I’ve seen it a bunch today—
Friendly reminder everybody that right now due to a tumblr bug, if you delete a side blog you will delete your main blog and ALL of your blogs.
Don’t do it by accident! 💚💚💚

It just takes a second to turn on "Prevent third-party sharing" for AI training:
On Desktop: "Blog Settings" then scroll almost all the way down
On Mobile: Click the Settings gear icon, scroll down to "Visibility"
Repeat for each main or secondary blog

okayokay i just made a new tumblr account to see what they've changed (besides the "for you" being default.), and they are totally pushing it more than an old user would realize
im logged into this account in one tab and the new one in the other and tumblr is REALLY confused and im not sure where this will post but thats besides the point.
anyways when you sign up it gives you this
Tumblr media
which is very comparable to sites/apps like pinterest and tiktok that have a personalized algorithm. when you scroll down its just random shit like Automobiles and Education. this is not pinterest. it censors stuff like sex but does NOT censor stuff like 'pee kink' . Notably!
Tumblr media
anyways i picked some very normal interests (random shit i could think of, i left pee kink because Haha Funny) .
Tumblr media
it then forces you to follow people! there is NOT a search, just a few trending users. it makes you pick 3 out of 10 users, one of them is the merch account, at least for me.
Tumblr media
once you go into the actual website it looks like this! note 'for you' being default. there is NOT an option that i see to change this. this is what i was trying to look at before i ran into all the other shit haha.
time to go turn off tumblr live again ! ^^ ((tumblr fix your goddamn site
NOTE SINCE THIS HAS GOTTEN ATTENTION - I have made 2 tumblr accounts before this one (in 2019 and 2021 i believe ?) and I don't remember this in the sign up process - however, my memory is also dogshit, so please do not sue me

Here's how to Disable Third Parties (Like AI Companies) from Looking At Your Shit. A Comprehensible Guide.
Tumblr media
If you're on your computer, go to "ACCOUNT" located on the Left <-side bar, and choose for the blog you want to shield from the artificial onlookers. (Side note: You're gonna have to do this to each blog you have... ughhh.. they don't make it easy.) ANyway, choose one of your blogs and click it.
Tumblr media
Once there, go to the Right -> side bar, and click on "BLOG SETTINGS."
Tumblr media
Your Blog's page set up should be set up like this. Now, scroll allll the way down (it's near the damn BOTTOM >:( ) Until you get to a Section Called, "VISIBILITY."
Tumblr media
Here's the "VISIBILITY" section. If you look at the blue bullet right there, you'll see "Prevent third-party sharing for (yourtumblrblogname)". Yours will probably be a gray bullet. Gray means you've switched it to OFF. Blue means it's switched to ON. Make sure the bullet slider is blue. And Bam. You're done (for this blog). No extra save button thankfully or whatever. BUT now you have to go and do the same thing for all your other side blogs. Hope this helps some of my followers. Because the tumblr is set up in a way that gives you multiple setting options for not just each blog, but your account as well. So you'd ASSUME it'd be underneath your account so it could apply to everything! Buuut its not. And here we are. Good luck out there fellow artists. And tumblr? Shame. Live was a mistake, and so was this.

The only website on the fucking internet that has a porn ban BUT EVERYTIME I’m on ANY TAG I find 50 PORN BOT POSTS that are EXPLICIT. This is becoming super common on fandom tags and it’s getting so annoying so quick. Are y’all having this problem????

