Send Anons But Not Anon Hate - Tumblr Posts
Absolutely LOVELY post, op. I received some anon hate about 2-3 weeks ago related to this post, and they were the ONLY person who seemed to have a problem with it, lmao. I can proudly say that I did EXACTLY what's mentioned in (2) , block them & move on. I was tempted to answer their ask, but I realized doing so would only give them the satisfaction they wanted in the first place, and they might retaliate with more anon hate, later. Therefore, it's always better to ignore them & make sure they NEVER bother you again. πβ
Hello, my friends! I was thinking about how there are some not so nice people on this little website and came up with some tips to help avoid them and to just have a better experience in general. I thought others might be able to benefit from what I have to say so please read on if you are interested.
1)Turn off the option for people to send Anon asks. From what I understand the reason so many out there don't think twice of slipping into someone's askbox and spewing hate is because there is little to no consequence for doing so since you are unable to discern who they are. By disabling this feature they are either less likely to be confrontational or you know the name of their blog and are able to block it.
2)If someone does act aggressively do not retaliate in any way. It is highly tempting to defend yourself, but it is highly unlikely that anything you so or do will sway them. You do not owe anyone an explanation and the best solution is just to block whoever it is and continue on with your day. Believe me, you will most definitely be happier for it.
3)Remember that the block button and tag filters exist for a reason. It is perfectly okay to make use of them in order to avoid things that make you uncomfortable. Do this and your Tumblr experience will be 1000x better.
I hope this useful to someone!π
