Death to tumblr is coming oh too soon. Ugh.

I was just venting about this to Tol a little while ago.
I don't want a replacement where everything is sex, I've worked really hard to make my blog a nice mix...
Ugh.
I'm really bummed about it.

Also I wish fet wasn't black screen with white text. It hurts my eyes after 5 minutes and I can't read things for long.

Are you looking at MeWe as a viable replacement option? :confused:
 
A dilemma:

So, the thing about Lit is that the only time you see people is when they post pics. Which can be carefully shot, filtered or edited to make them look better. But...

It still feels weird commenting on people's pics. It's too easy to throw around effusive praise, which makes it feel just kind of tawdry to use. And I try to keep my comments on the photo, the artistry and such. Not to objectify if possible, even if they're posting something revealing or sexy. But it still feels awkward, and too hard to convey honest admiration of physical beauty or artistry with the limited vocabulary available to me.

And that's before the very occassional moment when you open a pic, your jaw drops, your brain melts and you just can't fully process what you're seeing. There is one poster here that does that to me almost every time. It's not a crush. I'm not lusting for her and I don't want to fuck her, or play with her. She's just simply beautiful. But saying that, even when it's honest and not meant as an approach or a pass, feels off. If I try to measure my response it feels false. Insincere. But if I say what my brain thinks, it feels hyperbolic and over the top.

I feel like this is a me problem, rather than a Lit problem. But I've yet to work out a solution.
 
IDK I downloaded it but haven't opened an account yet. I'd like to hear from someone else whose using it to see what they think.

I had seen it as a possible alternative to facebook, but didn't think about it as a replacement for tumblr. I don't think there's anything that will be like tumblr yet.

Here's an article I read today.

It's pretty amazing that Tumblr was just out there for free for so long. I've wasted countless hours there. IMHO, now that it's owned by Verizon it's not surprising that the NSFW aspect is being shut down. Verizon is profit-oriented and Tumblr is not a revenue generating app. (Remember when they were putting all the ads between the porn images? That didn't last long.) Because of Verizon's having fingers in internet delivery and cell communications, they need to have a squeaky-clean image - I mean you never know when they might have to have a merger approved by the Republicans or something.

Is that why they're doing this? I don't have a finger in the tumblr pie, I hadn't realized they had been purchased.

Learn something everyday. Thanks AF
 
I hadn’t, should I be?

I was following a pretty good mix and had a fair amount of artsy non sexual content as well. And most of the sexually explicit stuff was super classy. Except for a select few.
I am looking for a viable replacement roo.

I understand the why... though I think they should have just switched to a revenue based system. I'd have been happy to pay to keep the content.
I'm still not happy about it.

Yep. Samesies.
I'll keep you in the loop if I find something, do the same? :)

Also I'm probably not going to shut mine down, there's little on there that would be a violation... so do I follow you? :D

I had an account there, I think I still might, but it's more of an alternative to Facebook. I didn't like putting pictures on Facebook of my kids and they get stolen or show up in a Google Search, so I tried it.

Meh. I simply don't post my kid's pictures anymore.
 
Thank you very much, you are very kind and a true Lady of the finest caliber

Until she disagrees with you, then you'll call her names, talk shit about her and make stuff up like you do to the people close to me. Cause you're a bully.
You'll also insert your unwanted two cents into conversations that have nothing to do with you like i just did here.

Yeah. You think I'm gonna let your bullshit skate? Nope.

Tell me something I made up about your friends and be specific.

I am known for a lot of things, but lying isn't one of them.


Show evidence, not emotional accusations



I have women on here of high moral caliber, that I've known for years and we're still talking.



Now you want to chase me down, who's the bully?



Show evidence and tell me what supoosed lie I said about whatever friend you have.

You started by saying they were lie. Blatantly false.

So you say.... but you told people Indie was making posts about you, when I know the posts weren't. Oh look. More lies.


Show evidence, not emotional accusations
You are the one that said people aren't allowed to show conversations. Plus you are so irrelevant to my life that I would never have saved a convo from you

Oh look... more fucking judging of people's "moral caliber"
Shut the fuck up.

I didn't have to. You posted publicly. Like other people do..and you find it acceptable to be nasty to them. Don't like the same game? #sosadtoobad

See above dipshit. Apparently you can't grasp irony and/or sarcasm either. :rolleyes:
