isn't that kinda fucking awful though?

like, wow, that sounds like it sucks a lot

shit. no wonder i don't use tumblr

shrug The internet reflects real life.
SO yeah -- it is fucking awful and sucks a lot.

My problem with Tumblr is it's a logistical nightmare to navigate. Want to find the original comment someone has responded to? Not in the app. Not in the web browser unless you're viewing the old style site. Something has 3000 notes? You can only see 5. You have reblogged a thing? You want a list of those things you reblogged? You go to your page and see the list but not who you reblogged from? It's gone forever. Do not resist.

I found this.
Not sure how well it works, but I'm about to try it.
- This works if you're not using the app. And honestly I don't spend enough time on a computer on Tumblr (I don't really spend a whole lot of time there at all). But thank you. It is helpful.

Well sure, if you like the sound of your own voice so much, you can do that.

Or you could follow a buch of tags and reblog art, nature, politics, comedy, maths, articles, photos, gifsets and games.

And if you really want to talk to people, the reblogs, tags and notes are good places to get words out, and there are dms and asks too (if you switch them on).

But then aren't you just watching other people talk to themselves? Until you like one and then rebloggnig it?
- Have you ever been on tumblr? I mean like just gone to the website and looked around?
  How is reblogging a photo of a frog, a bunch of comedy gifsets and some current affairs news from a war zone, 'watching other people talk to themselves'?

I mean yeah Tumblr isn't great, but it does happen to be one of the only places on the internet where you can just be gay and not have to worry about it at all, so that counts for a lot.

I've spent a lot of time on Reddit (and now Lemmy) just being flagrantly gay, and I've only gotten shit for it once or twice.
- Oh I'm definitely not knocking Lemmy. But what I mean is, Tumblr is just, y'know. Sigh, I'll put this way
That's...a huge exaggeration lol
