have a couple thoughts about tumblr community labels:
it’s unclear to me from the announcement post what the implications on the nsfw policy are. is porn, as in 100% Definitely Explicit There Is Sex, still not allowed, or is it fully allowed now under label?
i don’t see a reason why there’s no option to spoiler any post you make for any reason
i think having individually toggleable content filter options (instead of only On or only toggleable as a blanket) with multiple modes makes the content system better than most other sites rn, but i think having a system for custom topics in some way would not only be helpful but is imperative. even just having multiple modes on filtered tags/content (blur or hide) would be great
overall it seems like the content filtering system with the most practical functionality out of all the social media sites rn, but i end up as always stuck on what categories get picked as defaults and their definitions if there’s no way apply this same functionality to specific points of the categories or things that aren’t in them because it always ends up feeling like an implicit moral judgement (which having the toggles definitely does lessen here tbf)
based on the site policies being unchanged + people testing things out, it seems like explicit porn still isn’t allowed, so. i get people not wanting to see suggestive stuff but to be quite honest i’m not sure what the overarching point about “posts with sexual content” is here when the most explicit art you’re allowed to post is essentially like, idfk making out. am i really expected to tag that for it to be hidden from people by default. i hope this is a precursor to allowing porn again but i rather wouldn’t with the coy & ambiguous tone of the announcement today

a lot of you people on this website speak pretty authoratitively all the while being less competent of an elitist than me
not sure how to explain this but i think, and first of all you couldn’t pay me to use tiktok, but it seems like a lot of people don’t understand that being against tiktok doesn’t really mean you’re actually good at… thinkiiiing??? also this isn’t about tiktok, i’m just using it as a vibes stand-in for, i dunno what you’d call it, aestheticized behavior? perceiving in cliche?? the opposite of rawdogging comprehension??? being against aestheticization (i am against aestheticization) can also be aestheticized and i feel like people end up doing that like… a lot actually. and then go circlejerk with other people on this website like also this about how the existence of the booktok community is bad (to be clear i also hate it and also this was just the first example i could think of) instead of having any independent thoughts about the environment that facilitates it because feeling better than other people for not engaging with symptomatic manifestations of a world that encourages identity through consumption is a lot easier and more fun (and i would argue also a form of creating an identity through consumption…). like as much as i will say hating is entertaining i think for example making being a “hater” your identity makes you a bad critic in as far as… it’s holding an ideal above comprehensive evaluation of the material world. or whatever. instead it being the other way around! like is that not the point??? it’s an easy pitfall so you have make sure you’re not falling into it like… constantly. you know???????????????????

in the interest of furthering discourse, here’s an anti-gnostic edit someone made
I feel like I’ve stumbled upon something I shouldn’t have. Like two beings with knowledge far greater than my own discussing matters of reality. Maybe its just because it’s almost six in the morn. But I’m so very terrified. This feels like forbidden knowledge. What the fuck is a demiurge? Oh god
These are basic concepts of gnostic theology. Gnosticism was a theological rival of the early church, and the church responded by inventing the idea of heresy, and applying it to gnostic teachings. It feels like forbidden occult knowledge because it is literally forbidden occult knowledge. But we have the internet now, so nowadays it’s also the sort of thing people make mspaint comics on 4chan about.
