Tumblr has a MAJOR accessibility flaw. this needs to be addressed.
. posting here because it has more reach
.
so i decided to install tumblr to my android tv. why, i hear you ask? because funnies, that's why. (there is also no official release for tumblr on android tv)
so it loads in
and i see my dash
so, naturally, i do what any person in my generation would do and try to scroll. down on the dpad on my remote control.
it does nothing. i try button mashing. also does nothing.
i try the algo page. does nothing.
finally, i try the tags page (only other tab by default). works fine (mostly). (apart from getting caught on the Very Important Internet Checkmarks and needing to go past each one individually)
see below that i have scrolled down
this is a real problem because people with motor skill disorders, people who cannot use a touchscreen (for whatever reason) and others should be able to use their phone like any other person correct?
PirateSoftware on twitch (i love you thor!) said you should embed controller support in your games so that people with disabilities can rebind the controller buttons to their personalised controllers. Why are android apps any different? If my technically somewhat advanced tumblr sideloading to tv shenanigans don't work, how is the average, mostly tech-illiterate (so happens to be the majority of our generation [gen z]) disabled smartphone user supposed to?
Tumblr. Fix your damn app.
bonus funny:
tumblr mart still works 😭😭

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of aro ace and aspec post on my dash. I blame this on my companion. They blessed me with their queerplatonic friendship and now I’m becoming more and more like that person from the favorite color is yellow post. I’ve started seeing aspec in everything lately and it’s only growing. It’s beautiful, and I want to live in it forever.
Been meaning to actually upload to this blog and online in general. So here's to the first actual art piece uploaded on here! Hermitcraft has had the most intense chokehold on me since s7 ended and s10 has made it so much more intensive. Excuse me if I brainrot too hard and my hcs get annoying lol.
In this we have a good ol' classic kitsune and or arctic fox etho! Really wanted to play around with the red n blue contrast because he gives such intense blue energy yet I would think the constant breathing in of redstone would affect his personality in ways not seen in the other redstoners. Whether that's good or bad who knows! Just know, do not try to fight this man. He may be washed up but he has a scars for a reason.
its so funny to me that people on twitter n tiktok are like "ok but porns still banned on tumblr so at least we're better then them" as if they dont have to typ3 w0rd$ I1k3 th!$ to get around their censors
“you inspired me” is still crazy from minutetech but its the part right after where he says “i dont know who you are anymore” that twists the knife in my gut.
this is the person who has shaped minutetech's moral code so thoroughly - every action he's taken towards being a good person and fighting for the people no one else will - it's because of You. and who are you now? you've become so cruel, so angry, so detached. so hurt. that when i try to search for what endeared me to you in the first place, i dont recognize you anymore.
who are you? can i help you remember? will you let me show you once again? you'll have to take my hand and trust me. you'll have to open your eyes to the possibility of more hurt, another betrayal, but i want to help you find yourself again if you'll let me.
The fact that staff refuses to do something about the bots in the #asexual tag who literally do nothing else (some of them only have one tag and that’s asexual) that we had to make a new tag (#acespec mafia) is honestly insane
Imp and scar drawn by the beloved CO-CREATOR ‼️‼️‼️ of this au @kunehokki GO CHECK HIM OUT ILL LINK THE POST AFTER HE POSTS IT TOO!
Be sure to read some of them there's bg lore :3 (esp in imp and scars)
And again disclaimer to not tag this post with anything that can be interpreted as isat spoilers! Eirian and i have finished the game but that doesn't mean others have!🫡
