This chapter mapped how tumblr has been built, the features and functions that enable bloggers to create, post, reblog, and interact with each other, as well as how tumblr is governed and how bloggers are managed by the platform. In our research, our participants have continued to stress that tumblr is a unique platform, distinct from others that enact more punitive or restrictive moderation (even following tumblr’s porn ban) or those that demand particular identifications or self-presentation based on real names and individual profiles. In the following chapter, we pick up this line of inquiry to map how tumblr bloggers’ perceptions and uses of the platform birthed a variety of cultures, a recognizable vernacular, a shared sensibility, and a very specific form of sociality.
