For anyone annoyed by the Tumblr changes, if you're on desktop I would recommend using XKit Rewritten (and New XKit for any other odd changes you'd like to try out, including even older aspects of Tumblr). It's the older version of Rewritten but most of the extensions on it are still supported/do work). I can't guarantee they'll definitely make a fix for it/a direct fix for this particular UI change, but it's possible that they might since they usually make extensions that allow you to essentially revert changes made to the UI. Other various UI extensions (such as old ones from Tumblr's past UIs that the extensions basically just revert you to) may also help fix up your UI.

As you might expect these extensions need to be on to work/revert the appearance of the UI (so if you turn them off you'll revert to the current state of Tumblr), but while they are on you can curate your UI to look how you want it. This goes for both New XKit and XKit Rewritten. I use both and I couldn't live without them lol. You can get some big oldies of Tumblr's, like classic search on Rewritten or the Tweaks extension (full of various UI tweaks) on New XKit (including the old shade of blue Tumblr used a long time ago that I never stopped using!).

Unfortunately I don't know of any solution for mobile if it affects mobile at any point (or if it already has), but whenever you're on desktop, I would definitely recommend both these versions of XKit. I have so many extensions from them that I often don't even realize when there are UI changes (remember how Tumblr added themes for your dashboard? I didn't even notice for the longest time because I've had New XKit on the whole time) because Tumblr's default coding is overwritten by the extensions I have on.

#DCB Comments #literally like when was the last time I was bothered/affected by a big UI change #idk bc I always have XKit on lol fhjaghjfg like half the time I don't even notice there was a change #atm I can't tell if I just haven't been hit by the change yet or if all the extensions I'm using are preventing it #bc I use a LOT of old interface extensions so in a sense I'm using an older version/look to Tumblr #I also heard a techbro runs Tumblr now so don't be surprised that this site is going to #end up looking like a Twitter clone. techbros want all social media to look exactly identical #while still claiming to want to one up each other and act like they have the bigger/better company #like nah bruh y'all're the same and y'all're shit #as much as I still hope Tumblr doesn't fall into that I feel like it will unless someone else runs Tumblr soon :'( #like buddy I don't use Twitter much at all anymore for a reason. well a lot of reasons #anyway get New XKit for lots of OLDER older Tumblr stuff and Rewritten for newer stuff/updated New XKit stuff #New XKit still works fine it's just that they made a newer/more improved version of New #if you've never used XKit make sure to use NEW and REWRITTEN tho #the original XKit is probably no longer functional and I don't even know if it's still on the app stores #last I knew of it most of its extensions were so outdated that they broke a long time ago #but you can use both of the newer ones together actively and it works amazingly

im really really really too old to figure new sites

#i cry every time my bank app updates bc i can't find shit there what r u talking about i won't have energy to start new blog on a new site #and without tumblr i won't make gifs anymore so. figuring new platforms barely worth it #thanks people who's been following me through my Stages and new followers too #you all will be lucky if tumblr shuts down before tua s4 comes out <3 trust me

idly thinking here but honestly i think if this blog went down then i'd just be done with tumblr forever. like.....that's it. this is the blog i've had for as long as i've had a tumblr account, i'm not built like the people who can start again and remake over and over again. it'd be a sign that i just need to be done with this website for good i think.

#i mean i've vented on here about being on tumblr has been making me feel worse recently so it could just be that part of me talking #but idk man. i've had this blog since i was fifteen i can't even imagine trying to remake everything #and with the way this website keeps getting worse and worse structurally and the way i keep using it for emotional self harm..... #idk it might be for the best in the long run? #i dunno. i don't wanna lose all my shit or lose my place to ramble #and i've met some cool people on here. i don't wanna downplay the good #but a LOT of it has been really bad and i've been thinking a lot about how i need to reduce the amount of time i spend on here #and the biggest struggle with that aside from not really having anything to replace that with is the fact i consistently have access to it #not on mobile anymore thankfully the app is rancid lmfaoooo #but when i'm home and on my laptop it's way too easy to pop open a tab #and if i'm logged out i can always just log back in #idk. i don't really wanna go full nuclear on this blog but i also hate having it sometimes so ahaaaaa #marshy speaks #delete later

not only do I get extremely obsessed with things (people), I also have to obsess over the fact that I'm doing it. every time. great.

#I do literally mean obsess. not like haha I like someone a lot and it's funny #can't stop thinking. can't stop thinking about the fact that I'm doing that #it's not nice it sucks and I hate my brain #I've given myself a massive headache now #it just keeps going round and round and I can't get out of the thoughts #fuck why can't I just have a normal brain like. why does this keep happening #idk I just can't stop it #so now I'll try to sleep but instead I'll think about him and the fact that I'm thinking about him and the headache will get worse and the #thoughts will get worse and I'm just the worst and #all that. because. I think a guy is cute. I'm not allowed to think that because when I do this happens and I can't get out of it and nothing #else exists anymore #fuck I shouldn't have downloaded the tumblr app again no one needs to read this shit 😭 #personal

Little accessibility rant 8

Just saw a news article calling dark mode on devices a trend and mother fuckers I dunno how to explain to you that a lot of humans have been breaking the internet for decades because black text on a white bg is pure god damn agony. And if you're going to force your shitty app or your dumb email to break my phone's dark mode settings so it can look nice, bitch I am going to absolutely fuck you with forced custom app rules in the accessibility settings. 8) Now your shit looks like total ass and it's nobody's fault but your own. 8D

Btw if you too want to fuck up a company's hard work so you don't projectile vomit all over your screen, on iOS go to settings - accessibility - per app settings, then plug in any app that's trying to get around dark mode and go into that app and turn on "smart invert". It will mostly leave images alone but everything else it will flip color schemes on. No more eye gouging white bg emails now ahahaha! I'm not sure how this works on Android but I think it's also doable with those devices. To do it on your laptop/pc it just depends on your browser and installing a good dark reader extension.

