their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. don’t make rude jokes if you’re not friends already though!

quote retweeting is a no-no. when you “retweet with a comment” it’s not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they don’t get the likes and retweets they would get if you’d just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with “LRT” which stands for “last retweet” (it’s fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)

you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content.  you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. it’s a good way to keep things separate.

what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, you’ll be able to see it. 

you can mute people you follow. (and those you don’t, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. it’s a good way to keep the peace!

you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option you’ve selected.)

miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it won’t show up in their notifications as long as it’s within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. don’t be lame. don’t be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom you’re in. use the mute tools at your disposal and don’t be a spoiler. you won’t come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Oh great. I’ve seen tumblr nuke some of my fandom tags completely this week, but this is just asinine. I guess I figured that tumblr wouldn’t target such a relatively niche community, but I suppose I was wrong on that one.

Many thanks to @d-structive for fishing(no pun intended! :U) it out!

So, if you live in EU, are worried as heck about Article 13 & 11 and want to do something more besides signing petitions, here’s the links:

https://www.liberties.eu/en/campaigns/protect-free-speech-campaign-online-censorship/249

https://www.liberties.eu/en/campaigns/copyright-online-censorship-europe-campaign/293 (updated page of the former)

To send the email to your MEPs, all you’ll have to do is fill in a few info in the “sign the letter” option (aka: your full name, an email address and your own Country):

For good measure, I just did so in both the pages.

Here it comes the best part: EVERYONE around the world can sign and send those letter, so GO GO GO!

In addition, don’t forget that there are at least a couple of petitions on “change.org”:
