Really beginning to prefer Tumblr to Twitter purely on the basis that when I say something like, for example:
We should feed every frame of Disney into AI art generators
Most people on Tumblr will immediately understand that I am not suggesting it as some sort of actual, workable long-term solution to the problem of independent artists’ work being stolen
I am suggesting it as a goblin curse to make the lives of both the talentless artist-disrespecting AI art scumbags and the soulless corporate parasites at Disney very difficult and miserable, and people on Tumblr immediately get that
Posted the same thing to Twitter and I almost immediately got someone dissecting the tweet as “being indicative of how left-wing creatives will try to side with corporations when the subject of copyright comes up”
Twitter: The enemy of my enemy must be my friend.
Tumblr: The enemy of my enemy is a convenient patsy, and probably a chump.
Twitter: I’ll side with the devil if it helps me beat my enemy
tumblr: I’ll force the devil to fight my enemy and watch from the sidelines as they kill each other
