Policy is what is said, and that’s often a huge gap between what actually happens.
Tumblr had a huge content moderation issue where (based on my personal experience) I’m guessing there are incentives in place around flagging explicit content. I’ve never posted or reblogged anything that would break this policy, but every single post I make on my main blog is automatically flagged as explicit/adult content (eg a photo of my cat) and going though a content appeal I’d say 50% the human-reviewed content appeal fails and my post gets hidden.
I ended up creating a separate blog that I now post content to, and then reblog to my main account.
It’s impossible to get a hold of any support to try and resolve.
Despite non-existent support and increasingly buggy apps, it’s still the best online community I’ve found and I love it :)
We'll try to get better about support, bugginess, and account switching should be a lot nicer so you can actually use Tumblr as different personas when you want to.
