Tumblr Tips
With new users coming and apparently actually following me, I figured I'd may as well make a master post of "Tumblr Tips" and "Tips for new users and returning users" posts I have been reblogging lately.
Edit: make sure to check my original version of this post, apparently the read more option no longer redirects people to the original full post from reblogs, so you won't see the additions. I've linked it in comments
This post was made when Twitter Refugees flooded tumblr, so it's mostly targeted to them. However!! Reddit immigrants will get a lot of use from it too! I'll be adding reddit specific stuff too as I find them. For now, here is the best and clearest "tips for reddit immigrants" post I've found. Welcome to tumblr
Can't believe I need this category; Tumblr Safety Tips:
Don't List Minor Status
Lurk Before You Post - my comment: Learn the site and culture before you post, you're less likely to poke a beehive that way
Listen to this or you will be mocked by locals
Don't give out your real name! + The benefits of primary and secondary blogs
Privacy: make your likes and follows private
A common scam going around - be careful! It'll pray on your kindness in your ask inbox
For Starting Out:
Starting info for Twitter Refugees
A handy guide for starting up - with diagrams!
How Not To Be Blocked By Every Tumblr User
SERIOUSLY. PLEASE GET A PROFILE PICTURE.
Why Locals Block Empty Blogs
Free Profile pictures if you're out of ideas: [x]
Etiquette - or shit that annoys locals to hell and back if you ignore these:
Don't censor shit - it's cringe and annoying and can be harmful
SERIOUSLY DONT CENSOR SHIT
bitesyoubitesyoubitesyou REBLOG SHIT
Abuse the tags but don't clog the tags - unrelated info tags are not cool
Tips to Improve Your Experience:
Terminology (Blorbo, plinko, some classic jokes, etc)
More terminology: Poor little meow meow vs blorbo
Different methods of interaction explained - reblogs, asks, DMs, replies, etc
XKit to improve your experience
Themes! Make your blog look great
Also you can change the site colour palette - I like a soft blue, some like black, some white, but there's more!!
Tumblr Tags: Don't Use Quotations "like this"
Remember; it's your blog
How to post mature (Eg: sexual) content
Folk Stories
Blocking:
Block without hesitation, for any reason
It's integral to curating your online experience
An example of reasons to block someone - yes your reason can be silly. I've blocked people for posting x reader fics, for shipping my notp, because i didn't like their AU. Not because I don't like them, or have anything against them, I just hate x reader fics in general, or didn't want to see my notp, or I just got tired of seeing their posts in a fandom tag. Rather than demanding they change, I changed how my tag looks to me. And that is responsible blocking. I also block racists, terfs, homophobes, etc. I blocked someone who was mean to me in replies. Do whatever to make your online experience good.
Misc:
FOR RETURNING USERS! We have new things!
Added to the above, here are some things people in the notes have added: Comments are a thing, clarification on tag filtering, seriously follow @/staff and @/changes
To concerned twitter artist refugees
Also! You can shorten posts like I have by adding a "read more" option. On website, make a new line and click the squiggly lone button. On mobile, type :readmore: then hit enter! Everything after that will be hidden under a nifty button. I recommend doing it! Especially for writing longer pieces!
How Tumblr Treats Celebrities and Popular blogs (If you're an influencer, prepare for hell. You'll get chased off if you try that here)

i agree with your system responsibility post on a general level, but to say it is "your self" that is doing it is not correct for all systems. i do wonder what you define "self" as, because every "self" in a system is a part or person, but you as a collective whole, whether adding up to singular or multiple, do need to have responsibility for hte system and body. it is your system and your body too.
I define “self” as multiple things. In the case of that post, your “self” is “the thing people collectively see as You — the singular entity that is Your Body walking around.”
There is no system, regardless of how they conceptualize themselves, that has successfully mitosised their body into multiple selves.
