“The underlying problem is that Tumblr is not easy to use.”
They’re bringing back the porn?
I thought they softened their stance on that already?
Nah they added a “mature” and “sexual” content option for posts but they will still restrict posts to only be visible to you. And it seems that there’s no clear line. I’ve had posted restricted of women in bikinis
Ah, so it’s even worse now?
I love !CuratedTumblr but that’s as far as I go.
I think Tumblr’s brand just got ruined. They were known for their nsfw material and now they don’t know what else to do with their lack of users.
tl;dr: clueless tumblr staff want to turn the dashboard into a twitter feed. Needless to say, everyone (including myself) is angry about it.
I don’t understand the comment that it’s not easy to use? The tagging system is probably the most functional one for discovering fandom or aesthetically grouped content.
The main gripes I gave are with the constant ui pushes to sign up for their app and their half assed way of dealing with nsfw content.
Tumblr was never easy to use; that was my main issue with the site well before its resurrection by Automattic. (Also, the whiners. Oh god, that place was chock full of bleeding heart weenies who tried to out-white knight each other at every turn.)
Yeah I never really got the notes system especially reblogs. It makes sense when a tumblr screenshot gets posted online, it just looks like a reply chain. But when I tried to use the site myself (it was 10 years ago tbf) I never got anywhere and I couldn’t find the funny.
Yeah, this won’t go well.
