following what's happening on twitter from tumblr when i don't have twitter is the same feeling as following a tv show i don't watch just by seeing tons of post about it on my dash and ending up getting involved emotionally anyway, except that this time the vilain ain’t even hot

tumblr is like that one grocery store in your town that has chaotically laid out shelves, a shop assistant that looks like Gandalf, and the whole place smells a bit funny but it’s got locally produced honey, and if you’re 50 cents short at checkout they’ll get you next time. twitter is Walmart. it’s run by people who are so far removed from 99.9% of the world’s population that they’ve begun to look and behave like pantomime villains. and I’m seeing all of these posts about welcoming twitter users back. and no, I don’t want them here. you know what happens when Walmart shows up in a town.

i love tumblr. it’s the only semi normal corner of social media left, and that’s only because it can’t be effectively monetised by the pantomime villains which in turn is because the assholes left and took their hot takes with them. to twitter. I’ve been around long enough to remember when it was a shit show. and I don’t want that to come back around again. so. I’m worried. Really worried.

Tumblr users: “Okay guys it is IMPERATIVE that we make this site look as uninhabitable as possible to keep Twitter users from plunging us back into the mid-2010s Dark Ages”
