The Goncharov meme has exposed several really interesting things:

1) It highlights tumblr as actual social media based in community effort rather than status

2) It shows what tumblr as a whole values in media (in particular, queer representation, strong relationships between characters, emotional catharsis, and dichotomy of themes such as spending one's life building a legacy versus just living life)

3) Tumblr humor is based primarily in improv "yes and-ing" and commitment to the bit, and people will put 200% effort into pushing the bit even further if the bit keeps being fun

4) More than anything, people want to entertain each other, and being in a community that values entertaining others leads to incredible collaborative works of creativity that don't even feel like work to make

Hi you all! It’s been a while (again! 😅) Hope everything is going fine with you!!

Since I have some new followers coming all over from Twitter, this is a reminder that you can let me know if you need any content warning or trigger warning tagged to avoid it. I will do it gladly!! 🤗 I usually tag such things as “tw: insert word” or “cw: insert word” so that you know how to blacklist potentially triggering posts.

This is a multifandom blog. I mostly reblog posts but expect the occasional original post :) Hope you stay along for the ride! 🤗🤗🤗

there is no tumblr algorithm except for the fact that if you put 5 hours of work into a post it will get 20 notes but if you put five minutes into a post with no tags that's completely nonsensical it'll get 10k.

An algorithm is just a rule that social media sites use to decide what shows up on a user's feed.

On Tumblr, it's a bit of a misnomer to say that there's no algorithm. There is one! Implemented by you! Every time you reblog something you cause it to show up on your followers' feed - you're the algorithm. It's you.

the real algorithm is the friends we made along the way
