Who's ready for the massive wave of danger hairs flooding to other websites to cry about feels and oppression?
I doubt most websites would be willing to coddle their bullshit, but given the fact that Facebook, Twitter, and Livejournal are known for harvesting SJWs, it wouldn't be entirely impossible.
 

considering tumblr's existing reputation being circled around already, i didn't expect anything less. tumblr's never been known for particularly stable or well thought-out changes.
- Doesn't recommend
- Negative outlook
- Disapproves of CEO

I worked at Tumblr full-time (More than a year)

Pros
- Lots of free food, parties and alcohol. If you're a "bro" then you'll have a great time.

Cons

- Tumblr is run on a tangled mess of homegrown tools, horrendously fragile code and the worst engineering practices I've ever seen from any company. There is no QA, code reviews aren't taken seriously, anyone can commit to master and push their code to production at any time. The entire development process can best be described as institutionalized cowboy coding.

- Brogramming is real and Tumblr exemplifies it. It was the norm for bros to knowingly push buggy, incomplete, untested code into production after a few rounds of drinks then leave the problems for others while they moved onto another project.

- Engineering management is filled with dead weight who have been loyal and stuck around long enough. They aren't qualified to lead teams, they have horrendous technical knowledge and do absolutely nothing to help grow the careers of their subordinates.

- Every position from VPs down to engineers are a revolving door, every week at least one person quits and the one thing that the people who quit have in common is that they were very good at their jobs. I can safely say that if you see someone has been at Tumblr more than six months they are looking for a new job; if they are there for two years or more they are probably incompetent. Absolutely no one who has options stays at Tumblr.

- New employees, no matter how experienced, are treated like they are complete idiots. Recently, I watched someone who had more experience than everyone on his team quit out of frustration. His manager told other people that he was useless and contributed nothing. What the manager didn't realize was the same person he called useless had accepted a more senior role at Google.

they have the most incompetent tech staff ever.

Does anyone else remember when you could edit anything you quoted in tumblr, including the OP? It was that way for years. young adult author John Green had his post edited, replaced with a lengthly essay on how much he likes balls, which was reblogged way more than anything he actually wrote on his tumblr. only then did tumblr fix it. And they broke a bunch of other shit with that fix. Block used to just mute the other person, but you could still see them reblogging you. Replies went away for so reason. Etc etc.

tbh John Green probably deserved it
 
the rabbit hole goes a lot deeper then you would expect and blogs with illegal content have a weblike structure.

For example: one blog will host a shit ton of cp and send a few other people the links who will then post it on their own private blogs and reupload it, so even if someone who has access to it turns them in, the cp will already have spread to swaths of other blogs.

What Tumblr needs to do is track brand new accounts that post a shit ton of stuff on a private blogs AND put an algorithm in place to flag certain Images, file data, and the thumbnails and audio on videos that resembles those found in cp videos in the past like google images does.(though it’ll never admit to it)

However putting something into place like that requires work and effort, and why would big tech companies do that when they could roll out 1000 shitty UI updates every year instead?

Is there any mircoblogging sites like tumblr but not so shitty?
Short answer: no

Long answer: Tumblr is kinda weird in that it’s trying to be several different websites at once and has never really stuck with one thing - hence it’s schizophrenic identity as a company and the large amount of clashing between user groups - so finding an exact alternative is kind of a lost cause. You kinda just have to think of the the handful of features you used the most and settle for something similar. If you’re looking to write long blog posts/essays, for instance, word press is your best bet. If you were using it for art, probably Instagram, Deviant Art, Art Station, or Behance. If you just wanna give random blurbs about your day and instantly share shit, Twitter I guess is the closest. But if you want something that does all those things then you’re SOL because Tumblr can barely keep itself afloat and all the crowdfunded Tumblr Clones sank 10 feet from the dock.
 
:powerlevel: As someone with a bit of inside knowledge on this, the rabbit hole goes a lot deeper then you would expect and cp blogs have a weblike structure.:powerlevel:

In an attempt to fix this, tumblr has been banning and terminating completely random blogs as well. Whatever bot they had in place to delete the porn ones hit more actual users than anything.

Classic tumblr.
 
Are you telling me that the feds havent done anything about tumblrs cp problem for years?
Jesus christ
They haven't done shit about tumblr allowing minors on a website that forces you to view pornography when you join (the porn bots have explicit avatars and if you hover on their name to block them it brings up a preview of their tumblr, usually with gifs). They deserve to be sued by parents.
