At least the appeal button was easy to find… Actually this is a mild inconvenience but a few years ago when there was flagged posts there was zero notifications and I had to look through ALL my drafts and posts to find flagged content and appeal it and some content took forever or got flagged over and over. Today I logged in and had an alert at the top of the feed and it took me to all the flagged content in one place.

If the appeal process isn’t too slow and I can get updated or check the status on appeals (???) I’ll be cool with this. I’ve been blocking porn blogs and blogs full of graphic adult content that follow me for years. I’m not against adult content, hell I draw erotic art, and I’m not morally again porn either but you don’t need to reblog pictures of my kid/life in the middle of that stuff or be seeing in likewise in that context in other blogs. Make a sideblog, jfc.

What I DO take issue with is today I notice if I go to people’s pages that the Tumblr feed is NO LONGER CHRONOLOGICAL. It’s close, not the sick mess Facebook is, but just a few rearrangements. It was so subtle I almost didn’t catch it but I saw a “taking a social media break” post from a friend followed by a slew up reblogs and that seemed odd, especially for them. I went to their page and yes, the social media post was the last post. On my feed it was their oldest recent post. I can’t express adequately enough my utter disdain for an update feed that is not in chronological order. I should be able to scroll until the last post I saw previously and be able to stay updated. Algorithm driven feeds that tell me the content I get enrage me and roll so many content creators under the rug. If the Tumblr community wants to talk about censorship, get off the “first they came for our porn” speech and talk about how unpopular artists and the like get obliterated under a content algorithm.

I’ve been very sick all week and healing from a shoulder injury. So much is going on here and I really want to update but as it turns out actually doing things leaves little time for the internet… Some day I’ll be back properly.

I have a lot of art too and am revamping and updating my galleries… Hundreds of pages of never before seen content. Stay tuned.
