WHY IS SHE LIKE THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[buckskinblues]

If you see a photo that is shocking or outrageous, paired with someone compelling you to act or take a stance, do a couple of things:

1. Reverse image search. You can put the image back into Google and see where else it has shown up. We’ve seen older images be reused and intentionally misattributed (example: photos from a disaster in Syria being passed off as being from Gaza).

2. Look at the fingers. AI-generated images look more realistic now, but AI still has trouble with human hands and teeth - it’ll often have too many fingers or fingers in weird configurations (extra thumbs, etc), as well as too many teeth if teeth are shown.

We are entering a phase where deepfakes are going to become more common and harder to spot. We must be vigilant and not fall for - or share - lies.

If you cannot verify, do not reblog.

sorry i’m a freak and this is just me but i hate the new age of everyone trying to healthily therapy everything so you see shit like “wedding vows that express healthy boundaries” like no tell me you’re going to live and die for me tell me you’d eat me alive and kill for me idec. or you see “ways to properly confront someone without arguing” like no sorry if it’s really needed and you’re truly angry you’re gona do it right blood guts screaming and all emotion and crying . “that’s not healthy tho” don’t care didn’t ask + this hole you put me in wasnt deep enough and i’m climbing out right now

it is actually very common for people to say “there are no innocents on the side of my enemy.” against such an opponent you can theoretically justify anything

[Shut off last version of this post to avoid possible continual spread of misinformation that was corrected by staff. Reposting clean with corrected info]

So I'm sure almost everyone knows about the porn bot problem by now, so here's a post detailing why it's a problem, and what we need to do about it.

First off, yes, always block the porn bots. Don't be mislead into thinking they're ok to keep around because they 'inflate your follower count.'

Firstly, no one cares about, nor can anyone even see, your follower count. Be free from the shackles that are the bullshit other socials told you was important. Don't let your ego be tied to a number. Having a lot of followers won't earn you any clout here.

Secondly, bots only follow blogs to try and legitimize their malware (and other dodgy) links. This post goes into more detail about that.

Now that that's out of the way, you'll need to know how to recognize a porn bot. This round the template seems to be:

A profile photo of a pretty lady or guy, usually in their underwear, with a similar header photo.

A bio with some combination of: [Age] // [Name] // [Location] // [Emoji] // [Top Bullshit% OnlyFans]

URL consisting of a name followed by a number (i.e: firstlast999)

Typically an empty blog, or if there is content, it's all dodgy links. Visible, but empty, Likes Tab, & occasionally a visible Following Tab.

You likely recognize the pattern.

So, what you want to do is, first, report the blog as spam On mobile it'll look like this:

On mobile you'll need to report spam first, and then go back to the menu again to block.

On desktop it will look like this, and unlike mobile, you'll be able to report spam and block in the same motion:

If I remember correctly,* be sure to "Report Spam", not "Report sexually explicit material" to feed the bots to the proper channels. Because the blog is empty, they haven't posted anything explicit that would violate TOS. However, staff can recognize a bot, and if you report the blog for spam (the actual problem) they'll take a look, more than likely find that the blog is posting or DMing dodgy links, and dispose of it.

And I think that's it. Here's wishing you all a happy and safe blogging experience!

[UPDATE: It was suggested on another post that the bots track your IP if you click on them to send more your way. However, someone from staff corrected and said this is incorrect. They also corrected the 'guilt by association' myth that bots following you can get your blog flagged by tumblr.

That said, that trail all led to another, easier, way to report/block the bots all from your Follower Tab instead of visiting each blog separately, unfortunately it only works on desktop:

(For newbies, click on the little person icon at the top right of your screen and scroll to find the Followers tab under the blog/sideblog you need to block a pornbot from.)

*I remember this information from a blog that used to be all about taking down the pornbots. Unfortunately I do not know if that blog is still active, nor can I remember the URL. If anyone knows what blog I'm referring to, and/or if they're still active, please feel free to tag them so others can follow them for more tips!
