Your personal Tumblr library awaits
serious post + rant
One of the main reasons I prefer tumblr over all other social media platforms; is the anonymity. I don’t get bombarded with people who I have irl relations with. I’d rather them not know what I do over the internet (especially here), as I like a sense of privacy.
Anyways, to the main point of the post, it is also kind of a bummer. The sense of privacy and anonymity this service provides for this community is something I adore. Saying that, it still feels somewhat isolating, as I have no idea who any of you are. And, I have no irl people who share the same interests (generally, too).
One idea, which I considered then came to refuse its application, is basically joining a irl version of this. I initially liked it, as it would solve that issue. However, then I came to detest it as my anxiety took hold, there was no anonymity. Anything could happen, I deemed it too much of a risk.
Does any of this, resonate with you?
