it’s gonna be hilarious how everyone is gonna flood to tumblr for “Mission Report: December 16th” and the we’re all immediately gonna log out for the December 17th protest
@vgstims sent me this crying statue gif this morning and it hit me hard. I suddenly realized that I was in grief, dealing with the death of Tumblr as I knew it for over 4 years.
I never realized just how powerful an online community can be and to see it die is very tough to experience.
I just thought I’d share this with my followers, which believe it or not, is a little short of 50,000 on Tumblr, at 49,516.
The goal of my blog, as a fighter, was to bring the fight gym to Tumblr, to make it as real as possible for my followers, to have them experience virtually what a fight gym would feel like and what Manliness means.
I hope that I did that for all of of you!
As I said previously, I’ll continue to post until Tumblr takes me down, fight to the end!
I get why ppl are leaving tumblr but ive never deleted an account for anything in my life and if tumblr wants me to leave theyre going to have to kill me themselves
For people who are leaving tumblr:
You can find me on
• twitter as @typhonscience
• reddit as u/arthera44
• flight rising (it’s a game but whatever) as artherra
Anyway the last point I have to make here is that even if tumblr breaks under the algorithm (almost certain if they don’t back out of using it) and/or everybody leaves… I don’t have anywhere else to go or post things
people like to joke about it being bad, but I legitimately really like Tumblr. it actually feels like a blogging platform in a world where facebook and twitter are active political weapons that manipulate us elections. i don’t feel like i’m baring myself to content i don’t want to see here, or having to engage with a popularity-focused culture. the content isn’t sorted to influence you or trick you. it’s a bunch of people being themselves on their own terms. it’s oldnet.
yes, i do use other websites, but i’m not interested in posting personal things to any of them. this was a place i had control over and i’ll stay with it until i can’t. and when that happens there’ll be nothing left.
Yeah, I joked that this was the last platform my mom didn’t follow me on, but it was definitely a place where I felt more open about certain things. I don’t know what else will offer that, which sucks.
