I'm sorry but I am gonna choose to forget I ever learnt about this hellspawn.

It's ridiculous people are still pretending that the Trump admin aren't fascists even tho they do everything to make it crystal clear.

Yes I figured but wasn't sure if I wasn't missing something lol. Well at least I learned a new term (defederated).

Stressful as fuck, glad you are moving away from that.

When I say decentralization I refer to the fact that it is federated. Not sure what you mean.

Ah I see haha nice. Glad you like it, incredibly overlooked imo.

They are awesome :) check out the chopped and screwed remix as well if you like it

I have never gotten into twitter so I couldn't say, and I narrowly missed MySpace as well..

It was a lot of fun tho

What fo you mean use? It is for listening to!

But yes the cover (and artist name imo) is very cool

Whole thing is amazing, did a relisten today after posting and it always goes just as hard. Crooked Streets is a classic tho

It is a neat place, thank you!

Tumblr was a lot of fun. Yes it is a microblogging platform, but that doesn't explain what the appeal was. I have no idea what the appeal is today as I left in 2015.

People would share text or image or links of things they liked, and if you reblogged it (shared to your own blog) the comment you added would be retained when someone reblogged your reblog, creating ludicrous chains of conversations that people would build and build on. They eventually became unreadable because they got squashed into one line. There was no way to comment without reblogging.

Tumblr predates influencer culture, and tumblr celebrities were not really a thing (except for @pizza by accident being tagged everywhere).

You also had a tag system, where you added hashtags to reblogs that were searchable. This way you would find topics you liked, and blogs to follow. If you followed you would get their reblogs in your home feed.

The blogs had custom CSS, with graphics and music playing but less free for all than MySpace. This made some blogs into minor art pieces, along with the things they reblogged. This was a big part of what made tumblr cool when websites all started going uniform and looking exactly the same.

For me the initial appeal was high def images. Instagram had not taken off, and so finding consistent high quality images of art, nature, sub culture and pop culture imagery or artists, porn etc. was not as obvious as it is today.

I loved tumblr but eventually got bored. Eventually they killed custom CSS and porn, and basically made tumblr worthless for anyone who wasn't into fandoms (/s but kind of not. I have no idea what happens on tumblr today).
