Welcome, and good luck with that! Which Norse folks do you like to work with?

[changelingxcharms]

It's been fluctuating a lot lately, in general its mostly been Loki, O∂inn, Hel, and Ska∂i.

Welcome to DW!

Hey Max :) I'm also leaving Tumblr, like... so many others here, lol. I'm really feeling the loss of the pagan community on the site; it was one of the more developed ones that I've seen, outside Facebook.

Tumblr was my main form of social media for a very long time and, although I rather not leave my various communities, we also cannot safely or comfortably stay there anymore. The nice thing about leaving though is finding places where there are less right wingers, or at least places where they are dealt with more effectively.
We'll get through it. It'll take time, but communities will rebuild elsewhere.

I agree; I felt deeply uncomfortable with the far right openly having a platform on Tumblr, and after it became clear Staff wasn't going to do anything about it, I felt almost morally wrong using the site. It's nice to find new places, though, and it's always exciting to try new platforms out. And like you said, new communities will pop up, given time.
