It wasn’t destroyed by fandoms, they were there from the start. It is relatively good now in the post-2016 era, after the original main demographic of early Gen Z girls matured. Heritage Posts is a good source for learning about tumblr history.

It can be amusing to check into it sometimes, but you never wanted to be there anyways.
...... those are the major websites that it consolidated in to.
go on gemini if you want something that resembles the old internet
What is that?
