i think tumblr is my preferred social media because it’s the website that reminds me the most of the internet from my childhood. like we are never again going to experience the internet the way it was in the early-mid 2000s when a lot of the Big Sites were just taking off  and didn’t exist yet and the internet was millions of weird small communities instead of like, Four Big Ones. Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube and whatever are always going to dominate now and even if you create your own little niche on twitter or whatever, random people are still going to find you and you can’t really escape bad takes from famous people or journalists who had one article published in the guardian and now think they are the authority on any given subject. but famous people don’t go on tumblr and advertising does not work here and you can’t see follower counts so influencers can’t exist even if they wanted to and a majority of the site are users who joined back in they hey day and stuck around because they know that no other site is going to provide them the kind of content tumblr does. yeah weirdos can still find you and your content can leave your little circle but it’s so much easier to build your own little world here for you and your friends who have the same interests without having to worry that like, your grandparents will see your post or fast food is advertised to you.
