Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:

This is a good way to create echo-chambers. But hey it is good advice when used with nuance.
It's difficult to check whether the person you're arguing is doing it in bad faith or because they're really engaging in discussion with you.

That's just echo-chambering yourself. You might get some weird ideas about reality as a result.
While some people need blocking of course. It's a balance. Give them a second chance.
My block list is formative, but what I love is that I can block ENTIRE INSTANCES. Holy shit, I don't need pawb or blajah, or any of that .ml bullshit.
How do you block a whole instance? I have been blocking on a community by community basis.
If you are on the website, it's in your settings down at the bottom. If you are using an app, it's probably in there somewhere. I'm using Voyager and it has options to block whole instances.
I see that but I don't see a way to change block instances. I just see what was already blocked.

i dont get this approach at all. i mod some places and i see people block each other over misunderstandings all the time. very foolish and head in the sand sort of behavior imho.
This is way overkill. People can make a mistake. A simple typo can completely change the meaning of some text. Blocking someone forever because of an inadvertent typo, or the like, is just dumb on your part
