#shadowban help

My Tumblr account was deleted, and with it I lost the only place helping me keep my mother’s fundraiser alive. Since then, everything has gone silent while my mother still desperately needs treatment.

I’m trying so hard not to lose hope, but I can’t do this alone.

If you can help in any way — even by sharing — it would mean more than you know.

Please don’t ignore this message. My mother’s life truly depends on people caring enough to act.

Tumblr is masivelly deleting Palestinian accounts today!!! As well of Abdul Rahman, so I am sharing his foundraiser too. Please don't ignore them when they're trying to reach to you from new accounts.

And Tumblr is also supressing Palestinian content, I have a feeling I am shadowbanned. Many Palestinians campaigns stopped getting donations or have signifcantly dropped. Without your shares and contributing they can get enough funds for food even. Because some of your blogs have a high reach and without your help they cannot survive! ⚠️🚨

The world is trying to silence, starve and unalive Palestinians in so many ways! I feel like I am screeming in the void! Don't allow it, pelase.

i just want to talk about this in hopes that someone from the Tumblr staff actually sees it and takes it seriously—not just an AI that flags this post for no reason.

Sorry for the sudden rant, but this goes out mostly to my mutual @franticfrolicsgonemad (aka fanficwriter284), who’s been going through it thanks to Tumblr First, they were shadowbanned for no clear reason, and now their account has been completely terminated. They tried reaching out to support, but nothing came from it—and who knows if Tumblr will even bother now?

It’s not just them either—this is happening to a lot of people, and I’m honestly so tired of it. As someone who’s lost years of work before on another app, I know how much it hurts and feels hopeless to start all over again (even if that’s not what this is about).

I just really hope Tumblr starts fixing some of these issues… and there are definitely a few i can mention at the top of my head. For example, the constant flood of p@rn bots in the community section. As a mod, they used to show up maybe once a week. Now it’s every few days, no matter what I do to report and ban it.

I can tell the staff is somewhat trying their best to control this issue in particular, and I can imagine its not easy, but please, Tumblr. Do better for your users.

Hey everyone! I’ve got quite a few asks about the whole shadowban situation during my shadowban—how I knew, what happened, and how I will know when it's solved etc etc. I didn’t answer right away bc I wasn’t sure how it would play out, but now that I’ve been through it [kinda], here’s a full breakdown of what happened, how I knew, and what I’ve learned after dealing with this mess. Hopefully this helps if you ever find yourself in Tumblr jail like I did lol:

FYI: I’m mostly back from Tumblr jail… BUT I’m still kinda half-ghost cause my tags are still broken. Since I rely on tags for my posts to actually reach people outside my follower list, I’m holding off on bringing my scheduled posts back to the front. So until Tumblr fully resurrects me and fixes this last bit, no new posts for now.

I’ll keep you updated, but for now… I’m still stuck halfway in the shadow realm.

No tags, no posts 😭

Also, everything I’ve shared about this shadowban stuff comes from my own experience dealing with it on my blog these past days, plus things I’ve learned after digging around the internet while I was stuck in the void.

Q: What happened?

Basically, Tumblr shadowbanned me out of nowhere. My blog still existed, but I was pretty much invisible to everyone except my existing followers. So unless you already followed me before the shadowban, you couldn’t see me on your dash, in tags, or anywhere else.

Q: What exactly is a shadowban?

A shadowban on Tumblr means your blog still technically functions and looks normal to you, but Tumblr has made you invisible to everyone else other than your pre-existing followers before the ban. You can post, reblog, and interact, but no one else could see it—unless they already followed you.

Just gonna post this here - TLDR Hi, I'm RB and my main blog got flipping shadowbanned and nothing has resolved for a month)))) I am at my limit. If you like my art - you can find rb-theartgoat main blog manually, but I'll be posting here, hopefully that at least reaches SOME people.

Now, this is a good day for me so I'll be returning to the regularly scheduled posting on main, but for those who are STILL in jail - here is the experience I've had so that it might help, there seems to be a huge wave of these mysterious "anti-spam" prevention bans recently 9real bots are still in my comments btw)
