Reddit - Tumblr Posts - Page 3
So my Reddit account has been permanently suspended for breaking the rules...funny story...I can't remember the last time I logged into Reddit. I honestly have no clue what they are even talking about. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reddit users— you are welcome here.
A few things you should know: Tumblr doesn’t care about karma or popularity or whatever. Post whatever you want. If all you care about is being seen, you’re in the wrong place. Also, curate your feed with following and somewhat with tags, but tags can also be used for conversations, quips, witty one liners, and additional commentary. Reblogging is important, calm down on the angry discourse, and… just dive in, guys, c’mon, as long as you’re not mean we’re not gonna bully you out or anything.
Tumblr users— PLAY NICE. I know we joke about how we use a hellsite, but Reddit really is a minefield. You can’t say anything without someone screaming at you about it and everything is extremely organized into subreddits, no one cares about the people or follows anyone really, and they never use their reblog-adjacent feature. They’re gonna be confused. They might mess up. They won’t understand our inside jokes yet. They probably think we’re still like we were in 2012. Give them time and kindness. Hellsite is a safe space.
I can’t believe it. Some CEO looked at Twitter and thought “yeah that looks like it’s going well. I want to imitate that business model”
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said Thursday that he wants to bring an end to a user-led protest that has made large parts of the influential website inaccessible this week. Huffman said in an interview that he plans to institute rules changes that would allow Reddit users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest, comparing them to a “landed gentry.”
Deep in the article, there’s this nugget:
“I would like subreddits to be able to be businesses if they choose,” he said, adding that’s “another conversation, but I think that’s the next frontier of Reddit.”
When people say “fuck u/spez,” this is Spez. I do not have the sort of imagination that can readily convert the way Reddit communities currently work to “businesses.”
The Tumblr folks adopted us Redditors. Now it’s time for us to return the favor
friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:
change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot
this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
you can set your likes and follows to private
checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!
tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3
AITA for walking away from my disabled mom?
My mom has hearing loss, this morning she was washing a pot with headphones in. I tried to talk to her but she couldn't hear me through the headphones. She couldn't take off the headphones because her hands were wet, so I reached out to move them. She turned around and started screaming not to touch her. Than she started screaming at me to talk into her better hearing ear. I didn't want to get yelled out so I left.
We just had an argument she's saying that it was mean to walk away. She said that it means I don't think that she's worth the trouble of hard communication. I explained that I left because she was yelling at me. She said that I'm making fun of her disability. So reddit, AITA for walking away from my mom.
the Reddit and Twitter meltdowns are so funny. tumblr is watching it all burn down, sipping tea while simultaneously welcoming the refugees of the websites with open arms. everyone is giving little tutorials of how the website works and ive weaseled my way into the crowd. i never figured out how tumblr operates, ive just stared into the void and let it whisper sweet nothings into my ear every so often. it’s a hell site with nine circles that has survived what could be deemed the apocalypse and has users like myself still stumbling around with a blindfold that they tied around their own eyes. it’s as equally beautiful as it is hilarious
obligatory welcome guide for redditors
A lot of the guides I've seen don't actually seem to understand how reddit works in comparison to tumblr so
your blog is basically your own small subreddit. some people curate this heavily to fit a theme, like a sub, most people don't
reblogs are culturally equivilant to upvotes but functionally equvilant to crossposting
there is an algorithm. it sucks and nobody uses it. turn it off in settings. everything is generally chronological
likes are functionally equivilant to saving a post
you've probably already seen this but change your icon and put something in your bio or people WILL assume you're a bot. personal info not required
generally, anything you would put as a comment on a thread should go in the tags or the replies of a post. only add comments in reblogs if you want it to become part of the base post
tags are mostly equivilant to flairs, used for organization and commentary
your dashboard is an aggregation of everyone you follow
there is an r/all equivilant(trending page) but it sucks and nobody uses it
our search also sucks. your best bet is using tumblr.com/tagged/[TAG] and not /search
there are no mods
by extension, reporting something doesn't put it in front of the mods, it sends it to staff, who may or may not do anything(usually they don't)
there is no karma, there are no karma limits. anyone can reblog anything, comment/reply to anything, or post in any tag
"reposting"(reblogging) old content doesn't matter. people can and will reblog the same post multiple times, including in a row
CAVEAT. reposting someones art(NOT reblogging, making a new post) is a dick move. i know this is commonplace on fandom subs but its not necessary here. everything you post should be [OC] unless you are reblogging. or posting shitty memes
we have our own sitelore, you'll pick it up
(though im not opposed to bringing some over from reddit)
our app also sucks. we do not have third party apps and any that claim to be are scams. sorry
for desktop, most people use the XKit Rewritten extension for QoL improvements and to revert shitty aesthetic updates, much like old.reddit
we have no idea where the porn rules are at either. add a mature content flag to anything you'd get fired for looking at at work, that's about it
finally, from the bottom of my heart, fuck u/spez
people (mostly on twitter) are pissing me off so much with the "its reddit, who cares"
like, its not a social media, its a collection of forums, if you hate certain subs for their politics or opinions, dont visit those (you control the buttons you press or whatever)
meanwhile were about to lose so much information about niche hobbies and interests,
and these are the same people who were complaining last week that you cant find anything on google without adding "reddit" at the end,
are you fucking stupid, do you want to have to look through unrelated blogs and ai generated/pay walled quora answers everytime you need technical assistance or wanna talk about a hobby? is that what you want?
im this close to losing it
with all these subreddits being forced back open, i think that it behooves all of us to not give reddit any traffic while the protest continues.
if subreddits can't be kept private because the CEO wants more traffic, then we shouldn't give the site traffic at all to begin with.
i love the malicious compliance, but also, if the CEO is aiming for traffic, then staying off the site would help to facilitate the malicious part of that compliance.
i have no point here, just thought it was worth mentioning.
I almost never posted when I used reddit. I left comments maybe once every few weeks. But here on Tumblr I feel like I need to be posting something. I know I don't really, but I've got 5 followers for some reason. I have a responsibility now. I wasn't ready to have kids, but here they are, all 5 of them, and I need to keep them fed. Here, my children, have a meager text post.
I am rewarded for my efforts with a little pop up that says some people reblogged my post. Once again, I cannot imagine why they would do that, but here we are. Back in the reddit lands, there were no tantalizing little notifications for upvotes. There was a little ticker for people to click, but that's passive. I got over a thousand upvotes once and I said "neat." But here on Tumblr, these interactions are active. If I get reblogged, it's not just a passing bit of reassurance. It's someone actually taking the garbage I just spewed out and sticking it up on the fridge for everyone to see.
I'm up on the fridges of like 10 strangers. And I want more.
Chat what's the opposite of "aged like milk"?
Genuinely fucking wild going back to Reddit for like two minutes and seeing people defending reddit cause "they deserve to make money" and "it's their site they can do what they want"
No wonder companies pull this shit
Just saw my Reddit Recap. Says that the post I've re-visited the most this year was the official thread for remembering Technoblade.
Honestly, I'm not surprised.
