do you still use Tumblr??

[sadteenager]

I used to spend sooo much time on tumblr. I'm so glad I finally deleted it a couple of years ago. I just reopened an account, but only because I wanted to follow a few sims 4 cc blogs, but I don't follow any regular accounts and I don't have the app on my phone.

I'm torn on it tho. On the one hand it feels like such a waste of time and it's full of a bunch of nerds. But on the other hand, it's a little more versatile than other social media apps and is easier to curate a good feed. But idk since the posts can get long it's weirdly more overwhelming to me than twitter.

I still have a tumblr and idk it's more of a vision board of things I enjoy and my own little corner of the internet where things don't have to be about me. It's the most calming to me of all the social media platforms imo which is funny because it used to be such a hellscape when I was on it in 2012 lol

I go on there like once a week and find shit to add to my queue. I definitely don’t go on there as much as the old days, when I would go on multiple times a day and try to catch up on any posts I missed

I just go on to post some gifs every once in a while. I still like making them, and there's nowhere else to be creative with them.

I also nab gifs to make icons for here.

i've had my tumblr since JUNE 2009 so i feel like i have to stick with it at this point (same reason i'm still on lj lol).

i check my dashboard every couple of days and reblog stuff every once in awhile but that's it.

YEP! It's best escapist site.

Yep. No drama/constant outrage like Twitter, no misogyny like Reddit, and overall funnier. I find that the people who 'remained' on tumblr are 25+ now, so I prefer their sense of humor. And yeah, it's definitely better nowadays. Up until the porn blogs were purged we had twitter/reddit types and their awful takes on everything.

Re: do you still use Tumblr??

[missjersey]

Yeah but just to reblog funny things/fashion/social justice/art stuff. And dogs and puppies. I go on maybe once every other day and for a few min.

And I shamefully admit that I look up Zutara artwork lmao

[glitterslugs]

i honestly didn't know ppl still used it regularly, i thought it kinda got abandoned like LJ

Re: do you still use Tumblr??

[ferelden]

Yeah I use it for gif sets, funny LOTR memes, and the odd aesthetic shit.

Re: do you still use Tumblr??

[felixfin]

Yea, I use it quite a bit lately to find new digital artists and explore some pretty pictures. I find it largely has a more progressive group of people there, so I have found new books and movies through it.

I still use it regularly. IDK. The scrolling is soothing.
