who else is 900% done with tumblr?

oh, hey, @jacktrash could we get This linked in the op post? If its not too much trouble, its just to help people find each other on the new blogging platform(s).

 

I strongly dislike soup's lack of tagging functionality on reblogs. You can either reblog the post or tag it and have a link to it show up with... nothing... but... the tags... and I Hate.

 

One of soup's features I'm liking is you can look at your own dash, or a group's dash, or all your friends postings, or the postings of friends of friends, or the posting of people following you, or "everybody" with simple clicks from the top menu.

 

yea, they seem to listen to their userbase though, so if we request that feature, they might add it. More likely to than tumblr at any rate.

 

If they add that I might be enticed to join. But as it stands, the complete LACK of ability to tag reblogs OR have conversations means I'll be sticking with imzy for the foreseeable future.

At least tumblr can't force me to update my mobile app...

 

+ motherfucking 1. If Soup just adds tags to reblogs, then I'll be content switching over to it. Or the option to simultaneously do a reaction and reblog. But right now it's frustrating to me.

eta Times like this I regret not being a coder, because Soup could use the Xkit types of tools.... :'(

 

At this point i'm really tempted to learn coding and make my own tumblr alternative. if all of us learned it, we could make an awesome one.

 

Yeah, Soup definitely seems better for the reblog type culture we'd need to replace Tumblr. I also wish that there were better tools to customize one's own soup, too :/

 

It's customizable (look at the disaster I made, for example) but not as much as tumblr, and the tool is clunky.

 

Yeah, I edited mine, but frankly the tool and product make me twitch.

 

Soup works exactly as I like for reblogging and such, but is no good for conversations. Still, it's the most viable option I've found, and I'm enjoying it so far.

EDIT: Just logged on to Tumblr and got a foghorn playing LOUDLY through my speakers which I left plugged in after watching very quiet Youtube videos last night. Go fellate a cactus, Tumblr. Seriously, what the fuck are you on that makes that seem like a good idea?

 

staff hates most of tumblr, and doesn't like working for yahoo maybe?

 

Got my first Ad. Time to make some soup, I guess, because FUCK that noise. I couldn't even find the ad to turn it off.

edit: made soup, accidentally made it "commercial" how do I make it not that oops

 

Same hat. I sent them an email; hopefully they can do something?

Mine is aceyyy, btw.

 

they said that one can email them to become tagged as a commercial blog, so presumably they can fix it the other way, too?

So, uh. Has anyone else experienced audio ads on individual blogs, rather than the dashboard? I have no idea why someone's blog started playing christmas music at me, but I flailed and shut the tab rather than double-checking if there were any videos on their page that might have been the cause instead, though I'm pretty sure there weren't

it only lasted about three seconds, but it was awful, I thought I was safe

 

Tumblr has added adverts to everyone's pages unless the person goes into settings and turns them off
