Hi! If you're from Twitter, welcome to the hellsite! I've managed to compile a fairly comprehensive guidebook on the in and outs of Tumblr and its etiquette written by myself and some long-time Tumblr veterans.

When I say "Tumblr veterans", I mean that we've been on this site in some capacity for around 10 years each now, if not more (I myself have been here on and off since around 2011). We're happy to see new people discover the unique nature of what is effectively our digital hometown.

That being said, this unique nature is chalked up to the way that Tumblr has been something of a haven from the corporate and influence-based culture that has seemingly enveloped the rest of the internet. While we're happy to welcome you here, we also wish you respect the fact that this has been a safe haven from corporatisation and influencer culture, and we ask that you help us keep it that way. You can find an explanation on the etiquette and taboos of Tumblr in the guide linked above.

For a summary guide, keep reading...

was on a stream with my buddy overtimepog and a wave of jackbox trolls flooded his stream, and into our discords. I had to clean up gore, and more from my server.

this is the site that they're using to target us. Many of my friends are on here, and people I look up to like the lovely @missmoonified

(we are in no way dating, we are friends, but this is how they addressed me) anyway, invites are paused until further notice and we need to prepare for warfare.

have your lockdown button for stream ready, and plan your streams around limited chat appearance on screen. The chat bubbles plugin can be configured to help separate viewers from raiders. You can limit chat bubbles from appearing on screen for followers that have only been following for a set period of time.

Time for another handy dandy guide for your move to Tumblr! This time: The Queue

The queue is an incredibly useful tool that makes sharing your content and content from other blogs you enjoy with your following! Need to boost a post that wasn't seen? Want to share a BUNCH of art from an artist you discovered but not fill the dashboard with a lot of the same thing? Just want your shitposts to be seen over and over? The queue is the tool you're looking for!
