I guess it’s kind of like Reddit in a way. You can only interact with your specific niche, for the most part. I follow some cosplayers, some other people that sew, and some “bad dating” blogs because that shit is hilarious when you’ve been married for years. So that’s all I see, more or less (one of the sewing blogs will occasionally queue up naked men when she’s on vacation so sometimes there’s surprise penis in my feed).
Really I only chose it for my blog platform because two of my siblings and my dad had one. I think my dad only ever made 3 posts. The only time I see that Tumblr angst is when my sister’s girlfriend reblogs some argument that’s making the rounds.
