so as this post says, if you’r finding your blog is all jumbled, old posts popping up to the front, new posts not showing up at all, etc it is because of those posts being flagged and then unflagged. all you have to do is open them to edit and save them again and they’ll go back.
i just wanted to make this separate post to add that once you do that all your new posts will go back to being visible at the top of your blog as they should be i just did it and now everything’s fine on my blog.
2. Open your blog on a different browser (somewhere you’re not logged in)
3. See if what you’re posting is still visible
This is a fun, fun game about what tumblr *says* it’s doing and what it’s stealthily censoring behind your back
My original blog was muted in 2014. I talked to support about it a bunch and they eventually said there must be a bug, and it would take a long time to fix the bug.
That was how i learned about shadowbans.
I made a new blog, but I’ve been ready to quit since this happened. Something is very wrong when the people with all the power to make and enforce their choice of rules decide instead to sneak around and fuck with you.
hey, you, you’re finally awake. you were trying to post some nipples, right? walked right into that staff ambush, along with me and that pornbot over there
Being in a room with straight people talking about straight things is so exhausting.
What the hell are ‘straight things’?
Marriages and mortgages and families and opposite sex attraction talk and talking about sex openly without being made to feel like you are making people uncomfortable and hearing straight people talk about how hard dating is for them and hearing straight people talk about how they are such victims and their lives are shit when what this really means is they aren’t married at age 22 and sexist crap that drives me crazy like traditional weddings and how great religion is and how the world is so lovely and kind and great because people don’t know what it’s like to be a minority and how straight people are like “this person is so lovely” when you know they are homophobic or listening to straight people say things are “gay” or talk about people who dress unconventionally (ie. men who wear dresses) as being weird or doing impressions of gay people or asking “why don’t you have a boyfriend?” judgementally as if it is just that easy or getting annoyed at you when you complain about how hard your life is because it’s easy for them cause they are straight and wouldn’t know the first thing about it or having to come out to people all the time cause they just assume you’re straight and getting weird looks like “tmi” or “you don’t look gay” or “I don’t care what you do in the bedroom” or having to hear straight people talk about really cute straight couples or really great romantic films or books about straight people or just watching people live super conventional lives and do really sexist old fashioned things just because no one is brave enough to question or think about anything… and worst of all knowing that if you were to say or talk about anything gay everyone would get uncomfortable and not join in on the conversation and wish you had said nothing… and then people will be like “you hardly said anything”, “you’re so quiet”, “you don’t talk much”, “are you shy”, “you’re boring”.
No bitch I’m gay and I don’t relate to nor am I really interested in any of the shit that you have been yelling to my face for the last hour.
I live for the number of straight people that don’t understand why this was written in this way.
It’s exhausting reading this right? Well that’s what’s it’s like for us gay people to have to listen to straight people’s opinions on things over and over and over
Gay Hell
