Theres a lot of crossover these days. I remember the big tumblr migration last year when the new reddit update dropped. I ended up crawling back to reddit eventually but im sure a lot of people did end up becoming tumblr purists
While I can definitely see the reddit vibe, it's still clearly at least trying to sound like tumblr. It gives the impression to me of a redditor who has seen plenty of tumblr screenshots but is only recently migrating.
Subject 22:
First successful instance of a tumblrina-redditor hybrid. Testing seems to indicate that standard tumblrina reject subject, having identifiying them as a redditor. Redditors observing the scene have noticed subject is unusual, though it is unclear whether they will outright reject the subject or not. More testing required.
That explains a lot. If you're in any fandoms, try following some people who blog about it or searching "\[fandom\] meta." Speaking from over 10 years of experience on the site, you will find essays about the thing you're looking into eventually. They won't necessarily be *good* essays, but there'll be essays nonetheless lol.
If you migrate to the right parts of reddit you'll hear plenty of delightfully carnal screeching.
There's also plenty of shitposts if you know where to look.
If Microsoft brought back MSN Messenger they'd probably recapture the market by millennial nostalgia, the inertia of them moving back in would drag the rest of the market with them. But knowing Microsoft they'd probably fuck it up and add in Teams integration or mandatory LinkedIn profiles.
I speak, think, write, type, etc in monologs
You ask me a question that has to do with anything at all about my personality or habits, and I have a novel for you. No matter how minor. I can describe my exact thought process for every movement
I'm insane and my friends have to deal with it, put me out of their misery
Not a question for me but you have no clue how much I hate buying shoes. I am size 16 1/2 and they don't make them unless you custom ask for them which makes it more expensive so I have to chose between slightly tight 16 and slightly loose 17 if I want to have affordable shoes. They aren't also sold in any store unless you a are willing to drop 1000$+ on shoes and I'm not so I have to surd for reviews and brands that actually give size 17s or 16s and won't cost me half an arm
This sounds so annoying to deal with. Jsyk I have absorbed this info now and will very likely use it to write a fluffy fanfic someday in which a person with big feet falls in love with a shoemaker hobbyist. And I hope you meet someone like that in real life.
I haven't bought a pair of shoes in over 2 years, since my sister gave me hoka running shoes for Christmas 2022. She's a nurse and says they're really good for your feet, but expensive as hell
All my shoes from prior years still fit, and the only ones I've ever worn enough to wear out are running shoes, so as long as I have a pair of those, I don't buy shoes
I think I'll buy a pair of hokas in a few months. The old ones are getting worn down
I've also moved 9 times by the time I turned 22 (I'm now 27), so I have no stable place I go for shoes. I think I've bought 1 pair of shoes since moving to my current spot
I bought a sweater for myself without checking the size and got it home and it was too small. It retails for $99 but I bought it at TJ Maxx for $20. I was disappointed and I didn't have the receipt so I sent it to my internet friend.
She said, hey, I got the sweater! What's the story here? Because she knew there was gonna be a story. The poor woman.
**Redditors** like to hear themselves talk? I think only a small percentage of tumblr blogs *aren’t* run by English majors/fanfic high schoolers/theater kids/etc.
We’re online because we **all** like the smell of our own bull. We just have different linguistic ways of differentiating in-groups and out-groups
The smart kid at my school who wore a tweed suit, burned an hourglass tattoo into his hand, then got expelled in senior year for strangling in english class
Tumblr users complaining about how Redditors are terrible has to be some of the most blatant hypocrisy I have ever seen
Bro could not recognize themselves in a mirror
you can easily tell who's a redditor cus they'll endlessly complain about stupid shit.
you can easily tell who's a tumblrite cus they'll endlessly complain about redditors.
also that title couldn't possibly be more ironic lol
>because they're also the kind of person to hear themselves talk.
Glass houses and stones when we're talking about Tumblr where people will go into a several thousand word rant about how Pokemon is transphobic and problematic according to Althusser stuff like that.
Have you Been to Tumblr since 2013??
It’s mostly shitposts, aesthetics and art sharing. That whole SJW stereotype was always exaggerated in its prevalence.
That side of Tumblr has been very effectively quarantined. Can't find it unless you try these days.
Meanwhile on Reddit, I'm half expecting this very comment to get "uhm acktually'd"
Edit: This comment did, in fact, get "uhm acktually'd" 😂
True. I really wish that stereotype would fuckin die already. Anytime I say “Huh, that scene’s kinda iffy” I get jumped on by people who think “problematic” equals “should not exist/moral hardline/irredeemable”
because like, 4 people have that attitude and now every person who cares about what media normalizes is automatically some hyper-sanitary caricature.
