#maybe i'm shadowbanned?

[therealdisneyfan2319]

Hey so my posts aren’t showing up in the tags :/ 

Any suggestions?  I have no idea what to do 

[storekn1fe]

my inbox keeps saying i've got an ask in it when it's empty, does anyone know if getting shadowbanned makes asks someone has sent invisible? and if you've been sending me asks and i haven't answered them, me not actually seeing them is probably why, so maybe try to send it on anon?

just letting you know, tumblr removed you from my following list. Saw that you weren't on it and panicked you got nuked 😭

akgdjfhnkjgr still goin strong somehow!!!

okay this is bullshit i reposted it, deleted the tags when it didn't work again, and still nothing. Of course fretting over the numbers isn't good but also I'm not going to keep up a piece I spent over 20 hours on when nobody can see it, so I guess I'll try again later, or tomorrow? Man I'm disappointed I'm really proud of this one :C

Hi! I was wondering if you had any tips on how to get more people to see your fics??

I uploaded a austin fic but like literally nobody saw it lol

Oh, Alannah darlin', I wish I knew. I truly do. I am honestly so confused and frustrated with Tumblr right now because of things like this. I mean, I'm definitely not seeing the traffic I used to and I know I'm not seeing the posts of people I follow in my feed like I should. I don't know what changes the app made recently, but holy hell, it makes me want to throw my phone at the wall. Of course, this could also be attributed to less action in the fandom in general, but after talking with some people, it seems like things are amiss. I'm hearing rumors of shadow banning happening, and this makes me lose my mind even more. And don't get me started on the censorship and stupidity of trying to make this like other apps. Like the whole point is that it's NOT like other social media!

(Okay, sorry, rant over.)

With that said, if things were working as they should, tagging your story well and including people who you know might want to read it in your @ mentions helps. Also, posting at certain times of day might increase your traffic. I also find using GIFs/moodboards/pics to draw attention is helpful.

Thanks for the ask, baby! I wish I had more encouraging or knowledgable things to say! 💗

"Guy?"

"(G) Please go away, Captain. I'm trying to sleep!"

"I got word from La Demonia that you and Phoebus got into a fight."

"(G) Splendid, Captain. Did she also get news that water is wet?"

"The fight had you say something that really broke Phoebus."

"(G) Big news! Congratulate me for not doing so literally by sneezing on him!"

"Guy… tell me what happened, friend."

"(G) I told him he's a useless piece of shit who should stop fucking things up."

The walls and floorboards of the ship groan.

"(G) And those too, but I was giving the summary."

"…Guy. Do you know why you are finding yourself sleeping all day?"

"(G) Because my brother is so useless, he can't even even lift a drinking straw without a golem doing it for him."

The Captain sighs. "I would have thought you'd have more empathy for your brother than this…"

"(G) Empathy… empathy?! Let me tell you something about empathy, Captain--

"(G) 'Empathy' plagued me my entire life when it came to my brother, from when our stepfather tried to force conversion onto him, to when I stepped up to continue Phoebus' studies in the university so he could become a doctor when he was ready to return. 'Empathy' turned me into a kept man for a lord who wanted me dead. 'Empathy' had me agree to follow my brother to the ends of the earth was filled with starvation, mutinies, and battles we didn't win. 'Empathy' gave me a fever that would have killed me. 'Empathy' sold my soul to the Master.

"(G) I don't want to hear a lick of a lesson on 'empathy' when all it did is fuck me over harder than any toy up my orifices! I don't care if he's my brother! I don't care if you're my Captain!"

"……"

"(G) …. I did it again, I'm sorry, Captain! I didn't mean-"

"Guy. You don't have to apologize for feeling alone and that what you've done is not appreciated. You are in your right to be angry, even with me for approaching you like this. I didn't come to chastise you for being bitter, or for wanting to get away from your brother's shadow."

"(G) ……………"

"I wanted to let you know…. that your brother had a chance to make things right with Miss Taryn. He had the choice to do whatever he wanted with your body given you are much stronger than he is.

"He decided against it, knowing full well it would be against your consent. The bar may be low on what Phoebus can do as an accomplishment--but remember you are identical, especially genetically. He could have kept silent about the body swap and did whatever he wanted because you are the stronger, more physically capable brother. No one would be the wiser--not to you or Miss Taryn. But he still decided against what would essentially be assault on your end. Not only because it's wrong--but because he thought of your well-being."

