A Whumper at Heart

Well....its about to be a billions more frustrating to be a tumblr user and content creator.

For those who aren't aware yet, check out the most recent announcement made by staff here: https://wip.tumblr.com/post/671184848292118528/an-update-on-the-tumblr-ios-app

Basically tumblr is censoring content in order to have the app appear in the Apple store. This update and content censoring is apparently only on Apple devices.

I'm an Android user so the banned tags and such isn't going to affect my user experience and I can't tell what tag is being banned for IOS users.

But from what I've seen of which tags are being shadowbanned, this does not bode well for the whump community. Things like abuse, blood, bones, broken, depression, injury, my edit, my post, request, submission, and trigger warning are all apparently banned now.

I don't plan on changing how I do things (for now although o dont know how I could i mean this is a whump blog). I'm not going anywhere, I'm gonna keep making my content, I'm gonna keep my tagging system, and I'm gonna continue to share good whump here.

For those of you who access tumblr and specifically whumplr through the app on any IOS device, it might be a good idea to give your browser a try for a while. Either on your phone or laptop. Content won't be banned there. It's literally just IOS devices.

Here's a list someone made that has all the current banned words. Basically, my whole blog is about to be shadowbanned from IOS user.

If you're a fellow Android/Desktop user like myself, this shouldn't effect anything for you other than a tanking of notes but everyone should be aware of (and pissed off about) this bullshit censoring. This is how and why tumblr banned nsfw content before. The Great Purge happened because tumblr allegedly claimed it was required to keep the app in the Apple store.

Also, it's now even more important for you to REBLOG CONTENT YOU LIKE!! Content creators are about to get even more shadowbanned so please reblog content you like and give content creators love and encouragement or else this site really will die.

Hi there! Yes of course it's okay to ask!

Okay if you are on mobile, go to your blog profile and hit the settings button. Then go into account settings ---> Filtering. From there you can add both the specific hashtag and the content you want to block

For desktop, Go to your settings underneath the little person icon

Then your Account

Scroll until you see the Filtering section. Here you can add the hashtags and content you wish to block.

And that should do it! Putting it in both should filter for any mention of the word within the hashtag or the post itself in case the post maker didn't tag for it.

THANK FUCK!!!! The appeal came in so fast too. Oh god I thought I was gonna lose this blog and I was so close to crying. I love this blog. I can’t lose it. God Tumblr you gave me a heart attack.
