People agree that Tumblr had a slow, painful, death as time evolves. I mean, tech people come on—Tumblr was everyone’s cup of tea before.
Tumblr is a micro-blogging and social networking site founded by David Carp in 2007 and is now being managed by Automaticc. It’s a multi-purpose network that is easy to use as you can put everything you want in it: photos, videos, gif, graphics, and animation.
The dashboard is like your timeline. You can follow Tumblr users based on your likes and preferences ranging from: animals, fashion, sports, photography, books, cinema, and lifestyle. From there, you can see various contents in different formats wherein you can inspiration and like them as well.
People used to compare Tumblr to Reddit because of its synonymous style build-up. But little did people know that Tumblr is the hippie style social media on the Internet while Reddit is a user-based one.
Reddit is more popular compared to Tumblr because of its specs that you can easily access compared to Tumblr with a different built, made for people who loves content creation.
But, have you ever considered Tumblr as your safe haven? Tumblr is personal, speaks about the person using about it and people treat it as their best friend.
Tumblr was there even before the rise of people getting addicted in Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Tumblr users say that Tumblr has its community wherein you can freely express yourself without judgment, also meeting from the different parts of the world and connect with them instantly.
In Tumblr, you can also reflect about your daily activities even without trying or worrying that someone’s gonna read it because here, you can pick your audience. You can stay anonymous as long as you want without them interfering in your business. That’s one beauty of it—being able to express without particular judgment.
For writers, this is the perfect place to lurk, learn, and write as much as you can as some communities provide prompts for you to utilize and explore your writing capabilities.
Other hobbyists or enthusiasts treat Tumblr as their sanctuary to express their emotions. This is perfect for introverts who are not very social in person but can make friends easily in the online world.
Tumblr at present remains in the peace and quiet side of social media while having a little trouble because of it’s latest update about banning adult contents or contents that are NSFW.
With this, we can say Tumblr reached the era where it stopped serving its purpose on the majority.
Never to worry, Tumblr accounts are still there. People can still browse on the vast expanse of their liking without having to lose their old and new accounts.
It’s a wonderful journey, to be honest. This site served people well and shaped all people’s creativity and imagination without limit—having the capacity to still interact and have followers.
With fast technology, many applications and sites developing this year and the years to come, people will remember how this site was once their turning point when they all wanted to be heard, when they all wanted to be seen.