Do they get posted??? I check the sub pretty regularly and rarely see anybody being unreasonable or bullheaded like the SJW stereotype.
“Idiots exist on a social media platform.”
More at 11.
This all kicked off from someone pointing out "they're also the kind of person who likes to hear themselves talk" is equally applicable to both websites
This is clearly true irrespective of how reasonable or calf-headed you find the rants that get cross-posted onto here
So, sure, more at 11
Intressting how many people disagree with you, as if there hadn't been a [post on here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CuratedTumblr/s/c9tmZhQK0Y ) three months ago that called Elf on the Shelf "Surveillance State Propaganda"
Yes but Tumblr users smell different. Like any social media website has people who can go on rants and get likes or retweets, but they feel different cause their audience is different so they play to different cultures. Redditors are the kind of people who either want to be the smartest person in the room or agree with the smart person so they can ride their coattails. This is reinforced with the up vote system.
Counterpoint: Tumblr has that insult that they all crow about: “The bar was in hell, yet here you are playing limbo with the devil.” That’s as Reddit as it gets.
um actually im one of the GOOD redditors because i also use other websites and shake my fist and every other post here in disapproval. this means im exempt from the neckbeard stereotype!!
Redditors just don't know what belongs in tags and what belongs in the post.
>#and honestly you wouldn't see so much of a difference if you imagine a few pounds every 140 characters and for sentence breaks #plus the tumblr vocabulary and idiom inventory is just as embarassing because nobody can enjoy community peaceably for too long without some sad sack coming #along and telling everybody to pack it up #sonic amy shippers dni
Edit: fuck it. I tried. I'm not from reddit. I know how to not get pixelated not include a pound in text. My effort stops at quoting
My main means of ensuring I don't talk like a Redditor involves fervently espousing the values of religion, capitalism, and sports with pure genuine conviction and low levels of irony. My sentence structure, unfortunately, may be unfixable.
You know that whole "I have hidden myself beneath too many layers of irony and I've forgotten who I am" thing?
Yeah, I genuinely can't tell if this is the best satire ever or if OP is lobotomized.
Its a fascinating mix of tumblr and reddit bc "crawling back down ~~my~~ your well" is more of a tumblr thing to say
So chances are, OP is one of us freaks who uses this sub
Theres a lot of crossover these days. I remember the big tumblr migration last year when the new reddit update dropped. I ended up crawling back to reddit eventually but im sure a lot of people did end up becoming tumblr purists
Yeah, I've been on both since then.

> Reddit is a website for people who like to type. And tumblr - *a blogging site* - isn't??
We're not so different, we and they.
Their barbaric typing vs our noble blogging
Reddit is for debates and intentionally worded essays about stupid shit Tumblr is shitposts and carnal screeching
...you've never actually used tumblr before, have you?
To be fair I just joined a few months ago and all I’ve encountered so far is the gimmick accounts and Neil Gaiman

Wizardposting is a personal favorite, who doesn't love a wizard themed shit post.
I was criticized for talking "like this" on AIM in 2002-2005 tyvm. Reddit has nothing to do with it.
and yet here you are 20 damn years later I am very intelligent
*Society*
bottoms text
They sure do
So the text tops you? How do I get it to do that for me?
You put it in uppercase.
There were always redditors, even in the cave people times
Even in the year 24?
especially in the year 24
But not the year 25. Skipped that one
You can take the man out of Reddit but you cannot take the Reddit out of the man
Same but for MSN. In retrospect my autism diagnosis is not that surprising.
If Microsoft brought back MSN Messenger they'd probably recapture the market by millennial nostalgia, the inertia of them moving back in would drag the rest of the market with them. But knowing Microsoft they'd probably fuck it up and add in Teams integration or mandatory LinkedIn profiles.
Reddit kept the flame alive when everyone else had long moved on. This sort of speak used to be all over 4chan, for example.
the "gentlemanly" era of internet typing is dead and gone. thank fucking god
the fires of the early bbs flame wars still burn brightly in my heart.
You just won the internet for today good sir! 😂
This ^
Reddit on!
this is the way
Just kill me
take my updoot good sir (i hate myself for typing this)
Wholesome 100
thanks for the reddit gold kind stranger!
I wished we still had free awards
me too, but mostly because that got me years of ad-free reddit.
