The blogosphere has mostly disappeared. It's difficult to search for recent blog posts on anything. The top page for any current event on both Duck Duck Throw and Fooble are all major news sites.
@djsumdog nearly everything but big websites are disappearing really

Long lost are the days of sites like RPG Classics being common

Tumblr is supposed to be a "blog" system BTW. A horrible one at that. It's pointless to make blogs, nobody even visits then anymore

@coolboymew @djsumdog Medium seems to be the place to host blogs now and it's even worse than Tumblr. At least Tumblr has custom HTML/CSS.

@xianc78 @djsumdog I dunno, medium is definitively made for reading, but yes, it's basic as shit

@coolboymew @djsumdog It was created to be Twitter but for blog style posts. But while it doesn't have any customization, it's actually designed for professional style blogs unlike Tumblr.

@xianc78 @djsumdog my problem with tumble is that a social media blog doesn't really work, it's not really a blog anymore, it's just a shittier less convenient twitter. It's not ALL bad, it has some interesting function if you really want to use it as a blog, but yeah
@coolboymew @djsumdog @xianc78 It was great before Verizon bought it and shut down all the porn
@agntsmith @djsumdog @xianc78 IIRC porn came back but it was so goddamn inconvenient you might as well not use it

18+ posts directly redirected you to the dashboard, and it seemed to be literally impossible to access these posts without already following and the stuff being on your dashboard. It was stupid. No idea if they ever changed that

(I had a blank account to try it out)
@1iceloops123 @djsumdog @xianc78 @coolboymew Look man, when you're doing a 15 hour stakeout, they look at things like "pornub" and "xhamster" and you get written up by the brass. But they see "tumblr" and just think "god damn it, Smith's just another Millenial bonehead"
@NEETzsche @djsumdog @xianc78 @1iceloops123 @coolboymew You assume I took this job as a choice. I'm a fed. Because of a court order. I pulled a Chris Chan and it was either prison or the Fed.

I almost wish I took prison.
@NEETzsche @djsumdog @xianc78 @1iceloops123 @coolboymew

> I pulled a Chris Chan

Do I *really* have to spell it out? Dad left, mom was lonely, and I was a 18 year old High School Sophomore with nowhere to go in life.
@agntsmith I understand. Eugh. I asked because that wasn't the only thing Chris Chan did.

@agntsmith @NEETzsche @1iceloops123 @coolboymew @djsumdog @xianc78 You could not get into a university, so you just got into your mother instead.
@coolboymew @agntsmith @djsumdog @xianc78 I wrote an API reader that dumped it all as an RSS feed and then read it in thunderbird. This way I could claim I was busy doing my email.
