More muttering about Tumblr
One thing I find immensely helpful about Tumblr is, in the dashboard and uhhh I think one blog theme the one that every new account has by default lately, you can press J or K to go down a post or up a post respectively. This is so useful, whether to skip a long post I'm not interested in (or have seen already) or to quickly skim a bunch of posts when I'm looking for Something but I can't remember enough to tell what if any tags it had, that I wish other sites had it. Pretty please! Tumblr dot hell is a trashfire but these keyboard shortcuts are so useful ok
Because I care entirely too much about things like this: I installed the XKit extension "Alternative Timestamps", which causes dashboard posts to have timestamps both absolute ("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm") and relative ("X [minutes/hours/days/etc] ago"), and then went allllllll the way back to the first post with a timestamp on December 17th. Subtracting the 5 pages of December 18th posts so far, there were 21 pages (210 posts) of posts for the entirety of December 17th in my timezone (EST); this is more what I expect of not checking Tumblr for 8 hours on a typical day, and even then it's on the low end.
I have no idea if my Tumblr circle was disproportionately likely to boycott the blue hellsite, but it's plausible; I'm in a very fandom-heavy circle, and I have heard tell that there are rather a lot of people who use Tumblr for like, not fandom. Well, the nature fandom, I guess, but not, like, media fandom. The parts of Tumblr I do not intersect with are alien to me. But I would be deeply interested in how much of a dip Tumblr's traffic took yesterday.
