So in another fantastic and well planned out move by @staff@support‘s resident circus show of sewage for brain brogrammers, a large and varied assortment of blogs have been completely fucked by the new changes, and it is completely unknown as of now what the criteria for your blog to be targeted is, or which combination of fuckups you’ll encounter. You may get all of them, like I have, or only one of them!
As of now, I cannot search my own blog.
For those of you unaffected, when you search a blog, it should come up like this.
Furthermore, I’m unable to search tags in my own sidebar
though I can search them on my individual user page!
Finally, none of my recent posts are showing up in ANY tags. Searching both the tumblr search and the tumblr tagged for my own god damn salt tag #ori salts returns posts that aren’t mine, and have nothing to do with the tag.
“But have you contacted staff? I’ve contacted @staff, and they gave me this generic fucking response.
Literally didn’t give me two seconds of their day and just copy pasted off of their help page. I have a strong feeling that they don’t give a fuck and have no intention of fixing this.
My blog isn’t marked explicit, so there’s no reason why everything should be hidden from the site. For those of you experiencing the same or similar issues, let me know in the notes.
What I’ve come across seems to be a common denominator, but so far I’m just spitballing based on the evidence brought to me, so take it with a grain of salt.
It seems that one of the criteria for being hidden against your will with zero knowledge or warning is being a good and respectful tumblr user, following guidelines, and marking/reblogging/liking posts with any of their arbitrarily picked blocked tags! If you repeatedly tag/reblog/like things like the ns//fw tag, you might just get a nice hidden flag on your blog.
And no, I don’t mean that your blog is forced to explicit, or that somehow your visibility has been set to hide you.
This is what the slide looks like when the slide is on:
And this is it off, yet on a blog that is still inexplicably hidden:
If your blog has been flagged for explicit activity, that blue slide will be faded, and you’ll be unable to click it to turn it off.
This is NOT what is happening here.
This is some secondary explicit flag that @staff has decided to completely and arbitrarily hide from users, and you only know if you’ve been hit by searching for your blog, your tags, or your art, and finding out on your own!
Fun times!
The amount of tags that have been silently blacklisted is way more than you might think
Both the furry tag and the CHRONIC PAIN tag are gone, making any content tagged with them hypothetically poisonous. We literally cannot know how many other non-sexual tags have been targetted without trial and error, since tumblr wont fucking talk to us. And the ‘if you reblog shit you can be removed from sesrch’ is still just a theory. Because they wont Fucking Acknowledge Shit.
I’m also only viewable from the dashboard now, nowhere in tags, and obviously i do draw the porn? But fuck man, this is Ridicuous. They’ve thrown up a ceiling for how large blogs can grow on their platform. And like fucking tumblr ims, its fucking Spreadable
