If you are considering leaving the social media of the Meta company, here are some tips.
January 19, 2025 Before you leave ... Make a list of the mutuals whom you'd like to stay in contact with. This can be challenging if you have a lot of mutuals. Try to select no more than 150. Why 150? Read the text in the footnote, about Dunbar's number.
Now write on your list where you can contact these mutuals. Maybe they have a blog and a public e-mail adress. Maybe they use messenger services outside of the Meta company, like Signal, Threema, Skype or the messenger here on Tumblr, or others. Maybe they offer a newsletter to which you can subscribe. Ask them if you don't know. Yes, this is tedious work, but it may be worth while.
Or: Write a post in your Meta social media, explaining where you can be contacted in the future. Ask in your post where you can contact your mutuals, if they want to stay in touch with you. Give them the option to write you a private message about this, instead of a comment which can be read by others. Another idea: If you want to, write a post about Tumblr (or the Fediverse, or Pixelfed or other social media that you can recommend). Explain the advantages of these social media. Maybe link to a guide to them, like this one for the Fediverse: https://fedi.tips/ Maybe some of your mutuals will follow you there.
Footnote Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person. You can read more it here.

In New Zealand each city has their own pride month celebration, and each February is Auckland's turn. Auckland is the city has the largest population in NZ hence the celebration is huge in comparison.
The celebration has turn sour after some violent incidents and the protest against the Destiny Church / Man Up group (in local library and pride parade). Their leader Brian Tamaki is the New Zealand version of Trump, but the worse thing is he is hiding under the disguise of a "Church Leader". Therefore, his words have been poison and slowly seep into families and especially young kids grow up in that environment.
I am glad that our Rainbow whanau was defiant and stand against these bullies, and still put on an amazing parade. Please don't be disheartened by a bunch of people how are not educated enough to understand how beautiful you all are as individuals and as human beings.
I love you and support you!
Destiny Church groups stormed children's event yesterday, blocked Rainbow Parade.
Getting back into doctor who singlehandedly made me realise that Instagram was an awful dreadful bad no good place and that a Tumblr migration was in order
De Regreso a la Noche (Ciudad de México, 2022), por Abelardo Ojeda.
(Había comenzado a escribir este texto en inglés y luego me di cuenta que los que no hablen español pueden traducirlo o mandarme mensajes después para conversar cualquier duda, así que para fines prácticos lo voy a dejar en español.)
Podría comenzar diciendo nos quitaron Instagram, como si se tratase de una app que diseñaron para fotógrafos pero bien sabemos que no es así. Instagram fue creada para que la gente subiera las fotos que toma con el celular, tan claro lo dejaron que nunca en todos estos años nos dejaron tener el formato 2x3 en vertical y siempre siempre tenemos que adaptarlo con unas malditas barras blancas o alguna clase de marco.
Como muchos saben, el CEO de Instagram anunció hace tiempo que la app no iba a estar más enfocada en fotografía y por el contrario, iba a girar su interfaz totalmente para favorecer el video. No tengo problemas con que tengan video, pero sí con que decidan que la foto ya no será más un contenido principal.
Los cambios de interfaz (UI) en la última versión de la app, es probable que no los hayan experimentado todos aún, pero básicamente los textos ahora aparecen dentro y encima de la imagen, restando espacio e incluso provocando problemas de lectura para los que suben videos con subtítulos. De pronto me pregunto si lo que intentan es boicotear toda la plataforma para que Facebook tome ese segmento y lentamente se deshagan de Instagram. Puede ser que sí, puede ser que tengan ya otros planes dentro de Meta.
A todo esto, sumen un algoritmo cada vez más castigado y una mayor cantidad de usuarios que diluyen sus intereses entre miles de videos de los temas más diversos.
