Earlier post
So, Iâve seen a ton of Twitter users talking about making and sharing their new tumblr blogs, to escape Elon Muskâs âanti censorshipâ bullshittery. First of all: welcome! I know itâs looking bleak over there; especially for trans people. But, now that youâre here, Iâm here to tell you all about tumblr etiquette, how this website works, and how itâs different from Twitter. Because you canât come onto here acting like itâs Twitter, lest The Beast get to you.
First, here are a small handful of tips and tumblr facts!
Your likes and who you are following are automatically set to public. You can make them private in your settings!
You can block tags from the settings, too.
There are lots of bots on here. If youâre not careful, you could be mistaken for one! The main way you can avoid this is changing your icon and header from the defaults. Adding a bio helps too!
You can queue and schedule posts so that your account posts throughout the day.
Like Twitter, tumblr has a radical feminist and TERF problem. However, theyâre pretty easy to spot. There are lots of guides out there to help you learn how to spot tumblr TERFs!
Tumblr, for the most part, does not have any celebrity or brand accounts.
Your tumblr follower count is private.
You can have multiple accounts with the same email, and theyâre very easy to switch between! These are called âsideblogsâ.
Your main page is not a âtimelineâ. It is a âdashboardâ!
You can have a custom desktop theme using HTML! Think like ye olde MySpace days. There are tons of pre-made tumblr themes available, if youâre not already proficient in HTML; including free ones!
Now, letâs talk tumblr etiquette and how itâs different from Twitter. Youâre a tumblr user now! Itâs time to start acting like it!
Donât just like posts. They donât increase visibility whatsoever. The way that you can help posts that you like is reblogging them to your blog. Especially for art!
We donât say âoomfsâ or âoomfiesâ. Just âmutualsâ is fine, thanks!
Adding onto a post with pointless comments is frowned upon. If all you have to say it âthis is so true,â or something else to that effect, you should put that in the tags of your reblog.
Most people donât have carrds or rentries on here. Some of us do, but itâs not an obligation like it is for Twitter.
Similarly, we donât censor words like âdieâ and âdeathâ. Posts about wanting to brutally murder people in power go viral all the time, and itâs completely allowed. Iâm serious! Enjoy your newfound freedom!
Blocking isnât a big deal here. Get rid of any weird notion you have that morality is linked to blocking certain people.
But lastly, and most importantly:
Drop your discourse at the door.
If you try to post about most of the things that Twitter users discourse about, you will be laughed off the site. Especially Twitter LGBT+ discourse. Posts actively mocking topics of Twitter discourse go viral on here regularly.
Tumblr has mostly healed since its discourse-ridden days, and itâs now much more chill. Of course, discourse still happens, but it is so easy to avoid now. For a lot of us, tumblr is the last pleasant social media site left, so donât ruin it.
Here is a list of discourse-related things that tumblr users donât do:
Most of us donât do callout posts, unless itâs something actually serious (like that one blog that had a human slave).
Everything that you heard on Twitter was âexclusiveâ to certain LGBT+ groups is used by just about everyone on here. Bi women use the double venus symbol on here. Youâll just have to learn to live with that.
In particular, I want to emphasize how much we donât do flag discourse. To the point that somebody caring about flag discourse of any kind is how we tend to identify an ex-Twitter user.
On here, you will never have to see another slur discourse post again, unless you actively seek it out.
Youâre free.
Youâre welcome. And enjoy your time on here!
literally most things that people write off as just âtexturesâ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say âitâs just random tumblr posts they donât careâ but you wouldnât want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, youâre using images that youâre not allowed to use without realizing it.
you see it on here a lot especially in (i wonât link anything but iâm sure you know what i mean) those album track âaestheticsâ posts, au âaestheticâ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of âtextureâ elements. and texture packs too!! thatâs often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???
SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use
creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week
search âfreebieâ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts
mockup zone freebies
unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos
pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice
pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!
as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.
dont play defense
