we all gripe about this site’s past and present and future because yes it sucks so why has it been literal years since I’ve seen any posts recalling ye olde Post Limit
I’m sorry the What
You could only make and reblog like 150 posts within a certain period of time to control traffic or whatever, and when you hit that limit you would be unable to post or reblog anything for sometimes several hours.
There was an ENTIRE external site called postlimit dot com that everyone had bookmarked because you’d search up your url there and it gave you a countdown to when the effects of your banishment would be lifted.
A lot of people would hit Post Limit at similar times so we used to go to like Skype or whatever and chat (because tumblr did not have an on-site messaging system beyond fan mail at the time) while we all waited for tumblr to free us from the little shame lockers they shoved us in.
The post limit was actually 250 but go off I guess. Also the website still exists. And, people didn’t reconvene on Skype when they hit post limit, they deadass had an entire other account called a “post limit blog” and they’d go there to shame post until their banishment period was over.
so last week I reposted the money dog hoping money would come my way and guess what… IT WORKED!
the very next day I found the most amazing website. they will literally pay you to take quizzes like the ones on buzzfeed (for market research or some shit.) I know that they’re legit bc I already received my first $20 via paypal, BLESS U MONEY DOG 😭 I only spent like an hour taking quizzes so I couldn’t be happier
“imagine meeting someone who wanted to learn your past not to punish you, but to learn how you needed to be loved. Be inspired by people who don’t run away when they locate the darkness in you; who instead lean in & ask where the darkness stems from & how they can love you in the midst of it.”
I know I’m That Guy™ , but it is possible to advocate for social reform without sweeping under the rug the very real tragedies and human rights violations that have existed under communist regimes
I get that this doesn’t fit your edgelord communist aesthetic but it costs $0 to reblog this and let your followers know you aren’t advocating to repeat the mistakes of the past
