Why does the entire rest of the internet think tumblr is “dying” or “dead” when I have seen absolutely no drop in activity level on here ever

Would you rather twitter and reddit people move back here? I think it’s good people think we’re dead

( despite the massive drop in activity since *the incident*, my timeline has been way more sane since then too )

don’t tell anyone we’re still here. we like that everyone thinks we’re dead.

“I can’t believe Tumblr is dead.”

*in the distance* “Yes, keep telling people we’re dead!”

“Sometimes I can still hear their voice.”

*in the distance* “No you can’t, we’re dead!”

listen Tumblr was pretty toxic in its heyday but it’s weenie hut Jr compared to Twitter now

listen twitter has toxicity baked into its ui. 

if they wanted more nuanced and in depth takes on their website they could have extended the character limit again but instead they give us threads and only put one or two paragraphs on your feed at a time. imagine if tumblr picked a few random sentences out of the middle of your long post plus a comment or two to put on people’s dash. 

it’s not even that people don’t care about context, the platform itself hides the context.

at least tumblr hot takes are written by an overwhelming majority of just weird nerds and teens who don’t hang out with other gays… on twitter you can stumble upon any unbelievably bad opinion and discover it was written by an nbc showrunner who married the ceo of a startup that converts rental properties into oil wells. like at least nobody here has money or influence

#listen…tumblr is like the great mouse detective/american tail/ratatouille/rescuers rodent microcosm of reality#we live parallel lives but the stakes and consequences are proportionally tiny and sound like angry squeaking to people passing by#like#explain fandom drama to someone who isn’t extremely logged on and all they will precieve is 🐀 ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ

the experience creating art on tumblr and twitter is so wildly different because it’s like

twitter: you make one post that does not cater to the incredibly specific niche interest you have catered and 15 of your followers scatter like mice

tumblr: half my dash is DC Comics. I do not remember following a DC blog. I follow several DC fanartists and apparently have been for several years. I have no idea when they became DC artists. I have never read a DC comic nor do I have any interest in doing so. I will not be unfollowing.
