#this is where I come to escape scary social rules as an autistic person goddammit

[nocinovae]

As a disclaimer for my page. Yea um this.

I’ve never cared for social media interaction etiquette and honestly it’s why other social media scare me. I love that on Tumblr I don’t have to worry about spam liking or that the post I reblogged was from 2 years ago. I like that tumblr doesn’t care.

And since apparently there are some people trying to make dumb rules up Imma just put out there:

I don’t care for any of these “rules” and don’t mind people just not following them around me. I do it for other people but legit just abandon them if you want:

Follow me, talk to me, like my posts from forever ago, legit send asks talking about your day, I do not care.

Only rules people should need to follow are Use common sense and Don’t be a dick.

(And listen to people if you accidentally break those. I doesn’t mean you’re a horrible person. People can mess up just listen to others)

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
