I hope Pillowfort and Dreamwidth become the preferred new homes of tumblrites in exile, because Instagram and Twitter are even worse for in-depth conversations than tumblr, and Discord seems kind of “secret club” clique-y.

... I sure care a lot for someone who has literally never had any kind of social media account or presence and has had the same email account since I was eleven. Is there a lifetime Anon Lurker Achievement Award?

The dumbest part of the tumblr meltdown according to the Vox article that's floating around is that one of their execs floated a plan to monetize and market Black Lives Matter.

AYRT—I’m just wondering if kicking fandom/kinksters/activists off a social media platform has ever allowed its parent company to reach more/new users than before fandom decamped, and if so, how long did/does the uptick generally last? I can’t think of any company that went “good news, everyone, we’re respectable now!” and had their userbase double, only ones that never quite made money hoping ditching the weirdos would stave off ruin.

It's not about increasing userbase, it's about decreasing risk

isn't Tumblr owned by, like, Verizon or something like that now?

Yep. It got bought out by Yahoo! who then got bought out by Verizon.

I'd make you an award, but I wouldn't know where to send it. XD

Until Pillowfort gets off of the .io domain, it's not going to be an alternate to Tumblr just because they legally can't host porn.

But I'd really love for fandom to filter back to Dreamwidth. I miss LJ and the communities, so it'd be awesome for fandom to head back in that direction.
