#dismiss

[wip]

Has there been a change to the 'dismiss' function in the 'include followed tag posts' feature? Where in the past a dismissed post might show up after a few weeks or so, lately it seems to only dismiss a post for the current dash view, with the dismissed post more often than not popping up again the next time the dash is refreshed.

I dismiss posts either because I do not want to see the content in the highlighted post or because I'd like to see something new from the tag. Right now both outcomes are impossible as I keep getting served the same posts constantly despite dismissing them. If I visit the tag itself, it's clear that there are plenty of new posts being added, so it's not a question of there being no new posts to highlight!

This seems to be a continuous problem with any dismiss function on this site (dismissing recommended blogs seems to be a placebo function, too). This makes the label of the function v. its outcome completely at odds and quite confusing to both seasoned and new users alike. Is there any way to get the dismiss function to do what it implies it should do: dismiss the recommended post or blog from being recommended completely?

Answer: Hello, @queen-mabs-revenge!

Thanks for getting in touch with this. We believe this might be a bug, so we are running some tests to try and get to the bottom of it. We will be back in touch as soon as we have any updates for you—keep an eye here, on WIP, and over at @changes for news.

Hopefully we will have an update for you before long.

Best,

This year, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.

Jesus fucking christ is there a way to permanently DISMISS all the weird-ass posts that are suggested by tumblr with Xkit extension or in options?? Because every time I open my dash I get posts that are so random and when I click dismiss after few scrolls I get ANOTHER FUCKING ONE which is NOTHING I want to see on my dash. I'm gonna go ballistic over that, DON'T TRY TO SPOON FEED ME WITH SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO SEE JESUS

For real tho, is there any way to DELETE THAT in options or with Xkit???

"internet historian's alt-right anyways" "great day to have never liked james somerton" "never even heard of illuminaughtii before this lol"

that's great buddy but don't go around thinking you're immune to this. if you're not looking for plagiarism, you likely won't notice it unless its egregiously obvious. hell, you've probably consumed plagiarized content without even realizing it. even hbomb pointed out that these people disguised what they presented pretty well as long as you didn't try and dig deeper. don't come away just thinking of this as a callout piece, take this as an important lesson about vetting your sources. if googling scripts in quotes was enough to expose the original, we should all start doing that shit!!

edit: it got a little too doomer-y a little too fast so one quick addition

this is hbomb's curated playlist of queer creators, many of whom were victims of plagiarism

this is producer kat on reddit calling for any more plagiarism discoveries and for queer content creators to be uplifted

please take some time to uplift these creators and recommend any you know! if you can help uncover more of the original creators whose work was lifted that would be great too :)

UPDATE- From Hbomb's twitter: "We're in the process of cataloguing everyone James Somerton plagiarised and finding their contact information. Which is quite a task, so to help us out: If you see this and happen to be one of the people Somerton stole from, please email us at contact@hbomb.zone"
