i have seen a lot of terrible tagging on my dash lately and its time to fix that up. please listen to me
WORST:
- “#tw” or “#trigger warning” by itself in a separate tag. there are a wide variety of triggers and putting them all under a big umbrella will either block out a lot of content that would be fine for the blacklister to view, or it just wouldn’t be caught under their tumblr savior because they dont WANT to blacklist such a broad tag. basically just… dont do this
BAD:
- “#tw: (trigger)”, “#tw (trigger)”, “#trigger warning (trigger)” etc (anything with tw in front). there are a lot of varieties of this and that’s the issue. it’s hard and tedious and stressful for the blacklister to find every variety used by the people they follow just so they dont have to see one thing. a lot of people only blacklist tags of things (e.g. “#[trigger]” WITH the hashtag) so that tumblr savior won’t block out every single mention of the word.
GOOD:
- ”#(trigger) tw", “#(trigger) content”, or just simply “#(trigger)” will allow the blacklister to simply block the trigger word itself OR the trigger word with the hashtag. both will be caught and will be equally effective for whatever purposes the blacklister desires
