if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this

you punch nazis!

a moment of silence for our Sunman, a plushie gets more game than he does 😔

Bonus:

i think a good way to have piece of mind online is to apply that same mindset to more things.

you saw a really bad take online? that person just has a degradation kink and they're waiting for someone to call them out. if you don't want to participate in their kink, leave them alone.

Beyond the human reasons of someone wanting a fight or some other kind of emotional satisfaction, it's usually because the more interactions a piece of content has, the more advertising dollars it makes, or the more traffic is driven to that account's other posts.

"Bet you can't name an American state that has a Z in it!" -- everyone rushes to answer "Arizona" and suddenly a completely inane Facebook account has ten thousand comments (and the account holder can then sell this high-traffic page to someone else to be rebranded).

Any of those allegedly cute animal videos where it's clear someone has put an animal in a distressing situation just to show themselves helping it -- yeah, it's exploitative, and the way the exploitation happens is by enticing you to comment and denounce the content.

A video on TikTok with a caption like "you'll be amazed at what these zebras are eating" -- I was about to click and say "dude, those are hyenas, not zebras" and then realized that's exactly why they put that error there.

Especially with the outrage driven posts, it relies on your need to Not Walk On By when you see something wrong. Remember that if it's internet content you are literally doing no good by interacting with it and in many cases you are becoming the instrument of exploitation or harm.

“Stop drawing them with-!”

“I’m so sick of fandom sleeping on-“

No but in all seriousness, I have no sympathy for you. I didn’t work for years on my writing voice or artwork skills just to cater to your fandom preferences. No one else in your fandom did either. No one owes you artwork that matches your headcanon.

You have three choices if you want fanworks that match your internal vision;

1) learn how to make fanworks yourself (fic, art, cosplay, gifsets, profile pictures, roleplays)

2) commission someone else to make the fanworks you desire with money or trades, or inspire gifted works by hyping up ideas you like/writing prompts and headcanons
