- Resist the Twitterification of tumblr.
when god closes a door you reach your little paws under it and go mrrwwaaaooow mmreeaaow
you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here's how!
- click this link and go to the support page, then click "contact support"
- click on the category list and click on feedback
- now you need to tell staff WHY putting in an algorithm will cause the site to fucking die, and be sure to be detailed and not a dick in it. theyre not gonna listen to feedback calling them assholes
- viola, if @staff listens, we'll be fine
i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea
by the way, tumblr has turned off asks on all of their staff blogs, so this is the only way to tell tumblr how you feel
here it is again because uh. seems relevant.
everyone's saying it but yeah the new tumblr desktop layout is complete garbage lmao
yknow what i really can't fucking stand. how every social media now feels like it's designed for mobile first but then subsequently there is NO design for desktop and they just kinda slap a mobile interface onto a widescreen canvas and fill it with a solid color. like why is what feels like 60% of my dashboard just negative space on a 16:9 monitor. the entire thing is so fucking claustrophobic and just bunched together. use the space!!!! why are the timeline switcher tabs at the top of the screen getting cut off!!! you could fit all of them!!!
zooming in to like 110% makes it a LITTLE better but it's still way too much empty space on the sides that could be used so much more meaningfully, and then going any further than that just starts to literally cut off the content i actually want to see, like at a certain point in order to cut down on negative space i can only fit half of a post on screen if it's long enough. on a 4K monitor. i don't understand why so much modern website design conflates "compact" with "efficient". they are not mutually exclusive but they're also not synonyms!!! 16:9 will not hurt you!!!! some of my favorite stuff is in 16:9! like psychonauts 2! everyone wants to be psychonauts 2! what are you afraid of!!!
the thing is this dashboard change isnt the end of the world ill get used to it whatever im just fucking dying of embarrassment that its supposed to look like twitter
twitter gets run over by a bus and the next day tumblr comes 2 school wearing her clothes like. oh my god come on
