Can You Block Reblogs on Tumblr? Let’s Dive In!
Ah, the world of Tumblr — a delightful mix of memes, art, and weird obsession with cats. But let’s say you’ve posted something you absolutely don’t want the entire universe to see, and the fear of reblogs suffocates you like a favorite turtleneck on a bad hair day. So, can you block reblogs on Tumblr? Well, let me grab my metaphorical magnifying glass and break it down for you!
First off, let’s be real here: Tumblr doesn’t give you direct control over reblogs. Reblogs are public — it’s their whole thing! So, if Blog A reblogs your post, Blog X can kindly check what Blog A is up to, regardless of your plight. Say it with me: not cool, Tumblr. Sure, you can block a user, but blocking a post? Nope. That’s like trying to put a cat in a bathtub – good luck with that.
However, don’t throw your computer out the window just yet! You can take a few proactive steps. You can deactivate the reblog option for a specific post by going to the settings when you’re creating your post. Still, expect that reblog trail actions from your post will remain public on those brave souls’ blogs who just had to spread the love.
If you’re feeling particularly stalker-ish about these pesky rebloggers, you’ll want to manually block users. To do that: 1. Head over to your Settings on the side blog. 2. Scroll down to the Block List. 3. Add in the usernames of those trolls who are ruining your Tumblr vibes.
You can also block them right from your activity tab by hovering over their blog popup. Yeah, Tumblr has got your back… sometimes!
Let’s also address the Filtered Post Content feature. If you want to pretend those nefarious accounts don’t exist, just add them to your Filtered Post Content, which pushes their posts into a corner. Remember, it doesn’t hide them; it simply filters them out of your feed. You can do this by going to Settings > Account and adding their blog name under Filtered Post Content.
But wait! There’s a difference between Filtered Post Content and Filtered Tags. The former obliterates all mention of that blog, while the latter is like a half-hearted attempt, only getting rid of specific tags.
