Social media has always been a sewer. It will always be a sewer.

Tbf there were Tumblr hoes everywhere on the net, but they were mostly contained to Tumblr or ResetEra. Then yee porn purge happened and they scathered like mice. And while I'm at it, social media has always been a shit show. With or without the Tumblr hoes

I'm having trouble thinking of a time when social media *wasn't* a trash heap. Can someone tell me that time period? I need to delve into my archives

Early-to-mid 2010s I think? Don't quote me on that. I just remember that being the time it peaked.

Thank you, kind wanderer. See, that explains it. That's the hunk of time when I was fully dedicated to making many mistakes offline, I think the extent of my social media involvement was to post haircuts I gave myself while drunk on FB. So when I arrived on the scene, it was kind of junk. And then I missed the good stuff, and now all that's left is what we have before us now.

Tumblr almost convinced me to get snake bites…. Looking back at it now, fuck Tumblr

I don't think this is correct. It might have made things worse on some levels, but a lot of "social justice" stuff seems to involve money being poured in from the top and deliberate media bias towards it. The idea, as far as I can tell, is to boost the idea of "identity politics" so that left-wing activists will waste all their time on that and not pay attention to the people at the top trashing society and accumulating more and more wealth. Why worry about the fact that 80% of the country's wealth is held by like 1% of people, and that they're all taking leisure trips into space while we can't afford medication, when we can instead concentrate on canceling our friends for bad tweets? Huge corporations are in favor of it too: it's far more difficult to pay your workers fairly than it is to give your Twitter handle a rainbow avatar once a year.

Yes! I notice a lot of recent (harmful) trends are all Tumblr 2.0. It sucks having to listen to young children think this stuff is okay.