Y de pronto en todo este problema (que no debería realmente ser un problema), existe Tumblr, sin tantos altos y bajos, con comunidades bien establecidas hace años y con contenido más diverso y más raro (único muchas veces). Ahí es donde me pregunto... ¿y por qué terminar en Instagram, si lo que uno crea no es para todo el mundo? Es decir, es posible que siempre exista público nuevo que aprecie la foto de calle y todas sus variantes, pero si ya tienes un lugar en donde la gente tiene bien definidos sus gustos y la forma de publicar es más libre y diversa (textos con imágenes y video, indexación en Google, etc), ¿para qué usar Instagram?
A lo mejor esta es la famosa tercera llamada para regresar a los blogs, sean Tumblr, Wordpress o donde más les guste. Si ya sé que Tumblr también tiene anuncios, pero creo que aquí obtienes más a cambio en comparación con lo poco que puedes recibir en Instagram.
Pues nada, me liberé de la bestia y Tumblr regresará a ser el principal, mientras no decidan también convertirlo en otro Instagram.
Desperately looking for an art community outside Instagram. For my first post, I give y’all some classic meme cats made (making) thanks to gouache and chronically being online. Let me know what y’all think, any art tips for tumblr, and who I should follow on here! Thank you for being here!
One Foot Out of the Closet, Part 29 probably: My Instagram Legacy
Here I attacheth an obituary dedicated to my dead instagram accounts.
@sapphickaleidoscope, formerly known as @kaleidoscopeofrainbows was born in this blessed year of twenty-gayteen when I found I was not having the best of luck socializing with other accounts on tumblr. I hardly have friends here. I hardly understand Tumblr tbh. So I made an instagram and amassed over 200 dedicated followers. I started the account by just shit posting bad screencap edits of steven universe and DDLC but also began posting poems I sent my girlfriend and vice versa until she broke up with me late May. I archived all her posts, hoping to gain strength to view them again one day. My account blossomed into a positivity kind of inclusionist account but after befriending many exclusionists and hearing their viewpoints, I favored their ideas and became somewhat of a discourse account. I loved being able to connect with followers in such a personal and direct way but then it all came to an end.
It was the 23rd of July, I went to the theater and watched a documentary on Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. It was a good show, I felt really at peace. Until I checked my phone and saw many messages from followers wondering where my page went and why I deleted my account. Apparently it’s a common problem for IG to delete personal accounts at random without giving a reason. I sent an appeal but I expect nothing. I tried to create a new account but it failed. I tried to log into my other accounts, it failed. It is the 27th and I still have access to only my personal account which is connected to Facebook. However, I have access to my accounts on the computer...which isn’t helpful because I cannot post from the internet.
@********* my art account created in late 2013 and surmounted 500 devoted followers is now dead because I cannot log in. My friends will no longer have access to my art in a public manner. I don’t use facebook and refuse to return to that hellfire. I posted my journey in art from my humble doodle-beginnings through my college career, all un-accessible to me now.
@********** my cat’s account on instagram is also deceased. Press F to pay respects. I have no way to post my positive pluffy to the interwebs that are IG. Thank you, you dumbass corporation. LISTEN TO YOUR USERS NO ONE LIKES YOU INSTAGRAM. Stop adding shit like IG TV and spend your budget fixing bugs and problems your users are constantly encountering. AND if you keep deleting accounts at random like this, you aren’t going to have any fucking users. ALSO FIX YOUR BLOODY ALGORITHM no one likes that the posts aren’t chronological. PLUS THE HELP CENTER IS FLAWED. I couldn’t send an appeal through the app, it only worked on the internet version of IG.
I have few expectations to gain access to any of my four lost accounts. I’m just disappointed because I feel like I didn’t just lose an app, I lost many loyal friends. If there is no change in the next couple of weeks, I’m deleting instagram in its entirety from my phone because it’s just a useless waste of space taking up so many damn megabites on my phone if it doesn’t work.
Meta is updating there terms and services so that they will be reading our private DMs staring December 16 I am boycotting Instagram and Facebook as a result of that.
So here is my official announcement that I am moving all my social media to tumblr for the foreseeable future!
