I feel you so much :( I hate this. i twas for nothing. it hurt them. I hope they admit their fuckup and let us start posting again but god. we need a replacement. and like a real one. not a tumblr clone made by people who are trying to make a tumblr clone and cant handle the traffic. Like how tumblr replaced dA for a lot of people, we need that.
tumblr was good for getting art out but not in an intrusive way, you could customize your layout and your content, tags are an absolute godsend (seriously, i found a post i thought i lost from literal years ago but thankfully i had tagged it properly)Â Â
the site is so broken at this point and has such a ridiculous rap that itâd take monumental effort to patch it up and make it work properly again, with features weâd like and have asked for for years... i just dontâ see it happening in this capitalist hellscape weâre in right now. theyâre not going to admit they did wrong, and nobody wants the hot potato. all we have is clones, but clones arent quite good enough no matter the features they add.Â
Itâs very disheartening, but a fairly solid truth.Â

i dont know how anyone uses instagram for art unless theyre like. really general traditional artists
Same. if you just use it for pictures and traditional art, i can see it being fine-ish. but having to upload my artwork from my phone was absolutely infuriating, and the fact that most of the features are mobile only is just - mindboggling. plus like i said before the art theft scene on there is ridiculously huge, and I dont want no part of that. I have had minor experiences in art theft myself already and i aint got no time for that XD Iâm just glad I had followers that like me enough to point it out for me when it happens!Â
Iâve been around a long time, and I dont have very many followers because I donât post ârelatableâ content nor content every single day. But the people I do have I greatly appreciate, and I very much so miss seeing people that I myself enjoyed seeing slowly dissapear from my platforms one by one. itâs so hard to follow people to multiple spaces, I have a hard enough time checking both tumblr and twitter each morning.Â
At its heydays tumblr scrolling used to take me 2-3 hours each morning to catch up on what iâd missed the night before. Now? takes maybe half an hour-45 mins tops. it takes longer to check twitter now, and I follow a fraction of the amount of people there as I do on tumblr.
Call me a old humbug, but i miss the good old days XD
