the thing about tumblr is that it’s techniquely a social media but at the same time it isn’t very…social. Like I remember in 2013 tumblr networks were a huge thing but almost all of them were on Facebook because tumblr didn’t have a messaging system other than asks/fan mail. Don’t get me wrong I made some friends on here but at the same time if you aren’t intentional you can spend weeks actively on tumblr without actually interacting with anyone?? Like it’s the most anonymous website without intending to be. Ngl I am mutuals with so many people and I could not tell you their names or what they look like without going to their blog and searching tags. And if people change their urls there isn’t even a chance of me remembering who they are lol. But at the same time I think that was kind of the draw because you can do and say almost anything without the shame you would have on Facebook or IG where you are a real person that people know. Like I had one post that was basically just fuck fuck goose and it got 700k notes??? Where would that get me anywhere else but weird looks and angry reacts on fb
