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

I find myself in a situation where I want to avoid seeing all Tumblr posts with a particular tag, which I'll call "Tag A", except those that are also tagged with another tag that I'll call "Tag B".
There isn't a way to make this exception using Tumblr's tag filtering, which is all about specifying things you don't want to see and nothing about what you do want to see. If I set a filter to block Tag A, all posts with that tag will be hidden.
But there is, I've just realised, something I can do to help the situation. It's a bit counterintuitive:
I can make posts with Tag B more visible by also blocking Tag B.
When Tumblr hides a filtered post, it leaves a placeholder which lists the filters that apply to the post. If I set a filter for Tag B, then the placeholder will tell me if Tag B is on the post, and I can choose to view the post, while still bypassing any posts that only have Tag A.
(In the specific situation where I came up with this, Tag B never appears on posts that don't also have Tag A. If you have a situation where a significant number of posts have only Tag B, you might need to look for a different approach.)

People aren't tagging Goncharov and the site is unusable! (or, how to filter post content)
First, hit your gear button and go to Account Settings.
In Account Settings, go to Content You See.
Here at the top is an option to filter tags, but scroll down and you will see Filtered Post Content.
This filters text found anywhere in a post, not just tags.
Add Goncharov and bam. Filtered.

Just so people feel less scrutinised (oh, the irony), I've filtered out the tags "daisy tonner" and "do not archive" on here.

In regards to the new filter options, reminder to perform the usual ancient tumblr rites:
-Hear about a new feature through various conflicting posts instead of a public announcement
-Check in your settings if you got the feature too (it's not always there yet) to see if they just turned that shit on to max by default (if it is there, it always is)
-Then turn it off
(Or leave it on/customize, but the point is to always check if they just snuck something in there that alters your dash without you realizing. While you're there, also turn off "best stuff first" unless you like Facebook)

Oh hey! Tumblr lets you filter content IN posts now! Super great since no one likes actually using tags. Let’s see....politics, trump, donald trump......
.......my own religion............
............fuck, I can’t just filter ‘America’ because Cora Crawley’s American.........
..............or ‘men’.............
...........I wonder if I’d lose any decent Downton content if I just filtered ‘white people’?
...
Pity you can’t just filter “People hating on people they feel entitled to not like”.

You want to just be happy and vibe with your silly otp's and your favorite head canons without seeing negative opinions about them? Enjoy the fandom community on this hellsite and not feel judged for your favorite rare pairs, terms of endearment or tropes? Avoid the drama when different parts of fandom have a disagreement?
Trust me on this...use the filtering option tumblr so helpfully provides. Filtering the terms discourse and unpopular opinion has been a blessing, seriously. Tumblr tells you when a post is being filtered, and you have the option to see it. But if you're not in the right mental headspace to see shit like that it's such a helpful buffer.
