so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
how can people not like cats. they literally have little paws
Okay so musky bought Twitter, so we can probably expect some new tumblr people to crop up. I’d just like to say some words.
Please use the app as it is supposed to be used. Know that the algorithm here does not exist like other sites. This means that you create or follow the content you want to see, you share the content you want others to see. No one will be stalking your likes even if you have them public. Reblogs are the way to go. If you feel awkward reblogging, get used to it or go somewhere else. Reblogs are ALWAYS appreciated unless otherwise explicitly stated.
Also. You may not be used to this, but tumblr blogs are so fun and super customizable. You are highly encouraged to do this, because most tumblr users will block blank blogs / not-customized blogs on sight. Have fun getting to know the freedom of having a whole website to customize for yourself! Or 100! Side blogs are fun for that too!
Or you can just leave the theme as is and just have a different pfp / header just like anywhere else. No one will judge you.
TLDR; reblog posts you like, customize your blog, interact with the communities you’re entering. Otherwise, you may find that you’ll be blocked seemingly at random.
If you have any questions about how anything works, ask!!! If no one else is gonna answer, I will 🤷 welcome to tumblr
So, I’ve seen a ton of Twitter users talking about making and sharing their new tumblr blogs, to escape Elon Musk’s “anti censorship” bullshittery. First of all: welcome! I know it’s looking bleak over there; especially for trans people. But, now that you’re here, I’m here to tell you all about tumblr etiquette, how this website works, and how it’s different from Twitter. Because you can’t come onto here acting like it’s Twitter, lest The Beast get to you.
First, here are a small handful of tips!
Your likes and following are automatically set to public. You can make them private in your settings!
You can block tags from the settings, too.
There are lots of bots on here. If you’re not careful, you could be mistaken for one! The main way you can avoid this is changing your icon and header from the defaults.
You can queue and schedule posts so that your account posts throughout the day.
Now, let’s talk tumblr etiquette and how it’s different from Twitter. You’re a tumblr user now! It’s time to start acting like it!
Don’t just like posts. They don’t increase visibility whatsoever. The way that you can help posts that you like is reblogging them to your blog. Especially for art!
We don’t say “oomfs” or “oomfies”. Just “mutuals” is fine, thanks!
Adding onto a post with pointless comments is frowned upon. If all you have to say it “this is so true,” or something else to that effect, you should put that in the tags of your reblog.
Most people don’t have carrds or rentries on here. Some of us do, but it’s not an obligation like it is for Twitter.
Similarly, we don’t censor words like “die” and “death”. Posts about wanting to brutally murder people in power go viral all the time, and it’s completely allowed. I’m serious! Enjoy your newfound freedom!
Blocking isn’t a big deal here. Get rid of any weird notion you have that morality is linked to blocking certain people.
But lastly, and most importantly:
Drop your discourse at the door.
If you try to post about most of the things that Twitter users discourse about, you will be laughed off the site. Especially LGBT+ discourse. Posts actively mocking topics of Twitter discourse go viral on here regularly.
Tumblr has healed since its discourse-ridden days, and it’s now very chill. For a lot of us, it’s the last pleasant social media site left, so don’t ruin it.
Here is a list of discourse-related things that tumblr users don’t do:
We don’t do callout posts, unless it’s something actually serious (like that one blog that had a human slave).
Everything that you heard on Twitter was “exclusive” to certain LGBT+ groups is used by just about everyone on here. Bi women use the double venus symbol on here. You’ll just have to learn to live with that.
In particular, I want to emphasize how much we don’t do flag discourse. To the point that somebody caring about flag discourse of any kind is how we tend to identify an ex-Twitter user.
On here, you will never have to see another slur discourse post again, unless you actively seek it out.
You’re free.
You’re welcome. And enjoy your time on here!
Just as you found this post, may you find money flowing effortlessly into your life from henceforward.
Blessed are you who read this. Manifest the receiving an abundance of money now. As the universe has been good to you, be good to another. Bless a friend and bless a stranger.
Reblog to cast and pass the blessing!
@cultofbeatle saw this and thought of geo
A version for tumblr that can be read without opening a new tab, since plenty of people would scroll past this story otherwise.
