No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Because demand is low, because tumblr is still pretty good?
Tumblr was awful for Discourse™️, there are some legendary headass takes originating from there. A lot of those people moved to Twitter after the Tumblr porn ban, and it slowly has gotten less insufferable.
I'm really surprised that people don't make the connection that Twitter Discourse™️ is Tumblr Discourse™️ but short form. I genuinely think Twitter got magnitudes worse after the Tumblr migration, especially if you're on the music/media/fandom side.
I don't find it really good for that now, either. It's fun for just blasting out random thoughts and forgetting about it as well as mindlessly looking at others; but actually trying to communicate on that site is awful.
This right here is easier, more intuitive, etc.
The height of irony that Tumblr is better than Twitter at what Twitter was originally designed for.
