Tumblr

Mullenweg and his subordinates like to claim that it's a 'free speech' zone that's friendly to oppressed groups, while spending an outrageous amount of time and company resources on policing, threatening, disparaging, silencing, and OPPRESSING those very groups. From calling all Black users "russian troll farm agents" to repeatedly and assiduously tracking, stalking, and silencing anyone who brings attention to this habit, Tumblr is an enemy of anyone who signs on. Responding to the deaths of more prestigious networks by *copying the behaviors that ruined them* demonstrates that Mullenweg's & Tumblr's ability to harm its users is more important than turning any sort of profit for once! Shame on the entire staff and their pathetic boss.

Customer service gives you cut and paste replies, on the rare occasion they reply. They will not help you. I've just lost an account I've had for over a decade because I lost the phone number associated with it and even though there are dozens of methods of verifying my ownership (including me talking to them via the verified email address) their response is essentially that I'm out of luck. They want to keep your private information and sell it to advertisers. Never seen a tech company that have no backup methods that don't require you to be logged in to fix LOG IN ISSUES. Absolute nightmare.

My account was terminated about three days ago and I have yet to hear a response back from the people whose job it is to fix it. I don't post nsfw content according to the guidelines, I don't spam, and I'm an actual person. I also never got any warning as to any wrong doings that would lead to me being terminated. So, short story short, the staff doesn't care about it's user base (unless you're an alt-right fanboy) and you should stay far away from this site if you can.

Tumblr tries to "look good" but has the worst treatment of customers. They trap you with campaigns you need to pay to get more "likes" for your works. But you won't get many. They send you messages that you campaign was "full impact" with many views and hood-lookung statistics. But you don't have the "likes". You try to contact them -which is really difficult - but you won't get any (senseful) response. Tumblr is just blablabla... won't recommend it for any artist!

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

After having data removed, they leave your name in their server, so the brand can be searched still off the back of your name. Delete means delete, or it does in certain parts of the world where brand piggybacking isn't consider good. Once you as them to delete, they should remove all data, morally and done without question. I now see why the customer service gets a low mark. Why do brands like to claim your data as their property, weird... and bit creepy.

I love Tumblr. There is one thing that really stops me from heaving the app all the time: PLEASE make the Tumblr app transferable to SD card. It helps a lot of folk like myself who struggle with limited available internal memory. Thank you and love you

Site is full of porn bots and pedophiles and the staff completely ignores any blogs you report even if it's for something serious like posting sexual images of minors. Dont waste your time it's a horrific environment

I didn't want to use their site, but I was trying to follow some content that applies to my career. So to follow, they asked me to register. Fair enough, but then they asked my age. Like that's any of their business? I tried to input that my age was negative six, but they saw through that and gave me the boot. Maybe they should try to make a better first impression. Geez.

Nestled amidst the bustling cityscape of Chandigarh lies a sanctuary for those battling one of society's most formidable foes: addiction. Nasha Mukti Kendra stands as a testament to resilience, offering a haven of healing and hope for individuals seeking to break free from the shackles of substance abuse.

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 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 $#*!.

Once upon a time it was actually excellent. Then Yahoo was bought by evangelical halfwits who bought Tumblr to evangelicize the hell out of it, slamming art pages, lifestyle pages and destroying the entire site. Then other halfwits bought the site and were deathly afraid of the Bud Light style backlash that would happen if they were less evangelical than the oppressors that destroyed the site in the first place. Compared to what it was, it's no more than 1/5 as great, shocking no one. What's the point in buying a site that you're afraid to let become good?

Tumblr is currently trying to become a copy of reddit, twitter, and instagram by shortening posts and reblog chains. A fundamental cornerstone of their platform. As well as other $#*!ty recent decisions (tumblr live, trying to make the platform more like tiktok, etc)

Expect 40+ spam bot notifications a day. If you report them, Tumblr management laughs in your face and does nothing to ban them. So you have 90% of the activity on the site literal spam bots and 10% snarky content farmers. It's not really much of an interactive community at all. Then there's the whole secondary blog thing with zero ability to comment as your secondary blog or follow others as your secondary blog. What's the point. The platform is rubbish. The management is rubbish. I wouldn't be shocked if all Tumblr was at this point in time is a laundering racket like Craigslist clearly is. This website and their trash phone app are a complete scam.

