Thread Anti-Necromancy Game

That makes me glad I only ever used it for porn.

I also used tumblr a lot between 2011-2015...2016? Though not as much anymore and nowadays I barely even look at my dashboard, mostly just browse and occasionally reblog stuff from a few blogs I like. Nothing specific that pushed me away from it aside from a general "just kinda losing interest"

i only ever use tumblr now for school, i had to get one again for a class. i also might browse an artist's blog for inspiration.

I feel like I'm probably more socially conscious because of my time on Tumblr, but I don't think that's a bad thing, and I'm still pretty recognizably Tre. I think I'd be a little different without it, but to say it had a negative effect on me would be hyperbolic.

(I mostly want to leave because it's been horribly mismanaged and I feel like it's objectively a worse platform to use now than it was before it got bought out initially, but my friends are still on it, so.)

It helps that I've always pretty deftly avoided Discourse® and enmeshing myself into anything resembling really distinctly serious conversation on there. I never understood the appeal of drama on there — especially given that I've been on there long enough to recall its original purpose as a microblogging platform — and, perhaps ironically for someone interested in entering the press, I find the process of debate emotionally exhausting.

Well everyone has different experiences, so I'm glad you were able to get something positive from using it.

No matter how much I tried to avoid it, there was this lingering sense of Black-and-White Morality. You were irrevocably bad if you ever did this, this is the way things should happen, yadda yadda etc. And I guess being an impressionable teen who was trying to figure herself out, I relied too much on how I appeared to other people, thinking that I had to think like them or I would be a Bad Person. Eventually I realized this was not a good way to live my life.

There was also this toxic positivity too. Like, you were automatically better if you were this or that sexuality or race or whatever. It's why I don't really tell many people about those kinds of things, I'm worried they'll only be interested in me because of it.

And yeah the platform is just incompetently handled in general too and there are better alternatives.

Sounds similar to my experience, especially with being more socially conscious - there's a bunch of stuff I learned about or were made more aware about there (pretty sure it's where I first heard about non-binary genders, for example) and I also generally stayed out of discourse and drama - I did see some, but mainly just experienced it secondhand. Overall, despite all of the site's flaws I had a positive experience

Tumblr helped me figure out I was bi when I was a confused teen, so I guess I got something good out of my time there.

Ignore this, accidental double post. Damn it I need some sleep.

oops i stayed up all night and it wasn't because of TV Tropes this time

I guess I did also figure out my sexuality on tumblr

ehhh in my experience tumblr is an utter shithole that ruined me and my entire faith in humanity in one fell swoop, and that's coming from someone who never actually posted on the site, just browsed it

Fangirls of a character: OMG I WANT HIM SO BAD AND BEAR HIS CHILDREN SO HANDSOME

How do I play you, Keiron?

So it is, but why isn't it “taze” when it clearly has a “z” sound?

for the reasons you stated above

and also because it was originally an acronym
