#reblog this if you're so fucking tired of everyone treating tumblr like every other social media platform out there

Reblogs

So, I think that everyone on tumblr should just take a week to reblog all of the things that they liked. Because it seems that a majority of tumblr users don't know how to fucking reblog something. Reblogging things helps get shit out there, whether it be a post that could save lives, some great art, or a random shitpost. I know that the last week in every month from now on, I'm going to dedicate that to mainly reblogs, I'm starting this for me next month.

Right, just to make this clear:

Reblogs are better than likes

I get not reblogging everything you come across the minute you come across it, but reblogging really gets shit out there. But I know with especially my artwork and my story telling, I would prefer it if people reblogged those instead of just liking them

If the blog you are using isn't one you want to reblog stuff on, that's fine. Just make another blog somewhat or mainly dedicated to reblogging.

Reblogging shit helps out artists, writers, and literally everyone else.

If someone doesn't want you to reblog something of theirs they can turn off reblogs, so don't worry about that.

This is not like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok, etc. Likes do almost nothing. Likes are fine and dandy and I give out likes too, but to help get whatever it is out there, you need to reblog it! I end up liking stuff so I can reblog it later, and then I completely forget about it.

Reblogs are different than reposts

You might be scared to reblog something, because you thought it was the same thing as reposting something(I know I used to.) They aren't the same

Reblogs still give credit to the person who originally posted that. Reposts is taking someone's work and passing it off as your own.

When you reblog something you will see your username and there will be a little rectangle, made of two arrows pointing at each other and then the username of the person you reblogged the post from. The first message will contain the username of the person who made the original post. If this is not what you see when you've reblogged something, that means that you're doing it wrong.

Other Reblog stuff

When you reblog something, you don't have to say something else or even put tags if you don't want to. If you end up changing your mind you can reblog the post again with what you want to say and what tags you're going to use. You can also edit it if you want, but another reblog would be more helpful.

Remember, you can always go back and view your likes and reblog them whenever. I know my likes are just filled up because my brain was like 'future reblog' when I pressed that little heart.

Absolutely roasting someone is okay and even encouraged in most circumstances

To reblog something there is a botton that looks like a rectangle with two arrows pointing at eachother. You just hit that, say what you want to say and/or tag it, or not. And click reblog.

Reblog this if you too will take even just a day out of a month to reblog your likes, or if you want to get it out there that people on tumblr need to start actually fucking using tumblr!

Oh and just incase it escaped the people who came here from other social media platforms:

Tumbler is not like other social media platforms, so don't treat it like it is. Here's how it works, you post random shit and reblog random shit. DO NOT REPOST.
