So @photomatt (aka the guy who runs the company that owns Tumblr) is doing a livestream right now, taking questions from users.

A user with epilepsy asked if something could be done to make sure that ads aren’t vibrant or strobing, because that’s a seizure risk.

Matt made some vague noises about looking into it, kind of mumbling and then full voice immediately said “you should maybe buy the no ads upgrade, or get someone to gift it to you.”

He suggested the user pay for basic accessibility, to make sure the site doesn’t give them seizures.

I shouldn’t need to explain why this is very very bad, especially in conjunction with that last post from @staff.

Tumblr is apparently running a $30,000,000 deficit, and reversing that is the clear priority of the ownership right now. The interests of users aren’t going to be important until or unless they find a way to monetize us.

everyone's saying it but yeah the new tumblr desktop layout is complete garbage lmao

yknow what i really can't fucking stand. how every social media now feels like it's designed for mobile first but then subsequently there is NO design for desktop and they just kinda slap a mobile interface onto a widescreen canvas and fill it with a solid color. like why is what feels like 60% of my dashboard just negative space on a 16:9 monitor. the entire thing is so fucking claustrophobic and just bunched together. use the space!!!! why are the timeline switcher tabs at the top of the screen getting cut off!!! you could fit all of them!!!
