One thing that you can do for now, along with complaining to @staff about the safe mode directly, is to actually click on posts that are filtered and if you scroll down below the post it’ll say ‘Help us out—is this sensitive content?’ with a ‘Yup’ and ‘Nope’ button. See image:

Click the ‘Nope’ button for anything that should not be filtered.

Obviously this presents a problem because in order to be able to do this, you have to be over 18, as users under 18 don’t have the option to override the filter and see the post anyways. But it might be a good idea for some of us good tumblr citizens over age 18 to a) enable the sensitive content filter (safe mode) for now in order to see what’s being blocked and b) actively try to fix mistakenly flagged posts by marking them as not sensitive. If tumblr gets enough reports that their sensitive content filter isn’t working correctly, and exactly what is being incorrectly flagged as sensitive (it’s not just lgbt stuff, there seem to be a lot of random posts getting swept up in the filter), that can help them fix it faster.

@staff while i understand that taking precautions and hiding some specific content is reasonable, i believe that taking it to this level of censorship is outrageous. i’ve always prized tumblr’s freedom and looseness over other social media sites, and this is directly affecting the idea of tumblr as a whole. yes, the safe mode may be a good idea as to solving this issue of filtering content, but i don’t believe that implementing permanent safe mode is a good idea, especially when the large majority of tumblr users are under eighteen. i would suggest an alternative solution to this problem, perhaps blocking certain tags or keeping the safe mode but removing the ageist restrictions. thank you.
