DISMISS option!

One of the perils of tumblr surrendering to an algorithm based system, and not defaulting to tags and prefs like we'd like, we're now drowning in a lot of content we DON'T WANT TO SEE ALL THE TIME, or ever.

When we look at a single post and like it, suddenly we're bombarded in "FOR YOU" with 900 posts on the same vein of that like, when all we wanted was maybe one or two posts. Now we're in an obsessive pile of that one thing overtaking our suggestions and feed. Or worse! We click on a blog or post to block/blacklist it permanently, because we hate it. Because...sometimes we need to actually look at the OP's tags and posts in order to hide the content specifically and effectively. But OOPS! We just created a "tick" that tells tumblr's "genius" algorithm that we want to see a ton of the very thing we blocked.

I guess you can block an entire blog, but why do that when it's JUST THE CONTENT you don't want to see in your suggestions and feed? If you don't have XKit Rewritten Post Block--which erases a post forever from your view--I just found out we have a "dismiss" option. Some of you may already know about this, but it was news to me because I am so annoyed with the extras and bs programming on tumblr, I tend to not see the GOOD stuff in the midst of all the useless changes. This is one of the good options, like the tag editing additions.

Tap those 3 dots on the post you don't care to see.

BOOM. It's out of your hair without actually blocking or blacklisting. Now the dumbass algorithm is told to take a chill pill and back off.
