who else is 900% done with tumblr?

HTTrack got mentioned earlier.

 

hm yeah jeez I don't post on tumblr much at all anymore but until I signed up here i had nowhere else i felt i could talk about random stuff without being a nuisance? i have a dreamwidth, i think its Erythrismal. i probably dont have a soup but i will try to claim my usual username in the next couple days.

but like i have 3 mutuals on tumblr and i guess if it goes down we'll just fall out of contact? i mean well there are two who know each other from before i followed either of them so they probably have each other on skype or something but I'm gonna be like "lol bye i guess??"

 

too much of my social interaction is on tumblr

like

i hate the blue hellscape but at the same time i need people and to talk to people and like 95% of my friends are on tumblr because i can't go out and meet up with people so the internet is really my only connection to friends. if my friends mass migrate i'd move too but until then... me and the blue hellscape are bound for life

 

ok how do I explain to soup that I don't want to see sketches of sonic characters with gigantic breasts

 

Guess who just got the autoplaying ad despite having the XKit extension!
(It's me.)

 

this is why I haven't been on my dash since I heard this was happening

 

I abandoned Tumblr for good after I broke up with my ex- we met there and too much of my blog was tied up with them and I'd been on hiatus anyway because it was already a shithole- and I didn't feel like I needed to take anything with me and now i'm like
shit Roma Sub Porta half of that got lost when i had a backup corruption episode and i didn't bother to go back through everything and paste it into documents because I could just link back to my Tumblr but
I should have backups
Is there any way to just... import Only One Tag? on either soup or wordpress or whatever? i tagged everything for RSP pretty reliably and there's p much nothing else worth keeping that I can't get elsewhere

 

I don't see myself leaving tumblr anytime soon, but I've definitely started branching out to other social media. Mainly on Twitter, and most recently this website. I ought to look into backing up/transferring my tumblr blog posts to other sources anyways though. Won't hurt to do. I've been on there so many years that I would want to keep old posts in case I want to look back at them all.

 

Hmm... it would probably be worth backing up my tumblrs. Heck, my quidditch blog is probably a part of quidditch history now, if I think about it, I definitely don't want to lose that.

Maybe I'll dabble in the other sites and see if any suit me. I've been wanting to get a side tumblr for only my art as well, so this could be handy anyways.

 

I don't worry about tumblr poofing any time soon, just becoming unusable for me. Flashing things are REALLY bad, and sudden sounds become intolerable rapidly.

 

Yeah, I'm not worried on tumblr disappearing, but it looks like the latest announcement is the spark for the mass migration.

 

FYI to everyone avoiding tumblr because of surprise music. New-Xkit has released a new version of their anti-capitalism app, and as far as I can tell, the random-ass music has finally stopped.

Just make sure that the app is at version 1.3.1 (yesterday it was 1.3.0)

 

I Soup-de-whoop'd

 

i haven't really posted anything outside of the intro thread b/c i'm still getting the hang of this forum thing (and i'm a bit of a lurker), but does anyone know if wordpress will simply stop importing your tumblr if it's too massive? mine's been stuck on like 4000-something out of 21000+ posts for a while now, but it still says it's "in progress." i *did* take a break from wordpress for a while, so that could be affecting it? but i'm not sure.

i would consider using httrack, but i'm worried it'll eat up too much space on my hard drive (five years' worth of posts is kind of a lot).

 

Apparently Soup groups exist.
I made a thing.

(EDIT: I don't know how you change stuff and when you'd need the password, but just so you guys know, if it ever asks, the group password is "900percentdone")

 

looks like you have to approve requests? idk

 

I made it like that just to start off... but I didn't get any requests?

 

weird. i thought i requested to join?

 

So you did. Apparently I don't get notified and have to check in group settings manually.

 

When tumblr decided to purge a shit ton of people by making them log back in I was essentially locked out because the email I used to make the tumblr is dead now and fuck if I passwords ever. I sent an email requesting aid and giving them my new email but that basically hit a wall and bounced back, and then I realized--what the fuck am I trying to get back onto tumblr for?

I decided it was a sign and stopped trying to get back into my account, I just occasionally check blogs I really like and consider the rest a fair lost. Most everyone from tumblr I wanted to keep track of is over here tbh. It has become abundantly clear that that was a good choice. It was a frustrating site to wrestle with and though I wish I could like posts or occasionally drop messages under my own name... that is not nearly enough motivation to make me make a new tumblr.

I'm glad to know that it's continuing to painfully devolve into something completely unusable but sad for your sakes.
