this could not be timed worse for Tumblr which is in huge hot water with its userbase already for its CEO breaking his sabbatical to ban a prominent trans user for allegedly threatening him (in a cartoonish manner), and then spending a week personally justifying it increasingly wildly across several platforms. the rumors had already been swirling that this would occur, but this just cements that they were correct
I was able to do it from the app and it was already on. I don’t remember turning it on, so it might be default?
Edit: Just remembered that I did update the app today, so you might need to do that first.
it’s also at blog settings > visibility on desktop
They made an announcement at some point after flipping the switch that noted that some people would be opted out by default based on their blog settings. I think if your blog is set to mature or has certain search parameters turned off already.
It wasn’t on for me or several artists I sent messages to who hadn’t even heard that this had happened, and the general discourse around it was pretty clearly upset about it not being opt out by default.
They must’ve updated the app; at the time I wrote that you couldn’t do it through the app.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the extra info!
I’ve found out that even in Wordpress is opt-out
I hadn’t logged in a while and it was on, weird
I mean, I’ll take that as a good point in Tumblr’s favor.
