wow the dashboard looks fucking ugly now. Also kind of genuinely depressing to have -just- left twitter, coming to tumblr for a change of pace/a different environment and instantly having them make it twitter 2.0. @staff really got me feeling like leaving tumblr already
the sheer amount of negative space, the off-positioning of the Logo– what the goddamn
Frankly if you’re going to balance the hypothetical idea that you want to scrape new users by appropriating the UI of the sites they’re already on, you’re going to have to provide an option to opt-out. Between showing people’s likes on their mutual’s dashboards (please turn off your like visibility btw) and this, things are about to get wild (upleasant).
Oh p.s, you can leave reviews on the Tumblr App in the playstore and the Apple apps store… Thought I might mention that as well. The review section is there for a reason, after all.
it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit
why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to ‘home’ and 'following’ when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????
when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen’ as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users
why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!
no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished
dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity’ buttons that show up when you’re already on the activity page ever again
fat tummy peeking out from the bottom of someone’s shirt should receive the same appreciation that’s given to tasteful cleavage in a low-cut top or a little bit of asscheek poking out from tiny shorts. this would improve society
i made this post while thinking gay thoughts about my girlfriend’s fat tummy and didn’t expect it to take off, but i am very glad to see that the Has Excellent Taste community on this site is so large
this website’s moderation sucks ass and it has a terrible bot problem and there are an enormous amount of bugs but thankfully we have a staff team hard at work not addressing any of these but instead making shitty ui changes that nobody wants
@staff this is truly a basis for me to never open tumblr desktop again so if that was you guy’s aim congrats, you nailed it!!!! Now if you wanted to keep “what makes Tumblr unique” you have never failed better
“Instead of negotiating with us, Netflix decided to open an overpriced restaurant. Here’s what we did in front of it. Starring the incomparable Adam Lustick, with concept and props by WGA writer Shawn Wines.”
There is a constitutionally protected right for businesses to refuse service to minority groups as long as they can shoehorn the words “religion” and “free speech” into their justification
AND indiana’s Supreme Court blocked the abortion ban injunction so now Indiana has a now-total abortion ban in effect
AND Virginia banned porn. You cannot access “any description or representation of nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sadomasochistic abuse” unless your ID is collected and verified as being of an adult resident. We live in a theocracy <3
I’m kind of glad to hear that everyone does this. Because it means it isn’t colonizer bullshit, it’s what everyone does. It’s just people discovering new things. Everyone goes:
“Oh hey these people have their own style of [language A’s word for thing. Say, what do you call it?”
“Oh it’s [language B’s word for thing].”
“Got it, it’s [language B’s word for thing] variety [language A’s word for thing]”
added to which it is LITERALLY JUST LINGUISTIC SHORTHAND for
[item] the way [culture] makes it.
If you don’t want sliced bread, you want bread the way Eastern Indians make it you ask for Roti, not bread. Because Roti is bread THE WAY [EASTERN] INDIANS MAKE IT. Like fuck, it’s not that complicated a concept.
OF COURSE it’s not colonizer bullshit! It’s just linguistic shorthand!
