I think one of the funniest things about anon hate on tumblr is that, at least in my experience, it’s usually completely without context and is ultimately incomprehensible. You have to guess what they’re responding to, and it’s even more of a mystery if none of your posts have broken containment recently.
I mean, I suppose it’s ultimately enough to just say “fuck you” or “you think you’re so great but you suck” or whatever, you’ve taken your potshot and vented your anger. But on the receiving end, it’s like… sitting at a restaurant and the waiter comes up and says “oh, and this was sent along by an anonymous gentleman,” shoots at you with a nerf gun, and misses. You ask, baffled, “what’s that all about?” And the waiter just sort of shrugs and walks away.
most insane tumblr experience by far is coming across a post from the mid 2010s that has permanently altered the brain chemestry and life course of you and several of your friends and aquaintances and realizing it only has like 1200 notes
Tbh this is why I love this hellsite. I feel like I’ve accessed a forbidden library full of wonders and horrors.
The accumulation of the greatest of wisdoms and the most strangest of humours and uh, the forbidden² section
“tumblr became bad because of porn ban” “tumblr is bad because of bots” “tumblr is bad because there’s hateful people who post freely” THE AUDIO POST HAS A COPYRIGHT DETECTOR NOW. DOESNT ANYONE REMEMVER WHEN YOU COULD PUT ANY SONG ON HERE AND LISTEN AND SCROLL AND LOVE????????????? STOP SENDING ME TO SPOTIFY APP
So a real thing with the dissolution of social networks is the loss of small connections. Funny takes and long threads can be archived, but how do you preserve your bond with a mutual? How do you find each other again? With every platform move we lose small connections with people we appreciated. That’s a sad, involuntary little break-up. Sorry to all the little ghosts I’ve lost over the years. Sorry to all the new ones coming.
