#twitter refugees

[gayshitanddadjokes]

despite staff's recent changes, we're... winning??????

[lastoneout]

friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:

change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot

this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)

you can set your likes and follows to private

checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing

follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric

drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally

DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!

tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7

be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3

suggestions for new artists

- have two blogs, one where you only post your art and another fandom blog where you reblog not only your art to but also reblog and interact with others

- tags only matter for SEO and fandom, so there is no reason to tag #art and #pixel art for example

- tag posts to be searchable for your own blog, keep the same tagging system too so people can easily sort your posts

- use the queue feature to post things at optimal times

- reblog yourself (and tag #srb or #self-bost accordingly for people who block it)

- one to two pieces of art per post

- Tumblr loves sketches and throw away art, just post it on its own instead of doing a sketch dump

- have a pinned post telling people what tags can be searched in your blog to find your art, your fandoms, your OCS, and anything else that might be relevant

Ok some more bullshit for twitter refugees who need to learn the Tumblr Etiquettetm

Change your blog icon. Do not leave it as Tumblr default bc you will be seen as bots. Also helps if you change your URL to something fandom related/unhinged. urls like sarah-x-lynn will cause people to think you are a bot and block you

There's no algorithm. Whatever pops up on your dash is yours to deal with. Unfollow/block people as you please.

Again, there's no algorithm. The content on this site is user-circulated. Abuse the reblog button.

Abuse the tags. If there's something you wanna say on a post but don't want to intrude, use the tags.

Follower numbers don't matter here

There's no character limit on posts or in blog descriptions. You can post the bee movie script 50 times if you want. Go ham

This isn't twitter or tik tok or whatever. There's no need to censor yourself. Outright admit you want to kill a us senator, no one will judge you.

If you're gonna trigger tag something, don't censor it. Don't use like #r/pe tw use #rape tw

Lastly, don't be a dick to people. Abuse the block button for all it's worth.

We should all be allowed to vote on if a given celebrity is allowed to make a tumblr. Like an election ballot goes out every six months to each tumblr blog older than four years (obviously the voting age of a tumblr blog) with a list of celebs who’ve applied to be on tumblr and we go down the list and check yes or no… and if we don’t have enough votes on a given celebrity, like if too many people abstain cause they don’t have an opinion, than we leave the decision up to the only celebrity we can trust on this app… Neil Gaiman.
