Finally just unfollowed Mashable on Tumblr.

soupsoup:

virtualephemera:

I should have done it a long time ago. Their auto-link-dump contributes nothing to the community. They’re supposed to be the big tech experts. Why don’t they get that Tumblr is not just an RSS feed?

The only reason I was still following them was laziness. So glad I finally removed them from my dashboard. I feel like a two-ton weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

They have a more “authentic” tumblr at MashableHQ.com

The fact I have to point this out shows they’re not doing a very good job at making this clear.

If I could offer Mashable some advice, kill that RSS dump and mirror MashableHQ.com at mashable.tumblr.com

Mashable is supposed to be run by “social media experts” I shouldn’t have to explain this to them.
