#idk which tags to add that aren't literally tag-spamming

[hermitcyclop]

This poll is born out of an observation: most trans homestuck content (fanarts, fanfics, meta/theories, etc) seems to be created by trans fans. I'd like to confirm or infirm this observation with this poll.

Obviously there will be bias, I'm not seeking hard data but to see if a trend emerges. The same poll will be posted on twitter and r/homestuck.

I think at least part of the reason why Reddit refugees feel so free and reblog everything is because they saw none of the weird etiquettes, guilt tripping and agressiveness some of Tumblr users grown a lot with.

(I'm actually curious what other people think about it so Please stick with me for a moment and say your thoughts. I'm interested!)

Some small portion of people on this site have a genuine fear of reblog spamming someone bc 'what if they hate it' or 'i might get blocked', and some small bit of bloggers would actually block you for spam of notes.

Some of a bit more popular bloggers can mock you or block you for literally anything you happen to write under their post. Doesn't even have to be wildly rude.

Some of bit more popular bloggers might write a fun post you think is relatable, so you comment on it, and few hours later you see them write a complaint 'ugh why some randos write under my posts. I don't care. I write only for my friends'.

Some bloggers will block you for leaving the wrong tags under their post but it's not always obvious what are the wrong tags. You might even missword something only slightly and it is going to get you blocked

If you are a person then your opinions aren't always right. If you are an active commenter to that, it comes with an extra risk of getting a mob latched onto you and not accepting that you could've changed your mind.

Some people, which i think came from Twitter bc Twitter works like that in 80%, go like 'you have to create your own post. Do not add onto mine.'

Some small portion of artists, which is actually pretty weird, might even block you for only liking their art without reblogging it. And i know at least one person who, because of that, never likes anything and mostly interacts in only reblog queues (cause queue = life), bc leaving a like beforehand might lead to a tiring post complaint from the op or a block.

And it's also like all valid and cool, everyone can do with their blogs whatever they want, and everyone can block anyone for anything they want. It's cool if you don't care about getting a block and it's cool if you care.

The thing is, i just don't think it's a web culture that nurtures interactions between the users that much, and in my mind that's actually part of the reason why for recent years reblogging become lesser to clicking the like button.

And after some years of being here and changing from my more interactive beginnings, to less interactive and more wary, and seeing how some people interact, i can feel i'm not the only one who thinks that way, though it might be not that popular opinion idk.

Edit: i forgot to mention. Redditors please don't change your happy interactive ways. You are all sunshines and this website needs people like you. Please pay not much mind to those who happen to be weirdly aggresive💜
