guys please im a twitter migrant what happened with that old dog sanctuary blog pls educate me
So there is a dog shelter(?) for senior dogs called Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. They had a couple social media pages, among them a tumblr page. They’d repost posts from their Facebook about the different dogs at the shelter, very cute stuff. This goes on for months, it gets popular bc people love dogs. One day the blog (entirely out of the blue) posts “I just want to get dicked down again =/” and then never posts again. Everyone involved was like hey what the fuck so they messaged the Facebook page and they were like hey is the person running your tumblr page okay they’ve been acting real weird, and the person running the Facebook page was like huh??? We don’t have a tumblr page????
gonna start making snopes-style responses to urban legends about tumblr
“this how we lost post editing and it was still worth it”
❌ False
The John Green Cock Monologue, while one of the most egregious examples of post editing, was not why the ability to edit posts was taken away. This feature was removed because scammers would edit posts with huge note counts to try to make their scams look legit.
Remember when nudity was allowed on here and people were doing dick rates for free? Imagine the chaos if we had polls. The first bracket posts might have been innocent, but dick tournaments would eventually dominate the league. Imagine having to remake because you could never live down the immediate defeat in the first round of a cock contest.
When you see a really good post but there’s some form of guilt tripping to reblog it added on at the end
(ID: A screenshot of Marge from the Simpsons looking dismally at the camera with one arm raised. A caption underneath her reads “It’s true, but I’m not reblogging it.” End ID)
Me:overall agrees with and is interested in post
Post: “But I bet you’re just gonna skip past this bc you don’t care 😒”
can’t express how much i despise that blazeability-by-others is opt-out rather than opt-in. maaaaaybe its immediately getting used for harassment will cause @staff to reconsider
And users giving the site money to do that might… make site experience worse, reducing user numbers and stickiness… reducing ad rates? What’s the mechanism here?
