I'm fed up with Tumblr. This isn't news. I'm finally fed up enough that I might actually mean it seriously when I say I'm going to pick up my entire life and move it. I have a significant amount of followers, but the only blogs I follow are my own, and I put out more original content than I do reblogging other people. Besides Tumblr, the sites I've been on have been Livejournal and... *gulp* Xanga, way back circa 2006 when it was still a thing that we did. Livejournal actually has some really awesome communities going on, and I understand why there was an exodus but I think I was already gone by that point plus not involved with the drama. The places I've been thinking of moving to are Medium, Ello, Inkwell, and (back to) Livejournal. Jesus, staff, all I want is Tumblr functionality from circa 2012 back. This new UI isn't just ugly, it's forcing my (brand new) MacBook Air to run at approximately the speed of smell while Chrome struggles to reblog a single post for 45 seconds. If your code is that scrambled that I cannot use the basic functionality of the site, something is wrong. Any recommendations? (Anyone else as fed up as I am?)
I just had to restart Firefox. Fucking update didn't just bork my dash, it borked my entire browser. I... just don't want to lose my fucking content. Goddamn it. Three years of my fucking life you're talking about, dammit.
@Lizardlicks already made a topic about this in Imported Drama, but if people want to access this thread to keep it public that's fine too
y'know, i should, but i'm also unemployed and my most regular posts are playing in other people's sandboxes (read: infringing copyright through fanfiction), so this is actually a good model though, i think avenier uses wordpress or a platform like it so it's not totally unheard of
I've had a Blogger blog since 2008 and so far they haven't done anything to annoy me the way Tumblr updates do. Caveats: it's less sociable as Tumblr and it is owned by Google. I don't mind, personally, but I guess these could be bigger issues for other people.
I have a blogger and a Wordpress and Blogger is a little cleaner on the back end but not as customizable: Wordpress I think would work well for you for content generation, and I think they've added some tuff that lets reblogging-type things be a thing.