#you'll never guess who's having a migrain right now 8) #and almost yeeted their phone across the room because of yet another email using html to fuck up my dark mode #bite me you accessibility hating assholes! #as you can see I'm a little punchy right now XD #blindness #accessibility #dark mode #reinstalled the app so I can tag shit again #too bad I can't actually read posts on the app #tumblr oh my god you're a blogging site #it's been over a decade get your shit together with accessibility jeebus

hey I'm logging out of everything for at least the next week I've been trying to get homework done all day and i can't because I just keep coming here and doomscrolling and doing that everywhere else too and just making myself feel worse. I have midterms that i havent studied for and homework that needs to be done and a real job that im choosing to focus on instead. I should be back by the end of the week but im going to go touch some grass and read a book and reevaluate myself.

#I'm not going back on anything I've said #I just feel like shit. #my inattentiveness and lack of motivation is freaking me out #I did something like this before with tiktok bc I was always on it and it stressed me out #and I quit cold turkey #it's improved my moods and mental health by a ton so I'm trying that here #if you have my discord feel free to reach out #I'll still be active on wander smp #I'm not ditching minecraft I've loved that game for about half my life #but there's an issue here for me personally and I don't even have the tumblr or twt app #so im logging out #this situation will take so long to get closure that I can't deal with it. I don't have the energy #I'm doing it!!! im finally becoming a normie!!!!!! #so this is me. stepping back and signing out. #see you guys on the other side o7

#lucien txt #i might have to start using my laptop for tumblr #perhaps exclusively #bc the way mobile is becoming insufferable to use i fear i may #it's slow as hell #ads everywhere #i can't play music and run this app simultaneously bc sometimes it likes to shut my music app off for fun #there's like a plethora of other shit that i can't recall but in conclusion tumblr mobile sucks ass lol

[lurkiestvoid]

I JUST. SPENT OVER SIX. FUCKING HOURS. METICULOUSLY WRITING, SOURCING, AND EDITING AN ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE POST. ON MOBILE EVEN!!

AND. THE MILLISECOND I CLICKED "POST."

TUMBLR FUCKING ATE IT.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOLY SHIT #LIKE!!! No one would have read it!! And that would have been fine!!! #I would have been okay with 0 notes that is my normal!! BUT #AFTER ALL THE FUCKING WORK I PUT IN #THE ENTIRE THING JUST GOING *POOF* INTO THE VOID FOREVER #IS PHYSICALLY GODDAMN PAINFUL #AND THIS IS THE MOST INFURIATING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN A LONG TIME #“error: something went wrong. please try again” WITH WHAT #YOU THANOS SNAPPED IT OUT OF EXISTENCE #YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST DUMPED IT IN MY DRAFTS BUT NOOOO #AND IF YOUR APP DIDNT SUCK CHEESY GOATNUTS ABOUT C+P I WOULD HAVE HAD A BACKUP #BUT NOOOOOO CAN'T SELECT MORE THAN ONE (1) PARAGRAPH AT A TIME BC THAT WOULD BE FUNCTIONAL AND THEREFORE NOT TUMBLR #FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Image Description: A white text box: "Accounts created after May 8th, 2023 have the 'For You' tab as the default dashboard tab. Other existing users' dashboard tabs are not changed. We are also working on making dashboard tabs even more customizable, including adding the ability to choose which tab appears first." End ID.]

From the latest update (June 2nd, 2023)

Oh, fuck this. If you're a new user, don't forget to set your dashboard to Following and turn "Based on your likes" and "Best stuff first" off

EDIT: A few corrections

For new users, you can't change the default back to Following. This means that whenever you open up your app/go to your dash, the first tab you'll see is the For You tab

Note for the previous point, I can't confirm this since my account is rather old, if anybody has an examples, I'd appreciate it

Yes, some people mentioned that you don't have to turn off Based on your likes and Best stuff first, but that's mostly my preference since (to me at least) it does not work, it just shows me random shit that is absolutely not based on my likes

My main problem with this update is that it strips the user from being able to choose what they wanted to see. It's totally cool if you use the For You tab, but it shouldn't be the default option

Additional points from the tags and reblogs:

You can turn off public likes and followings, again, not mandatory, but it's an option

Make sure to turn off Tumblr Live (pretty sure it's only available to US users, which I am not one) since it apparently drains mobile data

There are (browser) addons and extensions that allows you to block elements or make your tumblr experience better, like uBlock Origin (an adblocker which can be used to block certain elements from showing up) and the XKit Control Panel/New XKit

#pink posts #what the fuck is this update hello??? #one week later edit: yeah a few corrections #also why the fuck did this explode

tumblr fucking broke

I can't use it thru Firefox on my phone. (Not if I want to reblog posts anyway). So my options are safari 🤮 or the tumblr app 🤮🤮🤮

#I'm gonna kms like #I hid safari on my phone ( bc you can't fully delete it) #for a fucking reason #I don't want my shit tracked #And the app would shorten the life of my phone #cus it will make it overheat and crash and drain so much battery and storage #or if I stay on FF I have to open a new window for each rb. Or only like stuff #which is like I don't want to use tumblr if I can only like stuff #ugh #ik not many ppl use tumblr this way so nothing is gonna be done abt it #tumblr update #new on tumblr

[wildflowercryptid]

fuck, i shouldn't have updated my tumblr app bc now rearranging tags is broken. 🙃

#can't have shit on tumblr #finally broke down and left a review on the app store bc i'm getting real sick of this shit ngl #mj.txt