There are abundant places where adults can go online to be alone with content. What was rare and is now rarer still are places where adults can go safely online with adult content in a community setting. Tumbl abandoned the vast number of users who helped make it a worthy brand in December of 2018 when they decided to restyle themselves as morality police. I'll never log in again, but I'm not deleting my account, just so they'll know whom they're NOT reaching now.

From a usability standpoint, Tumblr is very good. It's one of the most user-friendly blogging sites currently available, and it's intuitive enough to use that most people should be able to work out how to use it within a week or two of signing up.

This comes with a flipside, though. Because of its ease-of-use, it's gathered enough of a young user base that Tumblr could be described as the Twitter of the blogging world. There's not always a great market for lengthy text posts like there is on Wordpress, so you'd better learn to be succinct if you want to gather any kind of real following on the site.

Having said this, the ease-of-use also makes it one of the better sites if you want to have a good place to find stuff related to your main fandoms or if you're into photography and stuff like that. Plus there's actually a pretty active writing side of Tumblr, so if you're looking for resources to improve your writing, there's stuff on Tumblr to help you with this as well.

The place where this usability falls apart is that while the interface is simple and easy to use, it's not always the best. Because of this, it's often necessary to use the X-Kit extension, which gives you the option of using a number of features that makes the site better.

Unfortunately, Tumblr has garnered a reputation for being a site with a toxic culture. This is absolutely true to some extent--some of the controversies that occur are things that would never be controversial in ordinary, reasonable circles. Sometimes people get crucified on Tumblr for nothing more than unfounded rumours (which is what happened to the original XKit guy), or because they produced some fan-art somebody was unhappy with (which has also happened).

I think it is starting to get to the point where a lot of Tumblr users frown upon people being like this, though. You'll sometimes see posts with tens of thousands of notes where people tell teens not to be like this, or not to base their entire worldview on what happens on Tumblr. I think part of this is because of the huge backlash against the more insane elements of the Tumblr culture that's happened in recent years, and another part simply because a lot of the users that were teenagers in 2011-2014 are now in their twenties.

While the main chunk of Tumblr is left wing, there are large chunks of the site that are pretty conservative. Unfortunately, some of the more conservative users on the site are just as bad for lacking any real nuance in their thought and arguments as the left-wingers they so often criticise for being whiny snowflakes.

There is this political side to Tumblr, but I don't think it's any more cancerous and lacking in nuance than the political side of Reddit or your typical Facebook political meme page for the most part. Plus, it's not like it was a few years ago--it's now possible to avoid most of the political hubris of the Tumblr culture altogether.

For the most part, Tumblr is what you make of it. If you want it to mostly be photography or aesthetic stuff, you can mostly follow that kind of blog and it'll be fine. Same thing with fandoms (though some are hugely more popular than others, as is the case on every site).

This is the part that I think a lot of people tend to forget about the site, and why a lot of people tend to have a bad time with it. If that as long as you have XKit and you use a bit of editorial caution when it comes to who you follow, you can have a great time on Tumblr. Just don't take anything on there too seriously and you'll be fine for the most part.

I commissioned this 'journalist' who apparently has marketing experience and it was the worst mistake I've ever made. He clearly has no problem stealing and thieving so be warned. I would steer clear unless you want him to disappear straight after receiving payment. He demands all payments upfront and straight after he will stop answering all correspondence. Stay away from Jamie Newsroom Lewis.

