Tumblr could really benefit from more of a "follow back" culture in my opinion. Newcomers would feel far more welcome, Tumblr vets could enjoy fresh posts and perspectives, and mutuals are much more inclined to support and signal boost each other's posts and creations than a mere folowee (let's pretend that's a word!). I was last here about 12-13 years ago with a blog name that I've long forgotten, but I DO remember that back then nearly everyone with some of the same fandoms and ships followed each other back and were more inclined to reblog people's stuff. I'm obviously not trying to "shame" anyone but just something to think about---if you're torn about whether to follow someone back, hitting that button just might make someone's day while greatly improving the overall culture on this site!
