here's some instructions for anyone who doesn't know how to opt out:

login in on desktop, it's not available on mobile yet

click "Account"

click on your blog

go to "Blog Settings"

go to "Visibility"

Scroll down to the bottom option

turn the toggle ON, not off

i've been excusively desktop for years, i know where the setting is, i did not have it at the time

I saw some asks about blacklisting on mobile, and the confirmed answer is exactly that; it's not possible, unless you log into and use your Tumblr account on specialised apps. I don't think mobile users realise so much that there is no official blacklist feature on Tumblr desktop either, and that blacklisting is merely a result of unofficial browser plug-ins and extensions. Tumblr has never had an official blacklist feature, and I doubt that it ever will any time soon, unfortunately. :(

Yeah, it’s become so commonplace to use third-party software/extensions to blacklist on desktop that it’s sort of become lost in translation that tumblr itself doesn’t have that feature?? I’m guilty of that myself lol, I’ve been using xkit on desktop for so long that I always assume that everyone else does too, but that’s really not the case ^^;;

There used to be an xkit app on the app store that had blacklisting too! But it’s not there anymore, and even if it still existed, it wasn’t free like it is on desktop, which is a bummer....I’m surprised that at this point there aren’t more blacklisting options for mobile; the app has been around since at least 2013/2014? But maybe it’s just harder to program that sort of thing on phones, idk

Any way you look at it it’s a bummer if you’re a mobile user, back when I was primarily on desktop xkit did a great job of blocking things that I blacklisted, but now that I really only answer asks/edit my blog on desktop and use mobile for everything else, it’s....pretty frustrating lmao, I’ve just sort of resigned myself to being bombarded with posts that I’d rather not see ^^;

Maybe @staff figures that since everyone uses xkit and other extensions like tumblr savior, they don’t need to put in the extra effort to make a blacklisting feature themselves? If that’s the case, then....that’s pretty scummy :/
