How to Delete a Follower on Tumblr: The Sneaky Guide
So, you’ve found yourself in the awkward situation of having a follower you wish you could un-follow on Tumblr? Welcome to the not-so-exclusive club, my friend! Unfortunately, Facebook isn’t the only realm with follow-unfollow theatrics. Here’s the deal: you can’t just wave a magical pixel wand and delete individual followers. You have to be a tad dramatic about it. But don’t worry, I’ve got the scoop on how to make it happen in a few simple steps!
Step One: Block and Show Them the Door
Like a best friend who won’t stop texting you at 3 AM, the only way to get rid of that pesky follower is to block them. To do this, follow these luscious steps:
- Go to the profile of the follower you wish to terminate. (You know, the one who seems to think your blog is their sunset view).
- Click the three dots or the settings icon available on their profile and select “Block.”
- Voilà! They can no longer follow your sweet digital presence.
However, keep in mind that blocking will also take away *any* existing connection you had with that follower. So, make sure you’re ready for this digital breakup.
Step Two: The Nuclear Option – Kicking Everyone to the Curb!
Okay, blocking isn’t your style? You’re feeling limited, and you want to make a statement! Here’s where we bring in the big guns: removing all followers at once. Buckle up; this is how it goes:
- Head over to the top right corner of Tumblr—yes, the one that looks like a down arrow next to your screen name.
- Click Settings. You’ll feel like a digital wizard in this little area.
- Next, find the Profile tab.
- Scroll down until you see the option titled “Allow people to follow you” and just toggle that delightful switch off.
Doing this will kick all your followers to the curb at once like it’s a bad Tinder date. Joy! But don’t panic; you can turn it back on whenever you like. Just make sure to send your stars a little chat message reminding them to follow you again because, you know, it’s awkward to just drop off their feed.
Can You Bask in Anonymity?
Ah, the sweet, sweet thought of anonymity! Remember, that following someone is essentially “~bookmarked” and doesn’t really mean they’re lurking in your bushes or keeping tabs on your every move. They don’t get any alerts about your activity (unless you’re living your best life publicly), so no panic there.
In conclusion, if you’re on a mission to shift the digital tides of your Tumblr followers, remember that blocking is your best bet. Of course, if you’re sitting there thinking, “What now?” or have more questions about deleting followers, we’ve got your back!
