Tumblr is a social media platform that gained popularity in the 2010s. Users maintain blogs (potentially multiple per account) that allow them to publish original posts as well as "reblogging" others' posts. Reblogs function similarly to Twitter's "retweet" function but allow optional additions to the post body (which are displayed under the original posts) or to tags (displayed only on the reblogger's blog). This allows multiple discussions to branch off from an original post.
