This is your permission to block that person!

There is no stigma attached to blocking people on tumblr. I promise.

Listen, I promise you. You can just block them.

I have blocked someone because I don’t like their art style. Their art constantly shows up in a fandom tag I follow; so I blocked that user.

Someone I follow reblogs from someone I don’t want to see on my dash so I put their entire URL in my filtered terms/ blacklist.

There was an aesthetic blogger in a tag I frequent and I didn’t want their collages/ mood boards to clog up my search results. So I blocked them.

I promise you, you are allowed to filter out and/ or block people.

People don’t need to be bad, don’t need to be annoying, don’t need to “deserve” getting blocked.

You are allowed to block people for any reason whatsoever; including no reason at all.

love when people say fanfics are nasty and bad and cringe. love hearing one of my main hobbies be treated like something horrid and childish. looooove hearing people say they're disgusting and not real literature. this is such an enjoyable experience

Some of yall Hazbin and Helluva lovers need to start blocking and ignoring the haters. I see mamy complaints of complaints of the show being all you guys see.... and I'm sorry to tell you, but that's your algorithm. You've interacted w enough Viv haters that that's what tumblr thinks you want. My feeds are full of Hazbin and Helluva content, and I'm not seeing any of this trash about the shows or creator. When I do? Ignored and blocked.

#blocking is self care #stop interacting with them #its your own fault they show back uo after you destroy the hater in a comment #hazbin hotel #helluva boss #vivziepop

I block a lot of people on here not only for my blog and my posts but for the blogs and posts of the people I reblog from

If a fucking gross creep (derogatory) is following me and I rb someone's lewd pic or hornypost or what have you, and the creep sees it and uses that as an excuse to be a creep to the person I rb'd, it isn't mine or the person I'm following's fault that that person is being a piece of shit, but I can do something to help lower the chance of that shit happening, and I'm gonna do it whenever I can

Remember that blocking idiots on Tumblr is healthy and encouraged. Block that guy even if he's not bad, he just doesn't understand something you do and it's more okay to block than fight. You don't have to eat food you don't like, so why interact with someone/something you don't like on the Internet?

I just saw the most insane take on blocking.

Apparently, it's both abusive and ableist to block bigots because they might not understand social conventions and being blocked is upsetting.

Me:... have they tried not being racist?

I think most of us can agree that boundaries are valid and should be respected. If someone expresses a boundary, any respectful and respectable person will honor that boundary. Online boundaries are no different. Everyone has the right to refuse interactions with anyone for any reason, regardless of your own personal opinions or beliefs. A DNI list is a statement of a person's boundaries. If you ignore those boundaries, that person has the right to block you to enforce said boundaries, and you don't get to question it. You also don't have the right to apply your own exceptions to someone else's personal boundaries. "But they should care about this issue"—NO, that's your belief, if they were going to care about it they already would on their own terms. Forcing people to look at/read something you believe they should care about is not to get them to care about it, it's a direct and intentional disregard for the boundaries they set in order to piss them off because "if they're not going to care they're going to suffer for it". That is now harassment.

Welp, it happened.

I have posted before about how blocking content on tumblr has no stigma attached

You – yes, you, person reading this – are allowed to block whatever tags/ content you want

You don’t need to have a “reason”, you are allowed to block and filter content “just because” or “because I don’t want to see it”

Content does not need to trigger or squick you for you to be allowed to filter it

This post is officially your personal permission to filter out whatever content you would rather not see

And this includes filtering/ blocking “#current events” “#current news” “#global news”

You are allowed to exclude/ block out current world events from your tumblr experience

This does not mean you don’t care!

Yes, you are allowed to filter content “just because” or “because I don’t care”

But filtering exhausting and upsetting content does not imply you do not care!

Compassion fatigue is a real thing!

Especially if you (like me) follow several, multiple, a bunch of activist bloggers

There are global crises everywhere, I just read of 6 genocides happening which is precisely why I decided to finally block/ filter out those “current events” tags

How to filter in the tumblr app:

Go to your own blog >

click the little gear in the top corner >

General Settings >

scroll down >

just above “Color Palette” there it is >

Filtering

Type in whatever tags or words you want to not see in the future

This works for filtering out user-URLs too, if you have specific people you’d like not to see posts by

The “full text” filter will, however, 1) also look at the URL of the prev to who put it on your dash 2) ignores spaces in the post

Example 1: You follow “microplasdick” and you filtered “orange”; if the OP is called “orange-fishburne” your filter will hide that post; if the person microplasdick reblogged is “orange-cucumber” your filter will hide the post. Doesn’t matter if the word “orange” is not within the post itself

Example 2: You have filtered “orange” and a post goes “I also ran getting to my bus” – that post would get filtered because it contains “o ran ge” in that sequence

So “#tumblr is my safe space” and for that to stay true, you’re most definitely allowed to block out current events/ world news

Please take care <2
