Do you ever hear people talk about social media and want to tell them about tumblr?
Yes, this is about the ‘reveling information’ that came out of that woman blowing the whistle on Facebook and Instagram. It’s also about Twitter’s ‘enemy of the day’. And so many other things.
People don’t even know that there are communities that you can create for yourselves. Or places where hearing about ‘the discourse’ is avoidable.
Tumblr is not without all it’s many, many flaws. But it’s our place. It’s the hellsite (affectionate) because it’s better than pretty much everywhere else that you can find people.
And while I do occasionally like the jokes about how nobody from certain sites should migrate here, I prefer people learning and think it would be better than gatekeeping.
