Gotta admit, I'm still not sure how 196 differs from c/furry_irl over there, so far my impression is that it's been pretty much the same content (cross-posted from furry_IRL, in fact).

am i missing something?

Femboys are a very good example of how the world is a lot better than the world we live in today, and the world is a lot better than it was before the internet existed, and the internet was a lot better than it was before the internet was invented.

From a FUTO Keyboard that's still in early training, FWIW.

The new ommoran phase is as follow:

The stone will target a random dwarf and encase them in a prison if they're standing still, reducing the team's dps for a bit. It also does heavy damage to the drilldozer if the dwarf is standing on it when it happens. This is to discourage camping on the drilldozer.

That's all there is to it.

Ea-Nasir is very famous on the nerdy side of tumblr. Chrysippus too, to a lesser extent.

I think those are simply tumblr leaks tbh.

I can't find it back, but I remember seeing a meme comic about bad posture exactly like this.

Kinda looked like this:

A boykisser typing with his legs spread across his keyboard.

Although I am subscribed to it here, I only learned about the 196 subreddit during the api shutdown (and through tumblr, actually (apparently the content I post resonated a lot with r/196 refugees at the time)). By that time I was already moving out.

Honestly I didn't even question it

Oh boy Alright let's see if I can keep it short (edit: 😔), I've been there since the start so Let's Go:

  • First, some vocab.

    • Dashboard = feed
    • Staff = admins
    • Blog theme = custom look of a blog
  • The default "For You" dashboard is kinda trash. It's one of tumblr's attempts at an algorithmic feed. It mixes stuff from your following with stuff from tags you've liked, but doesn't do a great job at either. If you want a pure reverse chronological feed with no algorithm, I suggest you use the "Following" tab. If you want to actually see new stuff from your interests, then I suggest you go to the Explore page and then use the "For You" tab that is there.

  • Reblogging works just like a re-tweet, except that if OP deletes the original post, all reblogs stay up. Think of reblogs as copies, rather than direct sharing. That also means that very old posts are still circulating around today. Which is cool.

  • There are bot waves on there. It's not as bad as it sounds though, they're mostly mildly annoying by giving you useless notifications. You might not see them for a while, since they tend to target more established accounts, but if you see one, the rule is to report them as "spam and/or bot". The more we report, the easier it is for Staff to figure out the current pattern. Currently some bots are countering this by having no bio and no profile picture, so if you want to avoid being mistaken for a bot, please set one up.

  • Your likes are public by default and will be shown to your followers right on their dashboards. If that's OK with you, carry on, otherwise you can make them private in your account settings.

  • Speaking of settings, there's actually a lot that you can customize in there. Don't hesitate to spend some time going through all the options!

  • And speaking of customization, if you're on desktop, the most popular add-on for tumblr is XKit Rewritten". I can't recommend it enough. It's like the YCC of YouTube or the RES of reddit. But on steroids.

  • And, while we're on the customization topic, you can actually fully customize your blog. I'm talking like, full HTML and CSS and Javascript customization. So go hogwild if you want! However please note: blogs can have 2 different views. The default one is basically a minimalist view that only has the posts. You can find that one at www.tumblr.com/name. If you want to actually see a blog's custom theme (if it has one), you need to go to name.tumblr.com.

  • When you create a post, the tags you put will make it show up in tag searches. If you put tags that not relevant to the post (like on Instagram where people put all the trends in their tags just to be seen), that is actually against tumblr's ToS and you can be reported for spam. The only exception is for nonsensical tags, or "Commentary Tags" which brings me to the next point

  • Tags on tumblr are a new form of communication (not a joke, there's been research on this lol). You will often see people put whole sentences in there. That's fine. These are essentially comments from the poster (or reblogger), and are seen as the acceptable form of commentary when there is nothing to add to the post. Embrace it, it's very fun, especially if you're neurodivergent. I could elaborate but I won't.

These are all the big tips I can think of right now. I probably missed a lot. If you have any question on specific parts of tumblr I would love to answer those.

Finally as for recommendations, well, I don't know your tastes, but if you're into cool girls, furries, tech, and cool things in general, then I suppose you would enjoy what I post here.

Lmao I have the same with AWS. I tried a free plan like 10 years ago, then noticed it was only free one month. On the last day I deleted and disabled everything, but I guess something took longer to deactivate because the next month I'm presented a $0.17 bill with a warning of account suspension if I don't pay up (like hell I would).

I still get those emails, twice a month. They go straight to the bin.

Oh man, I feel that one

Right now I think it would be really cool to be a feminine-presenting girl, but my ideal self when I'm old is more like "retired santa-looking trucker who spends his days in a woodworking workshop". An elder bear, if you will.

And I'm kinda already there today to be honest, so like. Yeah. Metronome time.
