Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

True. Since I started using piefed I've been negatively curating my all feed by just blocking everything that is the least bit annoying or not entertaining. It's much better.

You don't owe internet people the ability to spam your feed or subject you to their moronic takes.

Also, like, in general, your interactions with these people mean literally nothing. Wasting time replying to them or trying to one up them or dunk on them does nothing but drag you into the miasma of their meaningless bickering.

I'm a fan of the "downvote and move on" tactic, but it seems to be pretty common sentiment among lemmy mods that this is the opposite of what you should do.

This is something I need to remind myself of every now and then 😌
