Q: If the problem is having to reblog a post because of compulsion, what about [ ...just doing it and feeling better / ...sharing to a private sideblog / ...seeing posts you don’t have to reblog ] ?
@justeasing Why is it an issue to reblog this stuff? I know the initial stress doesnt help, but I thought it was relieved by the reblog? 🤔 Idk, I guess I'm confused and need more context. I just don't see the harm in just reblogging it anyways...
Anonymous Idle question, since I don't have a brain that's susceptible to superstitious posts--I've seen variations on immunity posts that say something like "you don't have to interact with this at all, just seeing it once grants immunity." obviously I think that should be tagged as well since it can interact poorly with a lot of forms of magical thinking, but do disclaimers like that help at all with any compulsions to reblog or is the superstitious element enough to override any specific instructions?
@standfortheangels What about the posts that don't require you to do anything? I've seen ones with like a picture of a cute dog saying stuff like 'seeing this post means you're immune to chain posts, you can now scroll past them and they can't do anything bc this dog is protecting you'. So I'm asking A- should those still be tagged as superstitious posts? (I'm assuming yes for now) and B- do they actually help or do they give people the same uneasy feelings? (Any/all replies are welcome~)
@tania-grey just to check and make sure, are the immunity posts designed to bring relief from these superstitious posts exempt from the tag itself? Should they maybe have their own tag of #immunity post for extra peace of mind for those who need it?
I already responded to some of these, so I will copy/paste my answers to those here first:
re: anon ask
“It honestly just varies. Some people would find it helpful, others wouldn’t.
Personally, I have about the same instinctive reaction whether it has a reassurance like that or not, because the overall format / established concept in general evokes the response. I’m trying to think how to explain it, and the best I can come up with is… it’s like the disclaimer affirms the rule? Like, to say ‘immunity is granted just by seeing it once’ is still saying ‘x effect is granted by witnessing this post,’ which just kind of… reinforces the general idea of ‘the things said in these posts have the results they state.’ If it didn’t accept the premise, then it wouldn’t be able to offer the immunity it does, if that makes sense.
So, for me, it doesn’t fit into my little brain rules for one statement of the same type to overrule other statements, since they’re all the same form of compulsion. Again, that’s just one example, though – it’s always going to depend on the function provoked in each particular viewer.”

“A- yes!

re: tania-grey
“I personally would suggest that immunity posts are included under the tag. [link to above answer] <— I explain why a bit here. Each person will react differently; some people are helped by the immunity posts, so if that’s strongly the case for your personal sphere of blog connections, maybe you will choose to leave them untagged or tag them differently/additionally. But for accessibility for the greatest variation of people, my rule of thumb advice would be that the option to remove all such posts (positive, negative, reblog-necessary, view-only, immunity, etc) is of greater benefit than to cover only some kinds.”
I’m going to break up my FAQ responses for accessibility, so see the next post for the rest of my explanation.