I joined Tumblr to find "older" photos, which I did, that's great, and to "publicize" my Instagram account.
I couldn't post from the Insta app to Tumblr, so I had to do it directly. Which is good really, since it turned out it counts as a reblogged post, therefore doesn't appear in the searches. Yeah, that's a con. So is the fact that only the first 20 tags can be found, although 30 is permitted.
No way to find a reblogged post through tags. Even if it's my own, if I want it to be found, I have to create a new post.
Creating quality content is time consuming everywhere, but Tumblr is less "rewarding" than any site I've seen before. Very few people - I've encountered with - actually use it. Unless you have a steady fanbase, it is hard to get followers - I don't really care about that anymore - you barely get likes or reblogs. That's the way I hoped to find similar blogs to mine, but it doesn't work, only on accidental level. I've tried various times of the day for posting, didn't work either, whatever the "statistics" say I cannot say that matters. I couldn't figure it out what's behind the magic of getting thousands of notices in 3-4 days.
"Staff Picks" is look like the site was operating by anime fan teenagers: that's it, anime fanfic, kitties-puppies, annoying gifs and stupid "artworks" mostly. Not a single artistic or mentionable travel photography.
"Tumblr Labs is a collection of experiments we're working on that might turn out to be useful, fun, both, or neither. They're not official or anything, so if something overly weird happens, don't contact our support team. Just turn the dang thing off." - Sounds very professional and ethical...
I've seen a number of users using irrelevant, but popular tags for notices and followers. Like a stock photo (claiming it's original content/own - it is, just someone else's) of some antique books was tagged with "hollywood", "pc games", "anime", "make up", "celebrities", etc and the sad thing it appears it works. Pathetic.
I gained a number of political/religious followers, they obviously do not follow my blog for photography, travel and fashion - I keep ignoring them. I haven't really recieved inappropriate messages so far (1-2), although recently sugardaddies found me. Lately multiple p*rn blogs started to follow me, I don't make a fuss about it, just block them, they're pathetic. That's why I always check who reblogged my posts and if I see someone inappropriate did it, by blocking them my post disappeares from their blog.
Many people don't like, just reblog the posts - I understand somewhere, since it stacks in your Likes. On the other hand, many people grab my photos and write some influencer rubbish under them, taking them out of context. I'm glad Tumblr and my watermark make clear those photos are mine.
Hard to find posts, partially because of the poor structure and poor management of the site. Say, a fashion photo gets uploaded/reblogged on an Adult content-flagged blog, you have no access to the archive (doesn't matter if the photo in question is not adult content). It's beyond me. Meaning if it's an older photo you have to scroll through the entire blog, which could be problematic if there are thousands of posts in the blog. Nerve-wracking, wasting the user's time for one post. Even with Cascadr or similar sites. Other sites simply blur out adult-content photos and flag them one by one, why not Tumblr?
There are really shamless blogs I've encountered, unfiltered and there are tasteful, artistic photos flagged as adult-content - which are not, according to the rules. Poor management.
The Dashboard is a catastrophe, especially if you want to edit your Queue and Draft, hours of scrolling up and down and lots of facepalms and startover again and again. The mass post editor is almost useless, barely more than a tag-editor.
By the way, "older photos". Almost every - if not all - artist I follow elsewhere, left Tumblr for Instagram years ago, this shows its significance. Preferences.
One thing is Tumblr has way less tags than Instagram and users don't even bother to use them, so it's easier to find anything over there. It also means Tumblr has older photos to explore without scrolling through thousands on Insta.
Another one: for instance, on Flickr (maybe Fb too? I'm not sure) you have an option to allow or not allow your uploaded photos others to download/save, Tumblr has no such function. If you upload something, anyone can take it - and they do. That would not be a problem if these people would give credit and a fashion photo would not wind up in an inappropriate blog, but they mostly don't. I watermarked all my photos, just in case.
Today I found three of my posted photos, surfing on a page and told the person to delete it or give credit to the photographer. They said, it's okay, done. They didn't do it of course. Instead before I could block, they quickly liked plenty of my posts, so they can save and post them later. I blocked them anyway immediately. I can't do anything about it. I cannot report, as it's not a copyright issue. I got that photo from the original owner, but I always give credit to all participants, places, where and when they were published, etc. They are photographers, MUAs, stylists I respect and follow their work since years. It's not the "stealing" bothers me the most (those photos are not mine technically, therefore they cannot be stolen from me, plus they were already published somewhere), but this kind of behaviour: demeanors that of a bully, they clearly let me know "you don't like it, I'm gonna take more". (How do I know it was taken from me and not from the published one? I took a look on their other posts and they clearly not the type who would read the artist's magazine read by a few it was published in, long ago. Also their weird, quick reaction. Gotcha.)
Secondary inconvenience I've found: I don't know which site generates the problem - or what's going on -, but on Tumblr you can pin photos (with the Pinterest app), however if you try to access them from Pinterest it only throws you to your own dashboard (or I don't know where, if you don't have a Tumblr account). The link actually doesn't lead to the photo you pinned.
I think I'm finished with the uploading and bothering with the posting, after my current queue and draft went out. I already invested a lot of time in them, so I don't want to just delete them, but it doesn't worth the energy.

Well, quite flexible and easy platform for blogging but needs a SERIOUS monitoring to ward off porn / explicit content.

I honestly think this site and all is very under staffed.
I know there are a lot of people who use the site, but to not be able
To help someone that it'll take literal years for a reply is just downright sad.
Not to mention many people have been getting away with cyberbullying people.
Unless something changes, I don't recommend this website.

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.