Thank you kind stranger! 🤢
google en passant
no this ones fine
Damn imagine being a redditor
couldn't be me
Ew, gross
I speak, think, write, type, etc in monologs You ask me a question that has to do with anything at all about my personality or habits, and I have a novel for you. No matter how minor. I can describe my exact thought process for every movement I'm insane and my friends have to deal with it, put me out of their misery
You know what? Let's go. Write me a novel. I'll ask the starting question: where do you usually buy your shoes from?
Not a question for me but you have no clue how much I hate buying shoes. I am size 16 1/2 and they don't make them unless you custom ask for them which makes it more expensive so I have to chose between slightly tight 16 and slightly loose 17 if I want to have affordable shoes.

I’ve bout the same pair of moccasins online over the last 5 years. I bought dress shoes from a shoe station once or twice for work and job interviews.
whic moccs?????
I bought a sweater for myself without checking the size and got it home and it was too small. It retails for $99 but I bought it at TJ Maxx for $20.

Same.
Your comment was read in the Patrick Bateman voice.

Tumblr and Reddit are two sides of the same coin and that coin is autism
Where is forchan on that spectrum
4chan is the metal the coin is made of
Sad guy in a bland hoodie and tracksuit who keeps his earphones in and never looks up.
Oh shit that used to be me minus the track pants, jeans or nothing.
The smart kid at my school who wore a tweed suit, burned an hourglass tattoo into his hand, then got expelled in senior year for strangling in english class
I don’t get why someone couldn’t just wait to strangle until *after* English class
Lawful autistic: Reddit Neutral autistic: Tumblr Chaotic autistic: 4chan
They're the site that claims to have autism to deflect that actually it's actually just an asshole.
Tumblr users complaining about how Redditors are terrible has to be some of the most blatant hypocrisy I have ever seen Bro could not recognize themselves in a mirror
its funny because the way you worded this is so reddit
I’ve spent much more time around reddit than tumblr, so that tracks
you can easily tell who's a redditor cus they'll endlessly complain about stupid shit. you can easily tell who's a tumblrite cus they'll endlessly complain about redditors. also that title couldn't possibly be more ironic lol
>because they're also the kind of person to hear themselves talk. Glass houses and stones when we're talking about Tumblr where people will go into a several thousand word rant about how Pokemon is transphobic and problematic according to Althusser stuff like that.
Yeah, the "redditor" comment is indistinguishable from any other Tumblr user throwing shade
Nah, it sounds a lot like reddit.
i saw some ppl on tumblr say something similar so I didn't think it was reddit until the last pic
Have you Been to Tumblr since 2013?? It’s mostly shitposts, aesthetics and art sharing. That whole SJW stereotype was always exaggerated in its prevalence.
I'm on Tumblr. You still see those kinds of rants today. People even screenshot them and post them here or on r/Tumblr
That side of Tumblr has been very effectively quarantined. Can't find it unless you try these days. Meanwhile on Reddit, I'm half expecting this very comment to get "uhm acktually'd" Edit: This comment did, in fact, get "uhm acktually'd" 😂
Disagree. I follow a Star Wars the old republic video game art and I *still* get bullshit in my feed. Do you know how niche that is comparatively?
True. I really wish that stereotype would fuckin die already. Anytime I say “Huh, that scene’s kinda iffy” I get jumped on by people who think “problematic” equals “should not exist/moral hardline/irredeemable” because like, 4 people have that attitude and now every person who cares about what media normalizes is automatically some hyper-sanitary caricature.
Me when I say something wrong but said "if you disagree with me you're a loser" first
It's always "mostly" been that, but there's still plenty of word vomit. And we know that because a lot of it gets reposted on this sub
Do they get posted??? I check the sub pretty regularly and rarely see anybody being unreasonable or bullheaded like the SJW stereotype. “Idiots exist on a social media platform.” More at 11.
This all kicked off from someone pointing out "they're also the kind of person who likes to hear themselves talk" is equally applicable to both websites This is clearly true irrespective of how reasonable or calf-headed you find the rants that get cross-posted onto here So, sure, more at 11
You literally see them every day on this sub. People starting discourse over the dumbest shit.
It’s the soapbox kind of content that I see mostly here on self post Sunday- wait a second They quarantined the *redditors*
I'm there for the shitposts tbh the fact that 100% of all Tumblr users, myself included, are queer dropout spazmos is just a bonus
Intressting how many people disagree with you, as if there hadn't been a [post on here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CuratedTumblr/s/c9tmZhQK0Y ) three months ago that called Elf on the Shelf "Surveillance State Propaganda"
Don't forget the constant warring over what ships are allowed to be discussed.
nobody on tumblr types those up these days, over there you're more likely to see a post that's just my althussy????????