New Desktop Dash, No Bueno
Okay so, new dash layout on desktop.
Tumblr media
As seems to be a common reaction: not a fan.
Let's talk about some of the issues:
1. Really visually cluttered
The new sidebar crowds out the dashboard content and the bright blue popup notifications (now at the side AND top) and create-post bar pull your eyes in different directions. There is no space for the eye to rest on anymore - it's all noise. The end result is that everything flattens - there's no focal point anymore.
It's also pretty overwhelming - even for someone like me - so I can't imagine it would be very user-friendly to someone who was photosensitive or struggled with visual overload (especially when paired with the high-contrast 'true blue' default site palette and animated icons for the changes-on-tumblr/staff-picks/trending buttons).
2. The activity pop-up now covers dashboard content
Tumblr media
This is really bad from a usability standpoint. In the old layout the activity pop-up used to drop down over the recommended blogs sidebar. Now it actively gets in the way of looking at core content. The dash is why we are here, burying it like this is baffling.
The search bar now drops down over the recommended blogs banner instead, but where the old design had non-critical space on each side of the dashboard to visually allow both features to pop in, this new layout is way worse for efficiency. And for what? Having a rarely-used former drop-down menu now permanently active? The old banner with quick-links for the key use-features (notes, messages, askbox) made much more design sense.
It also means that the activity pop-up gets now completely covered by the blog pop-up that opens when you click the notification, so double demerit there. 0/10.
3. It's harder to navigate to the activity page, and the new page-stretch means you can't see new notes without scrolling down
Tumblr media
That first bit is kind of a nitpick but cramming the 'See everything' link down at the bottom of a browser window isn't a great navigation choice. (Again, the visual signifiers and eye-direction in this new design are incredibly poor.)
That the main activity page now requires you to scroll to even see the top note due to the new display ratio is really egregious. It makes another key site feature just slightly less convenient and accessible in a very irritating way. Bad choice.
4. The new ratio pushes the Radar and Main Sponsored slot completely off-screen
This one is directed the tumblr staff: that's also a bad choice, guys. That's your main ad-slot for people loading into Tumblr so hiding it is going to hurt both your ad-impressions and your ability to promote the ad-free option. The new layout ratio also means that the in-dash ads are going to be a lot more invasively screen-filling - and let's be real most users will either add-block or leave before purchasing ad-free. I have no idea what the new layout is trying to achieve but if ad optimisation is the goal then this ain't it, chief.
To be honest I cannot comprehend the rationale for this change. I guess it's visually a bit more like Twitter... but that site is currently being demolished from the inside by poor management decisions so maybe it's not the best aesthetic to be aping.
Well then, what do?
Okay so, new dash bad. And so, in true Tumblr spirit: we complain. However, to get results we must deploy the art of kvetching productively.
If you want the old dash back (or at least, a better new-dash design that corrects some of these big weaknesses) what you should do is head over to https://www.tumblr.com/support and lodge a feedback ticket pointing out the problems. The more users who do that, the more likely you are to see an effective response.
Remember, tagging @staff and @support in posts won't fix this. There's no guarantee they'll see it among the notes barrage.
Also: please don't be rude or abusive when you lodge tickets. Whoever is manning those blogs and inboxes probably isn't the person who forced through this change. Save an intern, be polite.
Tumblr media
Go forth in disgruntlement to keep this hellhole a hellhome.

I really appreciate the Tumblr blogs called like Cute-Animal-TikToks that collect cute animal TikToks so that we can see and share them from there, because sometimes I send a non-Tumblr friend a cute animal TikTok shared by some non-themed regular blog, forgetting that it’s on a blog named, like, MyCockIsALiveHagfish with the description “afab but I had balls installed so I could teabag Mitch McConnell at his funeral” and all of this appears on the preview when I share a Tumblr post through text, and then I have to explain that these are totally normal things to say on here, just watch the video of the dog at the zoo or whatever

um, hey @staff, I’ve been on his hellsite for over a decade and never reached out like this before but this situation requires it. There’s a serious bot following spam problem right now. It’s worse than the previous spam bot issue.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They pop up in batches of like 10+ and for every block and report more appear and they multiply. today alone I went from 777 followers to 1090 and all of those are bots.
I’m not even joking. It’s frustrating, and blocking and reporting takes such a long time when you’re combing through literally hundreds of bots on your follow list tapping through the report and block process
I’m not the only blog this is happening to. I’ve messaged support but got the automated message saying y’all are working on a permanent solution, but can y’all please come up with a patch or a temporary solution because this is out of hand? Can you make it so we can batch block and report at least? I appreciate the work you’ve done so far, and I hope this can be resolved because this is sucking the fun out of this hellsite I’ve called home since 2010
fellow users, if y’all are experiencing this issue too, please reblog this so staff can see this is a growing issue

Every time I see that Misha Collins is trending my heart stops for a second because there’s a statistical chance I’m going to find out a major historical event is going on. I hate it here so much.

WE WIN THESE
But it’s not over yet, there has been heaps of other blogs who have experienced the same thing but did not have the reach or the community or the support I did in getting this issue solved.
Tumblr, although I’m grateful for being able to post again, you need to fix your spam trapper. It’s not working and causing real bots to slip through and banning and blocking real blogs.
Thank you for all the support guys, especially @amtrak-official and @humans who helped me fix and boost this issue!!

The constant tumblr game of “did I follow this blog by accident? Or did someone I followed on purpose change their name, and avatar and start posting about a different fandom?”