"(G)……………."

"Of course, he still got slapped for thinking with the head between his legs instead of the ones on his shoulders, but I can't blame him given 1.) he got body swapped, 2.) he got body swapped with the Sin of Lust, and 3.) this is Miss Taryn we're talking about. So it seems the two of them aren't going to-"

"(G) Wait, he was slapped?! Is he okay??"

"Why don't you ask him?"

"(G) …………………………."

"I know you don't want to forgive him for what he's said the past winter. I know you don't want anything to do with Phoebus ever again. You are in your right to do so. But now that you are in his body and he has suffered enough in yours-

"Know there is a reason you are sleeping all day and cannot get up. Know there is a reason you are feeling deep dread and guilt for something you didn't do. Know there is a reason why Phoebus is scared to do anything. Know there is a reason why he is unable to improve and change. And above all…..

"Know you just fought with Phoebus using his face, his voice… directed at him. After he came to you not to scold you for having a brand--but out of concern as to why you didn't trust him enough in the first place when it mattered the most."

"(G) Captain, I-....."

"I'll see if I can talk to him if he's okay. You have maybe three hours left to the body swap. Go ahead and rest. It'll be over soon."

hey does anyone else have this bug where certain blogs don't appear in your activity page/notes??

like a mutual would rb a post from me. i see on my dash they rbed it from me. but it's not on my activity page. this blog never appears there

OR one that's truly driving me crazy is sometimes i see my post has notes on it, usually a like and a reblog, but when i check who left them the list is empty (even when switching between the "no comments" and "comments and tags" tabs thingie in the rbs), and nothing appears in my activity either ofc

do either of those happen to any of you too??

Trying to see if there's a thing to automatically count how much time has passed since I was last shadowbanned (considering how the first time it was fixed, the fix only lasted 2 days, the second fix lasted only one day).

So tumblr keeps on shadowbanning Siraj's accounts and he tries to remake of course, but right now, he is exhausted with  how targeted these bans have started to feel.  To be honest, Siraj is tired of a lot of things: the never ending atrocity, the hunger, the cold, and of course, he is tired of barely making any progress in the  campaign at all. He wanted to make a post today but since he doesn’t have the energy to travel all the way to Deir-al Balah for an Internet connection, I am writing this on behalf of him. Please read through this if possible; these are Siraj Abudayeh's own words:

A perception gained through hearing is merely a poor reflection of the actual, be it about events concerning Gaza, Ramallah, Paris or USA.

It can't ever be enough even if you diligently follow the news. Or if you read every single article or watch every video that maybe available online. For there are things present in the air of Gaza- rotten and burnt smell, metallic smoke that sticks to the mouth and coats the nostrils, poison that is inhaled with every breathe and chemicals taken into the lungs- that no video can capture.

So of course there is a difference! It is a difference between reading the phrase, “I waited seven hours for a bottle of water,” and actually being parched and having to wait hours for some semi-polluted water. There is a difference between reading about Gazan children losing their childhoods, and actually having to see your son despairingly cry out “BREAD!” There is a difference between hearing about a torn tent, and actually having to live in it, that too if you were lucky to afford one.

There is always a difference between reading/hearing it and LIVING it. For all this, I want to say that the one who is only hearing about it does not have the right to draw up conclusions about the needs of the person living the nightmare. They have no right to either question his relentless pursuit for his cause, nor expect that he can be steadfast and not feel exhaustion. There is a difference between what we know and what others have the privilege of not knowing: there is a difference, there is a DIFFERENCE. The meaning is simple, there is always a difference.

In the last 2 days, we have seen some disturbing comments being made about the genocide going on in Gaza. I don't actually have anything to say regarding such banal behavior but I do request you to read what Gazans have to say. Ultimately Palestine will be free, with or without us, but I hope that when we chanted "Free Palestine", there was some truth to it.

i should see if i post an imagine or something and tag it if that'll show up. because my posts have shown up before i still get notes on that one thing i made a billion years ago. maybe tumblr just doesn't want me to promo myself (boo tomato tomato tomato)
