#avoiding certain content

[salt-is-a-terrible-currency]

If I have recently unfollowed you, please don’t be mad at me. There are certain things that I

a) don’t want all over my feed at all times. If I want to see it I will look it up myself

b) don’t want to see at all, because they might trigger me

And yes there is the option for filtrering tags but that only works as long as people actually tag their posts. I have 20+ tags filtered but they've made almost no difference: my feed is still drowning in things that make me uncomfortable. I get that it is difficult to tag everything that might be sensitive and I get that people sometimes forget to do it. That’s why I've chosen to unfollow some blogs.

So I know you don’t like a certain SW ship and I try really hard to always tag it. Just wanted you to know you’re one of the people I think about when tagging things! :) it’s just sooo hard sometimes, but hey if you have to unfollow people for your own sanity or to keep yourself in check, you gotta do it. I still love you! :D

I appreciate that you think of me <3

I totally understand that it’s difficult to remember to tag everything, I don’t always manage to do that myself so I’m not going to jump down the throat of anyone who slips up every now and then. Really my issue is with people who know that their content is triggering but simply do not care about tagging it because they think others are being sensitive or whatever. Not to mention people who get pissed when their follower count suddenly drops because not everyone wants to have their feed filled with whatever that blog is posting.

Love you too :)
