You have the option to turn on and off asks, submissions, DM’s, and anonymous messages. For CC’s I would highly recommend disabling all of these options until you’re open to chat with fans.
Your blog automatically has a section for posts you liked and who you follow. It’s ultimately useless, because nobody will see your likes and follows anyway on their dash. Turn it off because we all value our privacy here.
Tumblr is unlike Twitter and Instagram because it is mainly a sharing platform. Reblogs and comments in the tags are highly encouraged. Likes only add to the notes but are not an effective way to engage.
Download xKit to make your life easier. It’s an add-on that helps with accessibility on Tumblr.
You also have the option in settings to disable “endless scroll” on your blog and dashboard. This helps a lot with accessibility, since endless scroll can cause lag on your dash, unlike how it is on Twitter. Once you disable it, your blog and dashboard will be sectioned off into pages instead. It can help you keep track of where you are.
If you want to keep your blog organized for people to browse through, tag your stuff. Use personal tags, fandom tags, warning tags, etc… They’re extremely helpful for everyone involved.
Reposting and claiming other people’s content is highly discouraged!
There’s no ratio here. There’s no proper comment section. You ain’t gonna ratio anybody. However you can publicly mock them and drag their ass on their own post if it’s funny to do so.
Boundaries are extremely important! Keep that in mind as you navigate this website. This is not the place where you can just tell everybody about yourself like on other social media platforms. Having privacy and boundaries helps more than anything else. Since we’re all effectively anonymous here, feel free to block tags and people if you feel uncomfortable.
The most important thing is to have fun. Good luck and stay safe!
Reblogging this for the oncoming new wave of twitter to tumblr migration.
in 2010, a camp counselor goon logged on to the somethingawful forums asking for help with the zipline he build from scratch, and with no engineering knowledge, that didn’t seem to be working right. when he tested it with a sandbag, it continued to gather speed during the entirety of the 143 foot drop (19 degree slope) until it slammed into the wooden platform at the bottom at a speed of 65mph, presumably creating a child paste that would have to be scraped off to be sent home. there were pictures.
groverhaus and the child-annihilating zipline are classics of post and we will never forget them
too bad the zipline isn’t as famous. the fucked-up bathroom has even gained more traction than the child-exploding summer camp zipline. there is no justice
i love this but DON’T denigrate the fucked up bathroom that’s a legend
I’m sorry, y’all are selling RIPline (The Machine to Kill Children) short, so I need to bring in YouTuber and generally amazing person Dan Olson in to sum this up for me
And some visual aides
Someone tell the OSHAs about this.
That bathroom is missing the best part of it. He needed to make the bathtub a bit deeper, so he deepened it by…
Cutting the tops of the wooden I-beams under the floor:
That’s right, he compromised the floor EXACTLY where 300 to 500 (130 to 227kg) lbs of water and human were going to go.
