I remember asking you about ghost tagging you a while back. And I. Think I just did it to someone by accident 😅. Tagged them in a drafted post, then changed my mind and deleted it before posting. THEY STILL GOT TAGGED AND REPLIED and omg I am so embarrassed now, is that how you initially discovered it?
Yessss that's exactly what happened.
So in a post one time I tagged. a lot of people idk how many. I removed the tags from drafts tho, as I decided I no longer wanted to tag them, and then I posted it, and tumblr tagged them anyways! There was much confusion, I felt really embarrassed overall and edited the post to try and explain but eeuguhghbshbdidhhdhhghhh
Then, it happened to my friend @adrift-in-thyme as well; Trin was going to tag me but took it out, and when tumblr still notified me, I decided I wanted to replicate this power. Tumblr messed with me, I decided to mess with it back, so I experimented a bit and soon enough learned to make invisible tags! I wasn't sure what to call them at the time, invisible tags or ghost tags- now I'm going with ghost tags bc it sounds cooler, although someone called it shadowtagging the other day and that was cool too.
And don't worry about being embarrassed, I think something everyone can agree on is that tumblr and the internet can be buggy and wierd sometimes.
Uhh yeah! Idk how much sense I'm making rn, as it is night for me, but thanks for sending this! Shared experiences <3
