replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. donât make rude jokes if youâre not friends already though!
quote retweeting is a no-no. when you âretweet with a commentâ itâs not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they donât get the likes and retweets they would get if youâd just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with âLRTâ which stands for âlast retweetâ (itâs fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)
you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content. you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. itâs a good way to keep things separate.
what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, youâll be able to see it.Â
you can mute people you follow. (and those you donât, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. itâs a good way to keep the peace!
you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option youâve selected.)
miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it wonât show up in their notifications as long as itâs within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. donât be lame. donât be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom youâre in. use the mute tools at your disposal and donât be a spoiler. you wonât come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.
thatâs it! happy tweeting!!
how do i keep all my content together on twitter?
threads are your best friend!! you make a tweet with your commission info and links and so on and pin it to the top of your page. then reply to that tweet with a copy and pasted link to the tweet where you posted the art/fic/etc you want to not lose. reply to that new tweet with the next piece of artwork and so on. you can also make a unique hashtag for your content to use when you post, so that when you search that hashtag later youâre able to see just your art. good luck!
i actually dont know shit abbt twitter culture and now that im kinda moving there this is very helpful thank you
So I hardly know whatâs really going on but it sounds like a lot of people are planning to leave Tumblr due to a recent update. I think my blog should be safe until this all blows over, but if anything happens you can find me at the links above!
My uncle – heâs always been on my side, even when things were bad. He was there for me. He taught me so much. And how do I repay him: with a knife in his back! Itâs my greatest regret and I may never get to redeem myself.
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.Â
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts. Â
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic workâs nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.Â
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Donât post. Donât log on. Donât even visit the website. Donât give them that sweet ad revenue.Â
Tumblrâs stock has already taken a hard hit. Letâs make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.Â
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
Got a reminder set.
Hereâs some converted times, so that people living in other countries donât have to google this:

Well Iâm doing this
The site is so broken everyone doing so will get blocked out of their accounts.
Worth a shot.
Iâm into this, Tumblr went nuts with this one, it seems they want to take their easy way out instead of actually dealing with the problems and making the site better
