ugh there is a post on my dash that i have blocked fifty times now i think and it’s just, somehow it’s different enough every time I guess that it sneaks through? It’s all one person, and this person is reblogging answers to a thing, I think, but it’s long photo posts, really long, and it’s like– just by volume, it’s half my fucking dash.
Sorry if I missed anything from anybody but I just can’t get through it, I block the post and lose my place and try to scroll around and there’s the post again.
It’s at times like this that I think in future I’m going to just block every post I see, even if I like it, to cut down on how much of my time on Tumblr is just scrolling past the same post over and over. I like the idea of reblogging because it does mean that you see things you otherwise wouldn’t, but for some people that’s literally all the site is for? And I don’t want to cull anyone, but the sheer volume of duplicated shit is so overwhelming.
The person reblogging these long image posts over and over is also a fascinating generator of original content at times, and has led me to many great discoveries, good fic and excellent art and great points of view. but today they’re obsessed with reblogging this one fucking image post, and if only fucking PostBlock would catch it, but it’s clearly reading every iteration as a different post. Oh my god.
I hate this website. And everyone’s nostalgic for replies but you know, I couldn’t reply to replies, so they were kind of more frustrating than anything else? I used replies to leave a note on someone Tumblr-famous’s posts, like a drive-by that didn’t need response, because of that, and I won’t use messaging for that instead because I wouldn’t message a famous person unless they explicitly were down with that. But I do use the messaging more with mutuals, so I guess that’s cool.
