I love tumblr because its a great way to collect images as art inspiration and keeping in touch with other artists, but dear god is it an awful platform for everything else. Maybe I'm biased because I grew up on lj fandom, but trying to host a discussion or dispell misinformation is impossible.

re: dispelling misinformation, that's one of the most frustrating things for me. You can correct something all you like, but when people can reblog it from any of the random sources who have already posted the mistaken version then there's no way to make sure they're getting the correction.

Not to mention the fact that it's perfectly possible to edit posts you reblog, so anyone with malicious intent could erase any fixes anyway. At least with LJ/DW there's ONE source post and if you change it, anyone who visits that post will see the change.

The reblogging of wrong information and the reblogging of posts begging for money were the two main things that turned me away from the site.

In each case, the reblogging is from the best of intentions, but damnit people, do some five second research before hitting reblog.

I can see why social justice warriors can easily be created in the unthinking crucible that is tumblr. Indignant posts complaining about sexist/racist behaviour can easily gather hundreds of thousands of notes, even though a little basic googling will show that the information presented is wrong.

There's no way to really comment on a mistaken post, either. I tried leaving comments under a few misguided ones but a) nobody sees my comments anyway b) everyone just reblogs the version with misinformation because it's more fun to be outraged c) I was just adding to the notes, making it look like even more people agreed.

Tumblr is a modern day version of those old chain letters, only worse.
