I liked and mostly agreed with this article on "the enshittification" of TikTok, Twitter, Amazon shopping, and other web services.

The prompt here focused on the Twitter explosion, so I guess I'll talk about platforms in a kind of rambling, disorganized sort of way.

I used to really like taking personality/sorting quizzes and sharing the results on LJ/DW (I've got a quizzes tag (all f-locked)) but I feel like personality quizzes have really gone downhill since their heyday on... (looks at the quiz site I shared my results from the most) ...Blogthings.com? I don't actually know much about that site, but this post I found when Googling the site name just now suggests that it was one woman's project and that all the quizzes were written by her... Which I guess would explain the consistently high quality of the quizzes!

Are you a member of a small, marginalized identity-based community of Tumblr bloggers, looking to advocate for yourselves, support each other, have meaningful discussions, build, and grow? Then Tumblr itself is standing in your way.
