who else is 900% done with tumblr?

Thanks to the brave souls of the Soup Expedition, I now feel much better about finally cutting loose from Tumblr. I'm gonna spend some time over the next week obliterating 90% of my archives and then moving the stuff that's worth keeping to WordPress. I might try Soup, but I'm thinking my head might be clearer without it. Less ultimately useless data flooding my brain.

 

Wordpress: "What is your blog about?"
Me: "Shitposts and memes. No? Okay then... fandom..... nope. Okay then. FOLLOWING RANDOM PEOPLE BECAUSE I LIKE WHAT THEY REBLOG. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THAT'S NOT AN OPTION?!"

 

*looks at my tumblr* Is there anything WORTH saving here?

...okay, I guess I would like to save some photos and personal posts. :/ I think I might dive through my entire blog and just. Delete the things I don't want to save, then transfer the rest.

I'll make a Wordpress, and probably a soup? Time to figure out new sites.

I'll be using tumblr until it becomes unusable for me, though. I'm on mobile, no sound ads there so far.

 

Yeah, I want my personal posts. Turns out there are a lot more of them than I thought there were. Probably good info in there on my brain stuff and personal history.

 

Time to think of a name for my wordpress, since Shingleback is apparently not something you can register? *shrug*

 

Okay I'm clearly not understanding a fundamental feature of how people use Tumblr, even after 3 years. Like, to me, it's all "reblog reblog reblog reblog-tag comment reblog reblog Oh hey an original idea! ....0 notes, as expected. Anyway... reblog reblog comment-reblog..."

I want to keep everything! And I want to keep all my original additions to posts (I'm very proud of that one final line in the meme mashup all star song for instance) And I want to keep all my personal posts, and I want to separate them.
And I also like it when someone randomly reblogs a post that I reblogged a year ago.
I don't wanna delete my Tumblr :(

 

Yeah, I've got no intention of deleting. Just trying out backup plans in case of Yahoo.

The word press back up is crawling and I cry. 1700 out of 10000 so far.......

Soup has a way of seeing what "everyone" posts, not sure how that page content is chosen, or if there's a way to search tags, or anything. :/

 

Well we want to hear about your cat!!

 

I'm palindromordnilap on soup.io. I think I already have a wordpress account, but I think I should probably make a new one.

 

@Lissa Lysik'an it's entirely possible I haven't turned on the option to be friends. I'll poke around and see if i can add you from my end.

 

I made a soup, it's Shingleback. There is nothing there, except a post saying that I took the name.

I'm still waffling over what to call my Wordpress.

 

Guys, seriously, what do I put for Wordpress?

 

I'm not good at making new names for me so I always use either Lysikan, LissaLysikan, or Lissa_Lysikan. (The one with the space is because some bot grabbed my name and a few million others from various sites and auto-registered them on twitter. Twitter bans the name when they find it was bot generated rather than let you take it back.)

 

Aaaand now I can't get onto it .-. rude.

eta: please imagine the 'I'M AT SOUP!!!' but it's me yelling 'I'M NOT AT SOUP!!!' and mashing the keyboard

 

Turns out I can just change the username and email. I'm protectorofthecute on wordpress.

 

Apparently, importing my 19166 posts on both takes a while. :p

 

I'm with you, Evilas. There's no way in hell I'm gonna delete my tumblr unless my life does a 180 and I join a commune out in the woods. I sort and categorize everything with tags, and without the tags, there's too much to be useful. How would I ever find anything? 90% of my blog is reblogs.

Deleting tumblr and importing to a new platform is probably going to work better for people who make lots of original text posts.

 

does anyone have a suggestion for a backup tool that works with PCs? I was gonna give sitesucker a shot but it looks like it's mac only.
