#blocked blogs

[synsick]

It maybe petty but I will BLOCK you if your blog is corny like:

1. If you got them old early 2000's perv memes:

POST NONSENSE LIKE THAT BLOCKED 🚫

2. If you make or reblog things like:

"Can your followers send you nudes" or "can I send you nudes"... BLOCKED 🚫

3. If your whole blog is black & white and you call every woman "kitty/kitten/princess" or you call yourself "daddy" ...BLOCKED 🚫

DID I BLOCK YOU?

If you're new to Tumblr and find that I've inadvertently blocked you – my apologies! 😬

Part of Tumblr culture is that blogs with no content (i.e., no posts, no reblogs), no description, and that only use the standard headers and icons – are read as BOTS. And the standard protocol here is to block such accounts immediately if they follow you.

Bots make use of Tumblr's "Like" and "Reblog" features to give their makers' sites – usually porn sites – legitimacy and traffic, which helps to make them more visible on Google and attract more income. And most Tumblr users don't want to contribute to that. There is also the danger of downloading malware if you happen to click on any links in a bot-driven Tumblr blog.

But Tumblr users have only recently found out (in the past week or so) that Tumblr admin now makes new blogs follow other blogs first before the account becomes fully active. And this increases the risk of your blog being misidentified as a bot, if you haven't personalized it by dropping the blog-standard header and background, and adding a description.

So if yours is not a porn blog, but I've got you blocked – please understand that it probably happened because in its early days your account looked like a bot-driven one. Just send me an Ask (with the name of your blocked blog) to explain your situation and I'll unblock you. You'd have to send that Ask using another blog, however – Asks sent from a blocked blog, even if anonymous, won't be received. (But please update your blocked blog with a non-standard icon and a personalized description beforehand, otherwise you'll just look like a bot sending out a standard message and most of us will still be wary of unblocking.)

Apologies if this happened to you! Welcome to Tumblr; this kind of wacky weirdness is just par for the course in the ecology here! 💖

So…apparently blogs that you’ve blocked can still @ you, but because you’ve blocked them you get the notification but can’t see the post.

This is a problem, @staff @support

Blocked blogs shouldn’t be able to do this. It’s why they’re blocked.

There’s a couple people that I’ve blocked that I’m considering unblocking. I’ve looked through their blogs several tímese since then, and I have found nothing since the first few times that are related to why I block them.

It would also be easier since both of them are mutuals with one of my mutuals. Also one of them seems to like my Revived Eclipse AU and had interacted with the blog a few times before I blocked them. They probably still interact with it but I haven’t seen it lol

Why you not a triangle yet? You nasty

Good Morning Dear Friend.

Analytics and probability.

This is why I love Math. It always makes sense💡

The higher your follower count , the higher the probability that your content will be monitored on social media .

Big brother is always watching .

You can bet your sweet ass on that .Americans live in a fallacy world of free speech , but it is not really true .

Free speech is actually limited .

The higher your follower count , the more you are seen as an influencer (no matter your content).

When I first joined Tumblr I gained followers fairly quickly . Once I reached 15k followers the Tumblr wheels started spinning . This means I could not post .

Having a subversive blog (porn, politics, etc) increases your chance of being removed as well💡

Amstaff had much more followers and could not post shit either .

By happenstance I started blocking . Once I lowered to 4K , the post button stopped spinning .

I loved this YouTuber who was very awesome . Extremely liberal. She use to call out makeup brands for overpriced , poor substandard makeup ingredients.

She was a fiesty little blonde girl in college . Like me , she gave zero fucks , and said the hard things .

Eventually YouTube started demonetizing her ( blocked her content/could not receive pay ) . She was unable to post anything without being harassed.

Eventually she left social media all together . She knew. 😔

This is why most social influencers always post happy shit , that is frankly contrived...imo.

I began Covid -19 posting inside medical info .

The medical community here told me to stop , because blogs are read.

The point is , high follower count makes you a social influencer.

Your content (no matter what it is )has a higher probability of being monitored , removed , whatever .

There are many other factors to be clear , but that is the big idea .

Improve your grammar and expand your knowledge.

Stay woke .

Best Wishes💫

So how many of y’all still have blocked blogs here?

I still haven’t been able to access my other blog (inhalefluffexhalesmut) since last year in December. I know yes it’s my fault that I accidentally self-marked it explicit but, none of my posts violate new Tumblr regulations. I have submitted two requests so far(one was for the day they did the change the other in January of this year) for it to be unmarked and all I get is the Zendesk robot telling me to wait and no other response since then. I could easily make another blog but I don’t want to do that and I shouldn’t have to either.
