I had a convo earlier today w/ my friends and its got me thinking: would I actually survive if Tumblr went to shit? Like it's already on the downhill with it's piece of shit CEO, but if I had to jump ship, would that devastate me?
In most regards I think I'd be fine, because with my personal art and writing I don't post it anywhere public aside from my website. I do however have a fandom sideblog with a small following and if Tumblr fully went to shit I'd probably be a little affected. There are some faces I've come to recognize and it'd hurt me not knowing where else to find those folks ú.ù
The thought of where else to go is also difficult. Other platforms that I'm aware of (like Mastodon, BlueSky) seem to be more focused on shorter posts which I'm somewhat weary of. The patient (me) needs long posts to live. Like there are short posts on Tumblr, sure, but I'm the one makin' lengthy posts (on the rare occassion I do be posting)
I will also note I *am* aware of Wafrn, which of all the alternatives I'm aware of is most like Tumblr. I have a Wafrn account, though if I had to jump ship Wafrn may still take some getting used to. Wafrn is connected to the fediverse, which is nice for connecting with Mastodon users. However, I have no idea what the fandom scene is like over there. Wafrn itself is also a bit rough around the edges, what with it -
coming out around 3 years ago. Some functionalities are also missing compared to Tumblr (lack of sideblogs, lack of tag following, lack of image arrangement options). For image arrangement, I know that it's a limitation that can't be helped because Wafrn is a part of the fediverse (and images are always displayed at the bottom of a post, as opposed to being found anywhere on a post like on Tumblr).
