anomaletixRating this from a 2026, small-fandom-following-tab perspective. I think Tumblr gets a lot of unnecessary hate for the sins of its past. I was there, as a much younger anom, to observe the horror stories and muck that spewed out of the gates of the underworld through a YouTube red-colored lens. And for what it's worth, they're not particularly wrong. Even in modern day, I often get the hints of the drama-of-the-day whenever I dare choose to head outside my small little circle of groups I choose to partake in. It's a truly different world out there, I've observed. But, with a curated experience and a staunch opposition to anything that is titled "For You", I find this site to actually be quite pleasant. It's like Twitter if it was more focused on art instead of whatever Elon Musk's oily little hands are doing with it, and I can speak for everyone when I say that looking at art is, as the kids say, "pretty fun". So long as you stick to your part of the woods (and don't you *dare* stick your toes into the conflict zone that is semi-big Fandom Discourse) you will probably be able to pass a couple of lunchtimes here without much issue.
