i suppose as one of the people who initiated this move to tumblr, it’s fitting that i say that i don’t intend for this to replace twitter. i like to think of it more as a secondary place for the community, somewhere for people to use more as a journal than as a communication hub, a place that breeds positivity and welcoming rather than anything else. i really hope we can pull through with this and i think this could be something special if we do :)

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

ok i need to make this clearer: if you do not reblog posts and only like them you are contributing to this site actively getting worse and becoming like all the apps you hate. keep likes to things you just wanna keep off your blog. reblog everything else. ESPECIALLY fanart, which always needs a reblog.

and FYI: what i’m saying here is backed up by tumblr themselves. they admit this publicly.

if you want a good RECENT (as of the end of February 2022) overview of what is going on behind the scenes at tumblr, it is basically what i’ve been saying for years: the core staff is tiny, constantly not being listened to when they advocate for us, the community, and working there is a nightmare:

And how it can find itself again for a new generation.

[ID: Two screenshots from Mashable.com that read:

That discovery was almost entirely manual, made possible by the all-consuming, boundless energy of adolescence without any algorithmic design. "We are in this place in culture, where so many people expect algorithmic understanding," says Brennan. Tumblr might be the place for you to go out and find yourself, but "TikTok basically comes to you," says Zuccarelli, because the algorithm "knows everything about you." To compete in the recommendation algorithm arena, Tumblr would need to ask its users for more information about who they are and what they like something it historically has rebuked in favor of anonymity.

At the time of publishing, Tumblr reports that there are 9.4 million daily posts on the platform, compared to 84 million in 2014. But with the rise of '90s and early 2000s nostalgia among Gen Z, a revival of the platform seems possible. In January, D'Onofrio said that half of the platform's active users and 71 percent of its new users are Gen Z. Kahle who, at 25, is a zillennial, says attracting Gen Z and getting them to stay "may come down to the product." For example, Kahle says "if Gen Z's attention span is whatever percent shorter than millennials' then the recommendation algorithm needs to be used to churn out content way faster." /End ID]
