Them thinking that Tumblr is dead helps to avoid anything too complicated that Tumblr didn't start and end themselves.

[chrosairs]

Tumblr actually developed camouflage like a wild animal

Tumblr is actually way better _because_ most people think it's dead. It help keep the old-internet vibe alive.

The details of Tumblr's death were greatly exaggerated.

Make them believe we've perished so they can't come scrambling towards us

Tumblr being "dead" is what makes it so good.
A lot of toxic people love attention so they will actively avoid a "dead" social media platform.

Not saying there are no toxic personalities on it, but there are way fewer and a lot more easy to ignore.

The lack of algorithmic content is precisely why i like being on tumblr. No i will not elaborate.

one thing Tumblr users can collectivly agree on is theres not enough Vanilla extract in the cake

[shinyagumon]

Honestly I respect Tumblr users for completely rejecting the livestream feature they tried to shoe in, not because I hate livestreaming or short form videos, but more because I'm tired of every social media desperately trying to capture the same audience.

Like I use different social medias for different things, I don't want every social media to be like TikTok the same way I don't want every social media to be like Twitter or Instagram.

I think YouTube shorts are ok because it's still video content which is what YouTube is for so it fits.

Tumblr is somehow both heaven and hell, day and night, living and dead... It is the antithesis of itself.

[MissFazzington]

People tend to assume that, in order for your platform to be "alive", it requires to be filled with soulless personalities played by jesters seeking nothing but fame and gain, overflowing with companies engineering the most cunning ways to shove their propaganda down the user's every sense, maximizing inconvenience just enough for you to watch their ads yet not abandon the platform.
It's shocking how some people cannot conceive the idea of a place where it's just people expressing themselves, calmly showing who they are and communicating with each other not as competitors but peers.

Tumblr will never die. Like a phoenix in the ashes, like a vampire in the night, like any piece of food I drop on the floor even though I’ve gotten sick from this habit many times before and need to stop it, it remains.

[SeltzerFountain]

I'm convinced that nobody on the internet now has object permanence, if everything that's not in their face always in their face is dead

[iamsushi]

I would rather not have an algorithm that actively learns about me thank you very much

[smproject]

The second I learned you couldn’t see follower counts on tumblr I immediately felt so comfortable on it

[FloeAnimations]

“I went to take nap and you thought I was dead, and instead of calling 911 you replaced me and starting singing fricking show tunes?”

[Simon_Dunkaccino]

0:53 i can’t even begin to explain how stupid i find this entire paragraph to be

[aspillust]

"You had to find the blogs you liked and follow them yourself" GOD FORBID you have to put effort into personally curating your online experience, the HORROR /s

we are dying as a society 💀

I remember when back in early 2023 I was like "man, if only there were more fanart of this dead fandom im in" and then I found Tumblr and by god it felt like god gave me a personal invite to his domain for dinner and boy will i eat that up

[LeoForgetsToCreate]

Main reason on why I love Tumblr is that no one other than my mutuals even see the absolute feralness that has come over me for whatever fandom I'm in at the time. And I know that the ones who DO see my proud garbage heap are the exact same as me! Sure we may no longer be in the same fandom, but I do love seeing you on my dash yelling in the tags about wanting to eat someone's art! And whenever our fandoms collide either from one of us convincing the other to check out the media or by shear coincidence, we know get to rave about our shared interest together!
