I love that tumblr humour is always so recognisable. It doesn’t matter which social media you see it on, it’s immediately obvious, whether or not op has ever been a part of the tumblr society. Tumblr humour is hilarious either in a wheezing-your-lungs-out way or straight face way. It’s ingenious. And it’s always weird as fuck. But it’s the best type out there, tbh.
I’ve said it before, I’m gonna say it a thousand more times, I find it so freaking funny that aesthetic tm insta profiles just post tumblr text posts…like where would y’all be without us? Tumblr is the only place on the internet where you can still be as honest as you want to…….the only real social media left. Our favourite hellsite
I love that Tumblr is actually a community. Your blog will be quite poor and boring if you only post your own stuff. Most of our blogs contain countless reblogs and discussions with other people on the website. This is communication and appreciation of each other’s creativity, thoughts, sketches and etc. It’s one thing to mindlessly like tons of photos a day like TikTok and Instagram offer you, and another to reblog and add hashtags and some comments about how the post made you feel or what you think you could add to a joke, a headcanon, an au, a story, an art… It makes this hellsite feel genuine.
In addition: Tumblr is so much more appealing to many of us than other media, especially Instagram, because this is actually a social app. A place where you communicate. Hve you seen those dudes on Insta? They don’t just talk or share their interests, that’s some old 2015 shit. They chase followers and strive for more and more likes because a lot of them depend on it. Instagram is literally their job, their business, their only source of money. And that absolutely ruins all the fun. On Tumblr…boy we are just thousands of crackheads who sob over favourite characters, post pretty pictures, argue for hours about nonexistent people and write embarrassing text posts that look like they belong to goblins. See the superiority?
