Yeah, same here.

I find it bizarre that the various other fandom communities I'm in, on LJ and Twitter and so on, are almost universally friendly and supportive and genuinely nice places to spend time, but the fandoms for the exact same shows on Tumblr just turn into huge piles of wank and end with a bunch of people yelling at each other, and sending anon hate, and hating on anyone with a different opinion to their own. Sometimes this is even the same exact people as in the other fandom communities.

There's just something about the format of Tumblr that leads to a kind of fandom that I, at least, don't find it fun to be a part of.

And that's fine.

I'm just sick of seeing people crap on Tumblr for the reasons that convinced me to I sign up. If people rejected the difficulty of finding interesting posts with or without tags, the ability to have discussions that don't splinter into a thousand different directions, or the impossibility of using a website that goes down every few days, I'd agree wholeheartedly. But when I read about how people hate Tumblr (Tumblr specifically, as if it was the only place where this showed up) because of the vocal minority of...certain people, I have to wonder if they go on the internet. Ever.

Or maybe you can accept that the community you belong to is obnoxious and cancerous enough to have people hating on it, and with good reasons.

Re: Thank you, F!S, for proving OP's point

Every community has a group of people like that, and they're usually what people see. If you haven't noticed one, you're probably part of it. The fact that you left this comment at all is also a hint.

If people rejected the difficulty of finding interesting posts with or without tags, the ability to have discussions that don't splinter into a thousand different directions [...] I'd agree wholeheartedly.

Late response is late, but yeah. Whenever I complain about tumblr it's always about these two things.

Well, I'm still up, so you're not that late.

Yes, Tumblr's format...there are so many posts that I want to go back and edit. Tumblr is so far from perfect, and I realize I ended up trying to make it sound like it was.

The way tumblr handles edits and original posts vs copying the data is so weird.

Like half the time the entire text post/original image URLs get copied over, so later edits are impossible. And the other time I find an interesting thread (okay, they're not really 'threads' but I don't know what else to call them), but the original comments that started the whole thing have been collapsed and when I click on their source to read the whole thing from the beginning, they've either deleted or swapped their blog name and I'm totally lost.

I do enjoy tumblr, but 99% of my complaints are definitely about weird structural things. And being a web developer I don't know whether it makes them more frustrating to me or less, because some I'm like "okay I can see where they'd run into issues" and others are just like "OMG BASIC, EASY-TO-USE LAYOUT FOR SEARCHING MULTIPLE TAGS IS NOT THAT FUCKING DIFFICULT".
