Tumblrers' epic snarky responses to "No Wifi Talk to Each Other" sign

[Shuck]

But the internet is outside now, too!

We have ways to make you talk.

Not there it isn’t!

NO WIFI! TALK!

It has a subreddit, therefore it exists.

No?

Being on tumblr, the “boring” part can be safely assumed, so we’re talking about something that’s both, here.

#notalltumblr content is necessarily bad. Sometimes good ones appear.

I agree… I think tumblr is like just about anything else - it’s a platform that probably appeals to some and not others. Some people just get kind of partisan about one platform and another, one social media format or another. I’m kind of flummoxed as to why some people get so upset about it… If you don’t like it, don’t go there and if you do, then go there. Seems pretty simple to me.

I’ll probably get kicked in the nuts again for saying it, but this is my main gripe with Tumblr, and why I started following Tumblr in Action: the blogs that aren’t achingly dull or just porn blogs tend to be people just saying outrageous things to get pageviews. And on every one of the super-outrageous ones, you’ll see hundreds, even thousands, of “blah liked this” and “blah reblogged this”.

With no context, you have no idea if the person who “likes” the statement, “We could have world peace if we killed all the truscum,” is doing so because they think it’s a funny troll, they genuinely agree, or they’re using a “like” as a way to bookmark it, or what; and a lot of the reblogs tend to be, “Look at this wacky thing this person said.”

(I just used “truscum” as an example because it seems to be trending with the SJ teenage set right now; please, let’s keep the arguing to a minimum. Also, I’m aware that TiA turned into an anti-feminist circlejerk for a while; they’re cracking down on it. Please don’t kill me; I don’t want to be banned…can we talk about the chilling effects of removal/banning at some point?)
