Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I've been a daily Tumblr user for 12 years now, and while I love the community and culture, the developers have been awful. The platform has issues with inappropriate ads, porn bots, and the Blaze feature, which allows unwanted posts to appear on dashboards. It's becoming suffocating for the queer community that made Tumblr famous.
StellaSapphire
The latest update broke the app. It keeps force closing, and I can't send or post photos at all. I hope this problem gets fixed because it really is a 5-star app!
A Google user
Tumblr is a wonderful platform with many oddities to explore. The community is charming, and I'm happy to have joined. If you're thinking about getting it, I highly recommend it!
