Sky ~ she/they ~ late 20s ~ ID your posts Multifandom mess, primarily CR and SPN. Here there be current events, internet idiocy, and a whole lot of shipping. On intermittent hiatus; when I'm around I'm mostly queue. Please lmk if you need me to tag something. (Header is CR art by bravenot, of Caleb kissing Veth on the forehead. Icon is a headshot by strangearte of Izz, a person with light grey skin and white hair in an undercut against a gold background. They have a black, butterfly-mask shaped marking over their grey, pupil-less eyes, covered in gold freckles, with further freckled black on their pointed ears and bare shoulders.)
Casual cruelty has become so ingrained in a lot of people because we live in a society that is structured in a cruel way. To be quite honest you are obligated to consider the harm of your words and actions no matter your personal hardships.
I do enjoy the comedy of welcoming redditors to the platform with open arms like shhh you’ll be safe here and then our house immediately bursts into flames behind us
for a while there i was sympathetic to tumblr because of how much they’re in debt; i was kind of like “well of course they’re absolutely desperate for new users, they literally need the money or else tumblr goes down forever”. and then suddenly today it hit me that there’s actually no fucking reason for that debt to be causing these ui changes? the userbase has been INCREDIBLY clear about what they want from tumblr over the years, not to mention clear about the fact that even twitter people don’t need this place to look like twitter. it actually would be very… EASY? for them to just make changes in a direction people would actually be HAPPY with?
for fuck’s sake there were people trying to organize a “crab day” for tumblr despite tumblr doing nothing but telling us to go fuck ourselves for months on end. there were people spending hundreds of dollars on check marks just for the glee of MAKING FUN of twitter. can you IMAGINE how much money this userbase would donate to tumblr if they actually made ui updates geared toward what people have been asking for?
if tumblr actually crowdsourced ideas or even just LISTENED to their userbase it may have been possible for them to make way more money than they’re begging for now, they just insist on trying to drive their actual demographic and loyal userbase out for literally no reason
They are doing surveys that are really hard to find because their survey blog has reblogs disabled for some reason.
this website’s moderation sucks ass and it has a terrible bot problem and there are an enormous amount of bugs but thankfully we have a staff team hard at work not addressing any of these but instead making shitty ui changes that nobody wants
I’m talking about childhood here, not adolescence. This isn’t about getting a job in high school, it’s about what was in your piggy bank when you were ten.
[ID: a photo of the moon in the sky with colorful text over it. A red arrow points at the moon and says: Pure and Unsullied Celestial Orb? Wrong! An ape hath touched it! Blue text reads: Happy Mon Landing Day! It’s surrounded by cartoon stars and a smiling Saturn. /]
