS WHY WE’RE HERE

Happy lunar new year! 🐉

Couldn't make it home this year but i'm still determined to have a good time :')

(no reposts; reblogs appreciated)

#my art #artists on tumblr #original art #art #lunar new year #lny #chinese new year #year of the dragon #illustration #omg guys first original piece in like 2 years #i'm healed from AP art burnout it's a lunar new year miracle #AND I FINISHED IT ON TIME (rare occurence) #shotgunned this painting in a day so it's messy but i'm trying to focus less on making everything perfect #i'm still learning procreate and i just discovered the bloom feature if you can't tell from all the glowy stuff lol #also just realized this lowkey looks like i'm setting the wall on fire but i swear that's not the intention!! #i'm a law abiding citizen no arson here

#tumblr updates #changes #polls #new features #tumblr features #tumblr update #poll #i dont even think it looks BAD persay but i do miss the colors #and i cant find like. a 'keep blog colors option'. #i would like a keep colors option! #but i think its good to let ppl use the standard colors for accessubility reasons

[darkwood-sleddog]

once again i am asking tumblr to hold public polls for users to vote on potential changes. imagine if you were the 'respect our users opinion website'. like that could be us but apparently not.

#not dogs #tumblr #not all change is bad but i think the new desktop changes are actually terrible? #i want less clutter not more #staff SAYS they want to give us options #okay so develop some options and have us vote for them before release #as an actual real life election official i want this #bc i think most physical changes to websites are entirely useless and redundant #also why would you copy a social media site that is FAILING #@staff you made polls. please fucking use them #and release the results publicaly i swear to fuck #like if you want users to spend money on this website you kinda need to uh. listen to them? #i also think TELLING people they are testing a new feature that may or may not be permanent would be good #so that people don't come in to change they think is potentially permanent #not that i think the desktop stuff isn't going to be #tumblr has shown time and time again that they value only new users coming in from twitter

And then they started a book club.

#I understand that most of their interaction comes from the app. I get that their new features will be app-driven #that said. i hate the idea of tumblr being a site where it’s normal to show your face #one of the biggest draws of tumblr is that it’s totally anonymous and this? is a significant counter incentive to maintaining that culture #of anonymity #tumblr live #tunglr

[warden-melli]

I think artists should reblog/repost their older art. You put the work in, why not coast on that for a while? If Todd Howard can get away with rereleasing Skyrim for the umpteenth time then you can reblog your older art

#Melli speaks #I actually think is a tumblr feature that’s really good for artists #on other platforms a post usually only has a short window of interaction before it’s gone #but on tumblr art can be recirculated. all it takes is one rando with a new blorbo tag raiding to bring a post back #not pokemon

PvP BLAZE IS (supposedly) live 04/20/2023

I think this is a really cool update, but an important thing to note is that:

* * * * LETTING OTHERS BLAZE YOUR POSTS WILL BE ON BY DEFAULT * * * *

It's a per-blog setting, so you can turn it off for your main and on for your sideblog(s) or v/v.

Even on a blog which has "let others blaze my posts" on, there will be a per-post toggle so that you can have a blog be blazeable but still post that kinda personal journal-y thing without needing to worry about some asshole paying $10 to make 2500 strangers see it (or whatever tumblr's rates are, i don't remember).

Also, if someone *does* blaze a post that you didn't want blazed, you have the opportunity to cancel the campaign at any time, even before the campaign starts generating impressions. So if you forget to tag something unblazeable, you're not helpless in the face of someone deciding to blaze it.

#tumblr blaze #tumblr update #cool new tumblr features #i honestly think this is really cool #but staff didn't do a fantastic job in their post of selling the opt-outing-ness of it which is a big thing for tumblr users #most tumblr users don't want their experience to change v much

oh my God i just tried out the tumblr mobile website on my phone's internet browser and holyshityouguys were you hiding this from me??

i just deleted the app fr

#holyshit I can mess with already-typed tags just like on desktop waaah?! 😂 #when people put links to other tumblr posts in their comments I can actually click them!! #I *can* turn off people's weird blog settings to make their blog readable! I didn't think you could do that on the mobile site but it's eas #WHY does anyone use the app?? #the only thing I can't seem to do is drag and rearrange tags anymore #but god knows that feature never seemed to work on the app either 🙄 #it just rearranged tags in random order so you'd spend way too long trying to fix them before giving up and rewriting #or maybe I just have thick fingertips and it's a skill issue but whatever #point is: zero buyer remorse this is so much better #it's a brave new world y'all 😆 #hellsite #game changer

Guys why.. why is there a luffy tab? I don’t know anything about one piece, I don’t follow this tag, I don’t… think it’s trending? Is it his birthday or something? Is this a tumblr joke I’m not getting? Does the staff just really like luffy? Am I supposed to care about him or something??

Explanation

#tumblr #why #I’m just confused #is this a passive aggressive way to get me to use new tumblr features #bc if so then I’m just never gonna use the tab feature #you can’t threaten me with anime protagonists

[ganondoodle]

said this on tiwtter too but im seriously at my limit, people go and be all like "oh my god young people have no idea of basic internet security omggggg" and the same person will immediately make an account on t/hreads that is stealing so much data from you its basically one step away from straight up kidnapping

i get we are all desperate, i really do, but i WILL judge you if you go and sign up for the literally shittiest app on earth thats really just a flimsy disguise of a bunch of data suckers in a trench coat

use tumblr, cohost, pillowfort, (the latter two also allow nsfw) ANYTHING but that suckerberg leech i am BEGGING you

idk how accurate it is but i saw the numbers of 75 MILLION sign ups for the threads bs, what the hell are you doing, i feel like im in one of those old anti technology comics were young people just walk off a cliff en masse bc they only look at their phone and nothing else while im the old guy in a chair watching them do it

#ganondoodles talks #are people seriously this blindly signing up for anything new a big -KNOWN SHITTY AF- corporation is putting out #isnt it literally just like insta but worse #like #if you dont like tumblrs layout or whatever theres also cohost #its basically like twitter but also has features of timblr #like having multiple blogs to on account #idk man i actually feel like im going crazy #what is this #this has made me feel more old than the knowledge that lil kids are doing a flat hand gesture for phones bc all they know are smart phones #if people are ACTUALLY making that thing be the next giant “”social media“” i will not forgive them #you will not peer pressure me there #-when i say at my limit im at my limit of desperate confusion watching people do the dumbest shit but going uwu the entire time doing it-
