here’s why vine was and will always be superior to tiktok you can’t really spread a lot of misinfo in 6 seconds you had to go viral on the strength of your humor and not on the allure of insane conspiracy theories or MRA talking points it’s why vines legacy will be shit like “back at it at krispy kreme” and not the downfall of democracy

To be clear I am not denying that vines was superior.

But if you think tiktok is the downfall of democracy you’re either not paying attention or on the WRONG side of tiktok. There are tons of people over there dedicated to making sure the masses have access to accurate information, exposing corruption, and organizing against fascism. Tiktok is not the problem. For every bad actor there’s a good one and as we like to say here at the tumblr dot com: curate your experience.

Reading comprehension quiz (unit 2):

  1. Please summarize the argument of original post in your own words. Is the main point of the post about democracy, or something else? What other issues might the the author be trying to address?
  2. Define hyperbole. Why might the author deploy this rhetorical device here? What features of Tumblr may have encouraged this style of post?
  3. How can algorithms disincentivize or prevent users from fully controlling their experience on social media platforms such as TikTok? How might the architecture of these platforms —including longer-form video options — facilitate radicalization or fringe beliefs? (See Becker, A. (2021, August 24).

officially decided that anyone who tries to divide the lgbt community is a fed. i dont care if you’re not actually a fed, if you’re causing infighting in a minority community then you’re a fed who just isnt getting paid to be one. either apply for a job at the CIA or shut the fuck up

some people understood this post. some people revealed themselves to be feds

#except panse– no shut up.#except asexu– no shut up#youre a fed. a fed whos learned how to talk like a tumblrina#coming back to this because it makes me so mad. it always happens. theres a cycle to it of which posts get deemed okay and funny#quipping snotty pathetic little comments at the designated ‘cringe gender cringe sexuality’ like youre some kind of tumblr funnyman#when you all fucking sound the same. all the discourse buzzwords were hand selected for you by a person even meaner and slimier than you#youre a truscum and you dont like terfs? actually terfs are your best friends#youre a wounded person. wounded from people you cant hurt in return#and youre frothing. foaming at the mouth. to find someone who CAN be hurt by you. it feels good to be the bully for once  hey @seafoamplant​ I hope you don’t mind me borrowing your tags bc you fuckin NAILED it

Reblogging this because I still see people starting shit about mspec gays/lesbians unironically and y'all thats the same thing too.

Exclusion of good faith identities will never accomplish anything good and if you argue like a terf, you’re basically a terf.

what the fuck

querched up white boy

i don’t have screenshots, but one time i typed the word “table” into google docs in the process of writing my story, and google docs carefully underlined the first four letters (“tabl”), and asked me if perhaps i’d meant to write “table”

yes, google docs, that would be why i’d written “table”

out of curiosity i accepted the change. the word now read “tablee”

This is Extremely Funny, and also, an excellent point about the alternatives to centralized production that exist now, which weren’t as readily available or widely popular last time.

Video games, subscribing directly to creators, etc are all way easier now than in 2008.

The studios seem to think they have enough leverage to outlast this strike,but that’s absurd in a world where we’ve been watching them cancel popular, well written shows for only making a huge profit and being wildly popular, instead of making All The Profit Ever and hypnotizing an entire population into slavering obsession.

But they have poor reputations, about to get poorer thanks to social media, and alternative entertainments are more widespread than ever.

I hope WGA gets everything they ask for and more.

Adding this to the “coming back later after I finish my current book” pile. Because I have thoughts.

If animal crossing can carry so many people through the hardest part of quarantine, TOTK doesn’t even have to be good to keep me more entertained than whatever sack of shit they’re gonna pump out without unioned writers.

I hope the strike hits the studios so hard that they humiliate themselves before the public. I hope in their attempt to outlast the strike, they prove unequivocally that scab labor is no substitute for the real thing. I hope that the shit they produce for consumers is treated with such contempt and disgust, that the studios end up crawling back to the negotiation table with their tails between their legs. And I hope the WGA says “This strike has been illuminating for everyone involved. Our demands have doubled, and this time you will agree to them.”
