Okay, I’m seeing people using “not wanting to bring twitter culture here” as an excuse to be malicious assholes to regular people. Stop. You’re doing that thing again. The fandom cop thing where regular non celebrity/brand people are easier targets and you just want to hit something and still feel like you have the moral high ground when in actuality you’re not helping anything and just being an asshole.

We don’t need to be assholes to people. We don’t even need to keep everyone out. In fact I would really, really love for the artists to come back, not every twitter refugee is bad. And even if someone is being obnoxious and problematic, the solution is the same as for the marketing accounts: Just Block Them.

I know some of you desperately want there to be some alignment of circumstances that will magically make harassment and suicide baiting and calling people slurs okay, but that’s a you problem and you need to figure out a way to deal with it that doesn’t affect random civilians and actively make the internet a worse place.

If you actually care about maintaining tumblr as a good place to be, you have to actually participate in a positive way and set an example. reblog art you like, don’t repost, block corporate accounts and trolls, and learn to curate your experience. (Your picture was not posted)
