I think if you want to call something a “———— heritage post” then it needs to be from like, a bygone era of [tumblr]. it can’t be a heritage post if it’s from a year ago
i think the eras of [tumblr] are fairly vague but can pretty much be defined as:
2007–2010 [tumblr]; a mostly unused site. boring.
2010–2014 [tumblr]; fourth biggest social media platform in the world. fandom vs hipster. denny’s. mostly high school/college aged users. most like modern tiktok.
2014–2018 [tumblr]; yahoo acquisition and dashcon killed new user intake. everything became cringe, the vibe changed drastically. most like modern twitter.
2018–2022 [tumblr]; porn ban happened. roughly half the userbase vanished overnight. suddenly a much more insular community of late-20 somethings. most like modern… google plus?
2022–2026 [tumblr]; present day. wordpress started making rapid changes, the porn ban was relaxed, twitter migration started to some extent. life is happy.
2026–2030 [tumblr]; posts removed in favour of tumblr live, no real moderation (outlawing of machine learning), site becomes almost all pornography and shock videos. most like modern 4chan.
2030– [tumblr]; final act of president jess biden is to take the site offline after the string of assassinations it caused. users migrate to tin can on a string dot gov. most like an episode of seinfeld
I love this website because one time someone told my boyfriend to kill himself but used she/her pronouns and came back like two minutes later apologizing profusely for misgendering him but also reaffirming their original message that he should kill himself

Pagan Tumblr nazis be like heres the corniest looking picture of a wolf uve ever seen in ur life
I bet if people reconstructed human society from [tumblr] archives there would be a period where scholars were aware of “the elf piss ask” but had not yet encountered it
i think it’s so funny that tumblr had twitter polls for a week, created every sexy man/entity contest we could in that time, got bored with that, devolved into dadaist baking recipes and art pieces, and then swerved into creating complex mathematical experiments in order to prove laws of statistical analysis and human psychology. great work everyone, no notes
(logging into the beating a slightly funny joke into the fucking ground website) they better not be beating a slightly funny joke into the fucking ground in here
