Turns out the potassium nitrate I had as fertilizer for algae to feed my slut isn't fucking a nitrate salt at all and I am pissed
I think a slut needs a more varied diet than just algae?
This is the worst typo in the world
This is the slut in question by the way

An open letter to @staff
I already submitted this to Support under "Feedback," but I'm sharing it here too as I don't expect it to get a response, and I feel like putting in out in public may be more effective than sending it off into the void.
The recent post on the Staff blog about changing tumblr to an algorithmic feed features a large amount of misinformation that I feel staff needs to address, openly and honestly, with information on where this data was sourced at the very least.
Claim 1: Algorithms help small creators.
This is false, as algorithms are designed to push content that gets engagement in order to get it more engagement, thereby assuring that the popular remain popular and the small remain small except in instances of extreme luck.
This can already be seen on the tumblr radar, which is a combination of staff picks (usually the same half-dozen fandoms or niche special interests like Lego photography) which already have a ton of engagement, or posts that are getting enough engagement to hit the radar organically. Tumblr has an algorithm that runs like every other socmed algorithm on the planet, and it will decimate the reach of small creators just like every other platform before it.
Claim 2: Only a small portion of users utilize the chronological feed.
You can find a poll by user @darkwood-sleddog here that at the time of writing this, sits at over 40 THOUSAND responses showing that over 96 percent of them use the chronological feed. Claiming otherwise isn't just a misstatement, it's a lie. You are lying to your core userbase and expecting them to accept it as fact. It's not just unethical, it's insulting to people who have been supporting your platform for over a decade.
Claim 3: Tumblr is not easy to use.
This is also 100% false and you ABSOLUTELY know it. Tumblr is EXTREMELY easy to use, the issue is that the documentation, the explanations of features, and often even the stability of the service is subpar. All of this would be very easy for staff to fix, if they would invest in the creation of walkthroughs and clear explanations of how various site features work, as well as finally fixing the search function. Your inability to explain how your service works should not result in completely ignoring the needs and wants of your core long-term userbase. The fact that you're more willing to invest in the very systems that have made every other form of social media so horrifically toxic than in trying to make it easier for people to use the service AS IT WORKS NOW and fixing the parts that don't work as well speaks volumes toward what tumblr staff actually cares about.
You will not get a paycheck if your platform becomes defunct, and the thing that makes it special right now is that it is the ONLY large-scale socmed platform on THE ENTIRE INTERNET with a true chronological feed and no aggressive algorithmic content serving. The recent post from staff indicates that you are going to kill that, and are insisting that it's what we want. It is not. I'd hazard to guess that most of the dev team knows it isn't what we want, but I assume the money people don't care. The user base isn't relevant, just how much money they can bring in.
The CEO stated he wanted this to remain as sort of the last bastion of the Old Internet, and yet here we are, watching you declare you intend to burn it to the ground.
You can do so much better than this.
The CEO is 100% behind the changes. In fact I suspect half of the post from yesterday comes straight from him "correcting" an earlier version of those core values.
Yeah it's not really staff who control this stuff, I don't think the CEO actually personally uses Tumblr at all or knows what it's like, but maybe they should at least be shown the 40k vote poll and other user feedback.
Everyone coming from other websites says Tumblr is easier and more useful. An algorithm feed would be tolerable if it were an option *turned off by default for new users as well,* because of it's turned on by default, new users aren't going to see content the way you're supposed to.
Chronological is what everyone prefers including on the other sites like twitter. You want to see everything posted by the people you are following, in order, which is why you follow people to begin with.
Gonna start taking one of these pics every time I smoke. I love the warm and cool colors of the photo on the right, I almost want to paint it

Tu ne faisais pas des études de web-design ?
A l'époque ouais, mais c'était des études par défaut qui m'ont pas apporté grand chose, en 2017 j'ai fait une license pro métiers du jeu vidéo et ça a été la meilleur année d'école de toute ma vie, c'était vraiment la voie que je cherchais (et j'ai pu le faire grâce au bac+2 du DUT MMI)
Et depuis, je bosse en tant qu'artiste 3D low poly tout en faisant une campagne solo custom pour Quake non seulement pour l'amour du jeu mais aussi pour accumuler de l'expérience en gamedev pour le jeu commercial que je projete de faire
Je me sens vraiment chanceux sur ce coup-là, j'aurais pas rêvé mieux 👌
low gravity platforing is fun, actually
