Yeah I very much agree about tumblr. I’d plug mastodon as well.

I think we basically do have social websites that work, are enjoyable and aren’t soulless.

A big question is why are people complaining about one platform when they could be on another.

Social graph lock-in. :( I use Mastodon and love it, but all of my IRL [weak ties] are on FB and IG.
