- Last december Tumblr decided to ban porn against suggestions. People praised the initiative to end pedophilia but banning every single kind of nude is not the answer.
- The 'porn algorythm' was a mess, flagging posts that had no

I still use it and I still like it. I like the format and tbh I don't know where else I could even go for fandom stuff?

This is also very subjective, but I find that Tumblr/the people I follow there seem mostly really sweet, supportive and good-humored. I find that it is not at all a hostile or aggressive place, which I really appreciate.

Yeah it's definitely just who you follow.

[schmankerl]

Yeah, I think that's very well possible. But I guess/feel like Tumblr kind of makes it comparably easy for one to avoid people/comments you don't care for. I've got the impression that in other social media channels it's a lot more difficult.

I appreciate that it's very easy to curate your own little corner of tumblr.

Anytime I ever see drama it's mainly my mutuals posting to laugh hysterically at said drama as opposed to my mutuals starting shit.

Yeah, ia. I don’t do stan stuff on tumblr but I like it for the pictures and people I follow and unlike twitter or Facebook or whatever, I don’t feel annoyed or down when I log in 🥴😂

Same, I've more or less had good experiences maybe minus going into normal tags then seeing cp. Like for all that ONTD complains, I would say the userbase was exactly the same lmao.

I think you can create a nice experience based on who you follow, but if you ever look at the notes on a popular post, as a whole tumblr is full of awful people lol

[therearewords]

Why would you ever look at notes

[tucker]

kind of like looking at youtube comments, isn't it? you know better, and yet

[therearewords]

I once accidentally opened them on a YouTube video from yoga with adriene and braced myself because YouTube comments. I still don't believe it was all positive and melodramatic.

[imabadkid]

mte. the notes section is fun or at least it used to be fun before tumblr became a ghost town.

[schmankerl]

Aww I've got to say I haven't really had that issue, but I mostly follow an already older and very "bland" show and its fandom, maybe that's one of the advantages of that.
