I am very amused with the collision of Tumblr/Twitter right now. Honestly this may not be a hot take but hear me out. I think Twitter users really need you more than you think. I think they need your perspective no matter how wild and nerdy we all are over here. I have used this platform for the longest, mainly to reblog my favorite things as a form of expression - mostly in my main account @la-boricua . I used Twitter to keep up with trending news and topics. But I am ok with this merging of worlds. So as a Libra āļø Iām going to be the stereotypical devilās advocate for both sides.
Tumblr: this also used to be a hype place for activism up until censorship arrived and turned off a bunch of peeps. I would love a come back if that space where innovation in organizing and activism happens.
Twitter: You all have been in an echo chamber for a long time ā even though you donāt want to admit itāTwitter was also that. Itās ok to hear new things, different voicesāeven if they come in the form of cool fandoms and gif use you are not familiar with.
Meā-while I was never truly goneā¦I have never consistently used Tumblr outside of niche interest and now Iām exploring doing microblogging again. The saturation of Twitter had turned me off from it for the longest so I will try this out for size. Everything has its upside š
