Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Why even go to any conservative board? Same for the tankie boards. It's just madness in there
To break up the echo chamber. To me, silence is acceptance and downvoting their posts as I scroll by doesn't feel like enough.
You're throwing a bleach wipe into a portopotty. Is it really making that pile of shit any cleaner?
Well you're certainly not
I am certainly not no. I just don't spend time in the reservoir of a portopotty
My sanity is limited.
Just please be kind to yourself. It's not your job to fix the world and everyone in it, and there's too many asshats out there for you to be able to.
Also, please be kind to others. There are a lot of people in the world against this bullshit who are too busy with necessities to spend time arguing with internet ghouls, or too tired with everything else in their lives. Everyone has their own struggles and has to pick and choose the battles they can fight.
Silence definitely aids the spread of reprehensible beliefs, but it's absolutely not the same as outright acceptance ir agreement. There's just not enough time in life to debate every fucking chud out there.
I go there to be aware of what is going on in people’s heads.
Echo chambers are nice and all (I actually think they are healthy), but they don’t inform you of the current state of everyone.
