A personal tip/advice from me, as I’ve witnessed at least 3 massive twitter “exoduses” since last year, and the pattern’s been the same: people flee to tumblr, panic-post for a few days, twitter goes “back to normal”, people cease their tumblr activity, return when shit inevitably hits the fan again, and complain about the lack of activity. So, no matter what happens to twitter next, I encourage you to keep posting if you’re a content creator looking to (re)build a platform. Just stay active and be happy when your longterm commitment has paid off. IT WILL.
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
