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.

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.

They flagged so many dumb things when it first came out and it's still doing it. A video of me performing at a theme park was flagged...and a video of my dog was recently flagged. I think they removed it eventually.
