Did you use Tumblr back in the 2000s and 2010s? What was it like?
>>43359115Tons and tons of underage girls would post their nudes.
i used to look at it all the time, but actually using and engaging with it it felt too feminine and taboo for me as a repper
i grew up on 4chan, sadly - my friends tried to get me into tumblr but i never could get into it
>>43359115its where i grew out of being an atheist antifeminist edgelord and realized i was trans
>>43359322You stopped being atheist?
>>43359115It was like 4chan for teenage girls
>>43359115i was dualwielding Tumblr and 4chan from 2013 to 2018, largely because of Homestuck, music and yaoi, and honestly they're not entirely unlike eachother. Tumblr had a very wokelib turboaccepting streak about queer shit that wasn't really talked about (but still was there) in 4chan spaces. main difference was how loud people were about their faggotry.>t. 13 years trooning midshit
>>43360034I picked up tumblr long after 4chan and only due to friends that got into it, but instantly found that the crazy bitches on there got butthurt at the smallest things like if you replied to them with the wrong meme and they took it as a microaggression or something, the whole "triggered" shit was real. So I ended up quitting and just occasionally checking on porn blogs or artists without logging in. I didn't even bring anything offensive with me from 4chan, they're just ridiculously sensitive. Still that way I assume just different websites now, pillowfort twitter bluesky etc. People need therapy, getting angry over shit that nobody actually said is no way to live and will just leave them friendless unhappy cat ladies that end up dying early from the stress of their own constant anxiety.
>>43359115Insanely goated for gooning, makes twitter look like a creche
>>43359115it was great. although there was a bunch of peak "woke" shit like MOGAI and xenogenders and regular discourse about random shit, it was a goldmine for me bc of the well drawn porn (I still have vivid images Linda from bobs burger porn and aged up kyman drawings)
>>43359115Yes. It was essentially what twitter is now. Funny posts mixed in with the most insufferable communists/vegan/feminist idiots youve ever seen and foreign national bot campaign
used it alot in the early to mid 2010s. left it after the porn ban. picked it up again two years ago because my sister uses it alot, left because it's become nothing but people complaining about, like, nothing. Kinda like here desu.don't really remember what it used to be like, most of our life back then is blocked out by trauma and memory issues. Used it for almost entirely furry art and fandom though, stuff like undertale, homestuck (another thing I had to rediscover recently), mlp, aLOT of mlp.
>>43361011I remember ask accounts fondly, people used to make careers out of drawing responses to asks and it was really, idk, fun
I started in 2010, it looks like? I guess it depends on what you were trying to look at. in my case, kink content, fandom shit, fashion history. It was fine. Incredibly poorly moderated though.
>>43359115>Did you use tumblrYes>What was it likeExactly the same as it is now, except seemingly more users, same "I'm better than you in my keyboard warrioring", "trans people exist btw", and "I hate trans people because I'm scared of what I dont know", except the focus was mainly on the LGB part and "bring the LGB back to LGBT" didn't exist yet. Also about 70% less mtf blogs and the trans related content didn't suck absolute ass and wasn't 99.9999999% trans pride bullshit, just trans people tracking progress, giving tips on passing, and recommending doctors.
i argued with people about otherkin stuff>>43361204>fashion historyi tried to use it more recently for 17th-19th century fashion history but i couldnt get much out of it ;_;
