i’d honestly rather people shamelessly steal my gifs than do the half-assed “all credit goes to the owners 💓” bullshit. it just shows that you’re aware it’s shitty to steal other peoples work but still can’t be bothered with the 2 seconds it takes to type out their url.

Hi I just wanted to let you know that in my heart of hearts I liked and reblogged your catboy neitzsche post. In a kinder world I would actually like and reblog most of your posts; I’m just too afraid to like and reblog loveless stuff bc I got dogpiled back in 2014 for lovelessblogging and I’m still not brave enough to risk going through that again. I admire your posts from afar like I’m a person who is excited to visit a petting zoo but who also has a deathly phobia of actually touching alpacas

ahahahuaha awww thank you anon that's very sweet! i was gonna say "what uninitiated onlooker could possibly know that catboy nietzsche is related to loveless" but then i remembered. um. my url. lmfao

i'm sorry you got ur ass beat in 2014 tho 😔 you could always make a sideblog? that's what this is for me haha. i've had an Incident On Main many years ago too though i've never had enough clout to be someone who people care enough to dogpile on (thankfully) but i was able to explain it by basically spoiling loveless, though i think doing that does require someone willing to engage with you in good faith and unfortunately there's something about loveless that makes a lot of people just shut off their brains and start screaming which. tbh to me personally is preferable to people just being like uhhhhhhhhh this is fine actually. maybe even hot 🙄 to some degree but....... i won't deny that it isn't extremely. um. aggravating. i do still mention loveless offhand on main sometimes (very rarely) but i do it in like a. idk how to explain it. way that mentions bullshit that makes it Sound Deep in a way onlookers can immediately parse so people are forced to engage if they want to yell at me about it LMFAO

people need to stop making good posts un-reblog-able. Anyway, you should read this post about feminine rage and why it's maybe not a great idea to adhere to.

So I'm sure almost everyone knows about the porn bot problem by now, so here's a post detailing why it's a problem, and what we need to do about it.

First off, yes, always block the porn bots. Don't be mislead into thinking they're ok to keep around because they 'inflate your follower count.'

Firstly, no one cares about, nor can anyone even see, your follower count. Be free from the shackles that are the bullshit other socials told you was important. Don't let your ego be tied to a number. Having a lot of followers won't earn you any clout here.

Secondly, bots only follow blogs to try and legitimize their malware (and other dodgy) links. This post goes into more detail about that.

Now that that's out of the way, you'll need to know how to recognize a porn bot. This round the template seems to be:

A profile photo of a pretty lady or guy, usually in their underwear, with a similar header photo.

A bio with some combination of: [Age] // [Name] // [Location] // [Emoji] // [Top Bullshit% OnlyFans]

URL consisting of a name followed by a number (i.e: firstlast999)

Typically an empty blog, or if there is content, it's all dodgy links. Visible, but empty, Likes Tab, & occasionally a visible Following Tab.

You likely recognize the pattern.

So, what you want to do is, first, report the blog as spam On mobile it'll look like this:

On mobile you'll need to report spam first, and then go back to the menu again to block.

On desktop it will look like this, and unlike mobile, you'll be able to report spam and block in the same motion:

If I remember correctly,* be sure to "Report Spam", not "Report sexually explicit material" to feed the bots to the proper channels. Because the blog is empty, they haven't posted anything explicit that would violate TOS. However, staff can recognize a bot, and if you report the blog for spam (the actual problem) they'll take a look, more than likely find that the blog is posting or DMing dodgy links, and dispose of it.

And I think that's it. Here's wishing you all a happy and safe blogging experience!

[UPDATE: It was suggested on another post that the bots track your IP if you click on them to send more your way. However, someone from staff corrected and said this is incorrect. They also corrected the 'guilt by association' myth that bots following you can get your blog flagged by tumblr.

That said, that trail all led to another, easier, way to report/block the bots all from your Follower Tab instead of visiting each blog separately, unfortunately it only works on desktop:

(For newbies, click on the little person icon at the top right of your screen and scroll to find the Followers tab under the blog/sideblog you need to block a pornbot from.)

*I remember this information from a blog that used to be all about taking down the pornbots. Unfortunately I do not know if that blog is still active, nor can I remember the URL. If anyone knows what blog I'm referring to, and/or if they're still active, please feel free to tag them so others can follow them for more tips!
