Tumblr

Tumblr has been a downright disappointment. They target queer, trans, and POC creators while leaving hate speech and dangerous users on the site. They even unfairly tag normal pictures of trans women as explicit. They refuse to listen to their users and are constantly making changes that no one asked for and that people are actively saying that they hate, and are actively removing accessibility features. They're trying to make their site more like Twitter or TikTok when its users don't WANT Twitter or TikTok, we want to use TUMBLR. The site is overrun with bots that try to scam you and staff has known about this for years but refuses to do anything about it.

They claim that people with epilepsy should just "buy the add-free" so they don't see ads with flashing lights that could literally KILL THEM. They also have extremely invasive promotions, such as what they're doing with Netflix's live-action One Piece. Even ad-free users who are paying to not see ads are seeing this. It's frustrating and annoying, and no one asked for them to change the layout of the dashboard to continue to push this product. This stunt is actively making me hate One Piece rather than making me want to watch it.

And to top it all off, they claim that anyone with negative feedback is just trolling them. Despite hundreds upon thousands of people all saying the same things over and over and over again. It's disgusting, it's disheartening, and I wish that staff would pull their heads out of their asses and actually listen to the people keeping this dumpster fire of a site going.

Tumblr has found a "Unique" Audience - According to Compete.Com, Tumblr.Com has over 1 million unique viewers a month, and almost 3 times that in total visits on a monthly basis. Before I even looked at Tumblrs numbers, I was prompted by friends to check out the site. Often I find myself in a flutter with Twitter and can't seem to save myself from the sea of numbers, letters and links, overwhelming to say the least! But Tumblr has pulled me from a feathery grave of "Tweets" and planted me in one its visually expressive universe that I can relate to. The only thing wrong with Twitter is that its not Tumblr. Thank you Tumblr.Com!

I've used Tumblr for 5 or 6 months and I already want to delete my account.

The Tumblr staff consists of some of the most lazy, selfish hypocrites on the planet. A few months ago my account was terminated for no given reason whatsoever. I sent Tumblr support multiple messages asking why my account was terminated and they didn't respond to any of them.

The Tumblr staff also allows white supremacists on their platform whereas members of the LGBT community are flagged and/or banned. It's sickening.

TL; DR The Tumblr staff is incompetent and lazy.

So easy and compatible, has great content and there are a lot of cool people on there. You learn a lot of things and become highly aware of social justice and equality- which this world could use a lot of.

Tumblr is no exception to this. Social media is a fad now. In fact go outside and talk to people instead. If you can't go outside and talk to people then you're an $#*!.

I reported a fake "beware" written against me that uses very contradicting "evidence" abut my alleged wrongdoing against a known ban-evading hate artist on DeviantArt which is why I left the site in the first place, but they just HAD to escalate it to Tumblr to make me feel as unsafe as possible and started stalking and harassing me there. It's been a very long time since my abuse report has been submitted. No response. Seems the staff couldn't care less about bullying victims... Considering the fact that a lot of suicides were caused by cyberbullying on Tumblr, I feel I shouldn't be surprised it's still dying, and yet I am.
Do not go to this site... At all. Seriously, it's a very harmful, hateful, bullying paradise of a site. Just, stay away for the sake of your sanity and mental health.

I remember on tumblr I once received a message from someone who tried to tell me that an anime I liked was created by someone who was creating racist propaganda. I told her not to believe rumors like that on the internet, especially on a place like tumblr. Turns out, I was right and that the anime isn't created by some evil man. And it was just a rumor.

And that's basically what tumblr is like 24/7. Idiots believing in a lie without any sort of proof. They will bully people, they will argue all day and night. And the most embarrassing thing about it is that most of the people doing this are adults.

Some of the most craziest people are on this website. Sure, there are a lot of creative artists and writers. But most of the website is trash. Remember Kony 2012? Remember DashCon? Remember the ball pit? Yes, people on tumblr will blindly follow anything you tell them, as long as it makes sense in their little minds. Then they hurry to their blogs and type away about how 'brave' they are because they're fighting for what's right. Just as long as it fits in their little bubble.

Can't stand this place. It is horrible. I tried using it as a way to make friends and also share my hobbies and interests with others. Also, most people on tumblr act like a bunch of high school bullies. If you don't 'fit in' with the rest of them, you're treated like an outsider. Look, if you're an artist or writer, find a different website. Or even better, just leave social media behind because they're all horrible.

It used to be a site where you can be free with your art and your interests but it's turned into a place now where they have a censoring bot that goes around censoring nipples basically or anything that looks "seductive" and not well either. There was an outbreak of porn bots, which btw ARE STILL VERY MUCH ACTIVE, and that was the reason tumblr wanted to implement this, but they went about it the completely wrong way. They are going against everything they stood for and i honestly am done with the grieving of this site. It has been long overdue that tumblr would die just like myspace and every other trash social media site that started out well and just collapsed due to bad decisions.

Tumblr has driven off all of the users and content creators (both NSFW and SFW) that had kept me tethered to the site. My dash is a ghost town, and the censorship and filters make me feel stifled for choice. This is the worst blogging experience I ever had, and the punchline? Staff's "solution" to purge all the pedophiles and pornbots fixed NOTHING. They blatantly ignore the voices of its userbase, and every day that they don't fix the problem after the 17th is making my blood. I've already made several accounts on other sites. Once I find a good enough platform to export all of my content, I am gone. Tumblr can rot.

Tumblr live is annoying and no one uses it, and i have only seen people complain
You cant even permanently remove it from your dashboard

I first joined this site back in '13 but I didn't quite get into it until a little later in '13 and I found it to be a lot of fun to use, going on to make five more since. Sure, we do have that vocal minority (or majority, I don't really know) but there's a lot of fun and wonderful people on there.

Unfortunately, it's taken a hit with it's new guidelines (which only came about because of the FOSTA-SESTA act) and, to be honest, I do think there could have been something more of a middle ground when the changes went into the effect but the new laws put in place that lead to the changes poses a lot of liability as far as it goes, on top of AIs being a crapshoot. Otherwise, not much about it has changed.

All in all, I recommend the site.