Yes but Tumblr users smell different. Like any social media website has people who can go on rants and get likes or retweets, but they feel different cause their audience is different so they play to different cultures. Redditors are the kind of people who either want to be the smartest person in the room or agree with the smart person so they can ride their coattails. This is reinforced with the up vote system.
The only difference is that Tumblr is leagues gayer. That's why they smell better.
Reddit accent son or Tumblr accent daughter
Tumblr accent daughter, I ain't having no reddit accent son. 🤠
Counterpoint: Tumblr has that insult that they all crow about: “The bar was in hell, yet here you are playing limbo with the devil.” That’s as Reddit as it gets.
And yet you use Reddit. Curious! I am very intelligent.
I love how this is a reference, which is the epitome of Reddit comedy
Reference? I love references.
>CaptainAmerica_I_UnderstoodThatReference.gif
I'm very close to using the s-word now
And yet you haven’t, Mx liberal? The woke left truely has no spine. Literally George Orwell in 1984.
It reads as if AI was trained only on reddit comments
No, I am a real boy.

um actually im one of the GOOD redditors because i also use other websites and shake my fist and every other post here in disapproval. this means im exempt from the neckbeard stereotype!!
Play stupid games win stupid prices
minor spelling mistake kill squad engaged
the price is your kidney
As a tumblr veteran I can say the right response would have been: „good job, I see we learned how numbers work today :)“
"Crawl back down your well" on its own would also work
I think it's mostly the 'take my reblog' that's the issue here, too reminiscent of 'take my upvotes and get out of here' that you see on reddit
That is really the only reddit thing in there. It's an oddly self obsessed thing to say and tumblr is bothing if not self-hating
Oh so *that's* why I'm here tee hee
I wasn’t like this before I started using this site, I swear to god. You all did this to me.
that is not what a redditor would say. they'd say "Not all 2024ians. someone born December 13ths 2024 would still be 23."
I feel called out for my verbosity. You didn't have to make your title that kind of nuclear roast for yourself and every redditor.
Redditors just don't know what belongs in tags and what belongs in the post. >#and honestly you wouldn't see so much of a difference if you imagine a few pounds every 140 characters and for sentence breaks #plus the tumblr vocabulary and idiom inventory is just as embarassing because nobody can enjoy community peaceably for too long without some sad sack coming #along and telling everybody to pack it up #sonic amy shippers dni Edit: fuck it. I tried. I'm not from reddit. I know how to not get pixelated not include a pound in text. My effort stops at quoting
Use backslash to escape markup formatting. `\#whatever` will give you the # without making it big.
Thank you. #now make me able to yell in tags on tumblr and you are the greatest wizard who ever lived.
My main means of ensuring I don't talk like a Redditor involves fervently espousing the values of religion, capitalism, and sports with pure genuine conviction and low levels of irony. My sentence structure, unfortunately, may be unfixable.
doh, I am called out directly here
tbf i would argue most other social media has it’s own kind of feel
this is like a[10] being the same as 10[a]
….. ….. I do like to type for fun reasons. Occupies you while you listen to music.
"One-night stand"? Good Sir, I am a *Redditor*. SEX was never an option.
My posts undergo several drafts, but specifically so they become more incomprehensible.
holy shit
and the badger song is now 20 years old :(
i hate talking to people -Billy Gnosis
what if tumblr and reddit kissed 👉👈
id be genuinely upset if this happened to me
us Reddit fans would sing our praise for the Big Chungus and Keanu Reaves I think this is slightly inaccurate
good thing I’m not a redditor
Eat my updoot.
What?
Death
White noise posters drive me up the wall (this one included)
ouch
Oh please, Reddit is the social media for intellectuals. OOP has no need to apologize.
Reddit is the social media of fools and jesters.
You have an unusually high opinion of Reddit.
Maybe.
TikTok is the social media of fools and jesters.
Oh, you’re one of *those*.
Hey, at least I have some self-respect.
Are you supposing that I do not?
You disrespect your own social media.
"My own social media" it's a fucking website. I hold no more loyalty to it than I do to the supermarket.
To each their own, I suppose.
No, not “to each their own”, it’s a corporation that doesn’t care about you or me. Why are you loyal to this machine?
[удалено]
Why did you write an essay of answers to a post with less than 20 upvotes
Cause their insufferable.
They’re* hehe
Thei'yr
You know that whole "I have hidden myself beneath too many layers of irony and I've forgotten who I am" thing? Yeah, I genuinely can't tell if this is the best satire ever or if OP is lobotomized.
So it’s seems you mastered the ability to suck yourself off
This just confuses me.
