With all that said, WHY does the app crash incessantly on my brand new phone? It’s the only app I have that does this, so I know the phone itself isn’t the problem. Glitchier than most I’ve used, but I can still do all two of the things I usually do on tumblr with ease, so I can look past it. Probably not a decade old, but they can’t be far at this point. So here’s the thing: I’ve got a phone and an iPad, both of which are ancient by technology standards. As long as I get to scroll mindlessly through my dash and occasionally spit out the odd text post that nobody will read, I’m pretty much set. I could frankly care less about whatever features the app has or what kind of content is allowed in the rules. Let’s go ahead and give content creators the tools to help protect kids, most of us would use it. Most writers include disclaimers on their work stating that underage users should not engage, but for many kids that just makes it seem that much more exciting and harder to resist. ![]() I, personally, enjoy reading/writing fiction that would be inappropriate for younger audiences but, like many content creators, am responsible enough to indicate that it isn’t meant for children. That said, I would recommend that Tumblr add a filter for creators to choose for their content only to be seen by 18+ (or age of adulthood in a region). ![]() I actually appreciate that there are a lot more filters than there used to be because, unfortunately, there are people out there who will exploit others and Tumblr should not be giving them a platform. I, personally, won’t let my kids on Tumblr until they are mature enough to navigate away from things they aren’t ready for… or when they become adults, whichever comes first. ![]() It’s for people who want to immerse themselves in stories and ideas. It’s a weird place where people let their freak flag fly. Tumblr is not for everyone, and it isn’t meant to be.
