Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I feel like those pushing the alternatives don't understand that most people do not care. And them not caring means fewer people on the platform. And fewer people on the platform makes the ones that do care....care less.

I was happy to leave reddit for Lemmy despite the lack of overall content because the stuff I want to see is (mostly) here and it's a solo endeavor. But discord...? I'm in a dozen servers with different groups of people, most of them don't want to deal with new platforms. I'd be running a Matrix server (and dealing with it's development wors) for a couple of people and discord for the rest....so what's the point?

I'm not even a discord fanboy....I'd LOVE to switch. But the reality is that I'd be leaving most of my friends and acquaintances behind if I did.
