Attention New Tumblr Users:
please please please add stuff to your blog so i know you're not a bot. a simple profile picture, bio, and reblogging posts goes a long way.
i occasionally go through my follower list and mass block the accounts that seem like bots and it's getting harder and harder to tell now.
honestly you could just put something in your bio like "not a bot, just new to tumblr" and that would help.
i want to update this by saying that generally, i am not really a fan of telling people what to do on tumblr or how to use it.
but
there are some things that will actively lessen your ability to use tumblr if you don't do them. the biggest one probably being that you change your pfp and write a lil bio (or just put anything there) to show that you are an active and human user. if you don't i'm positive that some blogs will block you on sight if you follow them with a completely blank profile.
you don't have to make your own posts or even reblog posts that you like even though that's how posts circulate on here, likes are essentially just bookmarks or saving posts
as long as you do something to show that you're not a bot account you wont be blocked simply for following an account
