it still confounds me that the denizens of this site can (rightly) call out how shitty the moderation is and its inability to keep up with false reports censoring trans people, and then see a poll where if tumblr goes down a good chunk of people are going to twitter

buddy, the place is owned by a vocal transphobe. it's a racist, antisemite, fascist haven now and they literally just took money from PragerU to plaster an ad for an anti-trans "film" all over the site

the usual excuse i hear is "there are creators on twitter who rely on it for money what are they supposed to do?" that's not how commerce works. the creators don't create a market to sell their work, the market is formed after enough people congregate somewhere so it's worth using as a marketplace. they're there because you're still there, not the other way around

"oh but i dont post anymore i just read it" your traffic on twitter allows elon to get investor money, because he can point to just your presence and reading activity on the site as proof the service is valuable

just stop using it already, cut the cord. delete your twitter. go to an alternative. yes most of them are still owned by shitty corporations but that's social media. stop using it altogether if you really want to disengage any support whatsoever

As a creator I am BEGGING those of you following creators, that genuinely wish to keep up with and support them, to use (and fund if you have the means) at least one of these alternative services ran by small teams, for example: Dreamwidth.org (classic blog service) CoHost.org (tumblog service) Pillowfort.social (tumblog/classic blog hybrid service) Itaku.ee (visual art gallery service)

These are some of my personal picks based on usability, services offered, and my preferred formats (long format and art galleries). They also all allow sexually explicit content. This is not an exhaustive list, this is just my top picks for services I want to see flourish. (and none of these services require invite codes to join.)

I DO NOT WANT to use twitter, I used it for so long because the AUDIENCE refuses to switch services. And even then I've slowed down on posting there. Most other creators feel the same exact way, twitter has been suppressing any artist that isn't pushing 10K followers (and even then can still suppress them) and more than half the people that are using it, aren't even seeing anyone on the service because of it so it literally does no one any good.

You don't have to commission a creator to support them you just need to BE there. Please just use the services that make it easier to see the creators you want to see.

We can't leave the literal threat to global democracy that is Facebook either. Folks, there is no moral imperative to being on a social network. Users are currency for these websites, and the ones who have them (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram) get to rule it over everyone else. Most of us have to build our lives and livelihoods around them because that's where everyone is.

I wish there was a way for more deserving social networks to take these douchebags out but we're stuck in that dilemma with no solution in sight.

Hey friends 🫂

[jv]

Be nice with staff today, folks

Ok I wasn't planning to share anything about this because I was waiting for any official comms, but I'm seeing people from outside of Automattic sharing this screenshot in a WordPress-related public discord server, so I guess the cat is out of the bag:

Image screenshot-20231006-005401-2-1 hosted in ImgBB

TLDR: most of the current staff is being moved to other automattic divisions and Tumblr will be run by an skeleton crew

My friend just shared some amazing lore on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

"Mike Nelson joined the cast in the very early days of the internet becoming mainstream in common households. Fans of the show would argue on MST3K message boards about who was better - Mike or Joel.

Mike would go on the message boards anonymously and make long posts about how Joel was better than Mike.

Just to keep fans fighting.

He understood the internet before the internet understood itself."

[plsburydoughboy]

Joel also very recently said that if it was up to him, it would have been Bridget Nelson and not Mike who got to take over as host. A surprise to her too
