Tag filtering is here Don’t see what you don’t wanna see

In our ongoing effort to help you all determine your own experience here on Tumblr, we’re launching one of our most requested features: the ability to filter out posts from your dashboard based on their tags.

Trying to avoid #Star Wars spoilers? Filter them out. Need a break from all the #holiday excitement this month? Sheesh, fine. Filter it out. It’s your dashboard. Groom it well.

Where do I set up a tag filter?

In your settings! You’ll find it in your general settings on mobile, under “Filtering.” On the web, you’ll find it in your account settings, also under “Filtering.”

That makes sense. Will I know when stuff is being filtered out?

Yup. Just like with Safe Mode, you’ll see a placeholder in your dashboard wherever something is being hidden. If you actually do want to see it, you can click/tap on it, and it’ll appear.

I follow some real nimrods. How can I stop seeing their posts?

Unfollow them! And if they’re really being a jerk, block them. And if they’re truly being hateful, report them.

Anything else I should know?

Sure. There are lots of other tools for making Tumblr the Tumblr you want to see. You can read about them all in our help center.

If didn’t see staff post, basically you can now officially blacklist tags within the app. Since many are mobile users here’s how to find the filter. Above is showing that it indeed works. (tagging in anti tag only for information purpose that’s it) Staff didn’t provide visual so here’s one

I didn’t realise you can now blacklist on mobile so there’s now literally no excuse now. If there’s something people don’t want to see specifically they should utilise this system. People can’t use the excuse now that they use mobile

for anyone whos freaking out or w/e i wanna lyk the internet is NOT “dying”. there’s a lot of misinformation out there about net neutrality, you can read more about what’s ACTUALLY happening here. net neutrality falling through would certainly have bad consequences, but it will not effect casual use of the internet for the most part. we didn’t even have net neutrality in the first place until 2015. 

net neutrality is very important and the loss of it would allow internet providers to censor information, but it will not ccause the internet to “die” or increase internet prices / put websites behind a paywall for the consumer. prices would increase for people who own websites. please don’t have a panic attack over this!!

For those nervous/anxious about tomorrow, here’s maybe a little bit of hope? I’m not sure entirely if this helps at all, but I was told “Basically it's a bill to take away the FCC's control over the internet, contributing to a free web. Most likely they'll be trying to treat it more as a utility than as a service.” Which I think is a good thing? I don’t want to spread false info, and if this is false in some way, please let me know.

Look, I know everyone, including myself isn’t happy about all this shit going on, but I hope this maybe gives yall a little bit of hope for the future, yeah? Best of luck to you all and I love you.
