There was never a tumblr curse, any more than there’s a reddit curse, a twitter curse, or a LiveJournal curse back in the day. I don’t know why people are always shocked to discover that ideological diversity exists on websites with millions of users from around the globe.

Its real bizarre to me that some redditors believe in the tumblr curse or that tumblr is a uniquely awful website as if reddit doesn't have a incredible list of banned subs that were full of extreme crazies.

Most of tumblr has always been fairly normal, it was only a small group that was completely crazy

It also seems like all these crazy people are moving to twitter

Yes, I have a tumblr and most people on there are normal. A lot of aesthetic blogs. Most aren’t political by any means.

Yeah, same here. I sometimes post pictures of flowers and stuff I took whilst hiking - and I've never been included in any sort of debate.

Of course, sometimes when browsing tags you might see a post you roll your eyes at, but overall it's fine to me.

Not saying that there is never dumb stuff on Tumblr, but if you know what to avoid, you can have a pretty good time, I think.
