as small as a world and as large as alone

Hi tumblr,

this is to let everyone know that I have a policy of not reblogging any post which says “if you don’t reblog this you’re a bad person,” “if you don’t reblog this I don’t trust you,” “why doesn’t this have more notes,” or similar things. No matter how vitally important the post may be, and no matter whether the demand to reblog the post applies to anyone who might read it, or only to a particular subset.

I don’t reblog things like this because such posts are an anxiety trigger for several of my followers (that I know of, there may be more), and as such present an access barrier. Also, because I think it’s mean and not ok to use that kind of… emotional threat? to get someone to do something so specific and relatively trivial as reblogging a specific thing

Same policy here.

I will sometimes reblog such posts, but only after editing out the threat.
