Dear new followers,

Change your avatar, put anything in your title! Did you know that when lurking here, you can just hit the reblog (two arrows) button to keep a copy of the post/art on your blog and turn your blog in a scrapbook of stuff you liked? It works a lot better than just liking a post and makes people who post stuff happy! (you can also search your blog to see those posts again later that way!)

And if you made a side blog to be active on instead, know that your main blog is the visible one in follow and like notifications, so make sure to check that too!

#hello new people! welcome and take care! #and sorry to people who have been here for a long time i know i've been making too many posts about this #this is the last one though (and i hope the ridiculousness made you smile at least) #i'm pining it and will stop worrying about blocking real people because i can't #do you know how many default empty blogs follow me on the regular? which i know for a FACT are mostly bots with real people sprinkled in #and this is my SIDE ACCOUNT. which means i have to block them MANUALLY. #and that's enough work without feeling guilty about blocking maybe people maybe spam on top of it #your destiny is in your own hands #nawy's comics #nawy's edits #nawy's art #nawy's doodles #nawy's 3d #bsd #for visibility sorry #important

Oh great, I’m being spammed followed by bots again 🫠

Raise your hand if you’re an actual follower ✋ cause at this point I think I have like 10 human followers and the other 8000 are my personal Roomba army

What are the qualifications for bots to be like “oh this persons worth a follow” I don’t feel like I post enough to warrant this 😂😂

#spam bots #rat rambles #there’s too many of them for me to be bothered trying to block them lol

[sleepysheepytea]

dude.

ok but like actually who is this

this is getting way out of hand

#i have a thick skin but wow #is this someone i know #theres no way this is just some random person #ive blocked all of them but wow #this is all within the span of my last post too #so this has to be one person #ive blocked tons of bots so my blocked tab isnt really helping #negative #spam #if this is someone i know please just confront me face to face

I came here to ramble about tma and stuff and instead of that all I get are bots talking to me. I'm not interested in normal socialization in the first place???? Why am i being targeted by their algorithms??? I came to Tumblr to be weird and maybe interact with another weird human being but the bots are a bit too much for my introvert ass

#shitpost #tumblr bots #spam bots #i like being weird #random thoughts #too tired of blocking bots #anyway who wants to talk about tma #tma thoughts #tma shitpost

#kamikaze kaitou jeanne #phantom thief jeanne #kato michiaki #rip: hotwaterandmilk #anime music #anime ost #magical girl anime #just got back #spent about 3 hours blocking hundreds of spam bots #wtf happened while i was gone? #anyway i'm too tired to edit scans & i have work in the morning #so here's a classic checkmate bgm from the kkj ost #everything sounds like midi files #i'm in throwback heaven

[bigmammallama5]

has your interaction gone down a lot? your posts are still showing up on my dash as normal

yes, though over the past few years ive never really liked to pay attention to number of notes per day bc that's just too easy to get stupidly obsessed with them (i do look at the activity tab though bc i like to look at peoples tags lol). based on that graph i was averaging a couple thousand notes a day, but now it's under 500 a day since flagging. so people definitely aren't seeing my posts even when i have refrained from reblogging things (bc i know it wont reach people if they have their settings a certain way, so im saving them in drafts).

like. i dont particularly care about number of notes anymore (except for stuff i make bc i DO want people to see that, its the creator in me), but yeah this blog is just nuked now until i can get support to address my appeal. which really sucks bc i follow other artists on here posting way more risque work in 4k color on here, so it's obnoxious that one (properly tagged and community guideline abiding) post made this occur. not to mention im still getting a couple spam bot follows every day.

#ask me stuff! #so its possible that with the influx of spam bots the flagging system has just been ramped up too high #or like #not to be sus but i know there are people that dont like me so i wouldnt be surprised if this was a targeted flagging #which if it was i only ask that those people just block me and move on with their lives #but anyways lol tumblr has my appeal #and if i dont get an answer by tomorrow or wednesday im going to contact automatic and see if i can get a real person #but on the plus side of this ive been able to redirect my emo emotions about this into completing some small projects and picking up others! #so silver lining lol #i just hope i get this blog back show i can share my progress soon #im gonna do some real cool stuff on some pots i have

whoever's still hanging here, what's up?

#i'm questionably alive myself thanks. #i'm gonna be archiving here and likely merlin to start fresh. it's been too long. #i missed writing for fun and not for work and i missed you guys. and i missed my kids. #to be honest i had a difficult time. i've been sick most of the october and spent a bunch of time in the hospital. #and other than that it's been work and family and this course i started. #i honestly have no clue what's been happening on this site i wasn't even lurking. #that's why i think starting fresh is best. #but i super hope y'all are healthy and happy. #i will post new blogs as soon as i get everything in order. #as long as i even remember how to use this site for rping gbhfeds. it's been so long. #also the p*rn bot spam is horrendous. i had to block so many after my absence.

Literally just blocked +50 porn bots by seeing the liked posts of one that was following me, they all have the same aesthetic, but it bothers me that they started liking and rebloging Tumblr popular posts, like hazbin hotel, good omens and even destiel meme, it's still pretty easy to tell it's a bot, but not so long ago it was more obvious, they're evolving, how annoying.

#Tumblr #no idea how to tag this #anyway i blocked them #i saw too much pussy today #i'm going to bed #spam bots #spam blogs

[siphoklansan]

Weird fact: I only started an account on tumblr just to read fics until I see authors saying they’d block empty blogs and i freaked out💀 so i decided y’know what art blog it is i can draw anyway(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

#i had to write in my bio: soon to be art blog!!<33 #cuz i didnt wanna get blocked😭😭 #changed my profile picture too and all that #i swear im not a bot please💔 #☞︎siphok-spams☜︎

[autumnalfallingleaves]

...I just got DM'd by a cryptocurrency bot???

#the p*rn bots are the norm nowadays #but crypto bots??? damn thats a new one on me #not to say they havent been around bc im sure ive blocked spam posts in tags #but now its dms too #beans rambles

[thenameszeon]

I’m gonna go insane I swear to god these stupid NSFW bots keep following me istg I can’t do anything about it

#zeonthoughts #tumblr bots #sex bots #bots #spam bots #p*rn bots #bots keep following me help #please I just wanted to look at art of autistic turtles #and then I get excited when someone follows me #only to realize it was a bot 😭 #at this point imma just take it fr I’m too tired to block them all #btw don’t click on the links #or else your computer dies #thank you :)

[3cheerlinding-zebras]

What the fuck is happening why are hundreds of bots following me

#where the fuck do they come from #my follower count has tripled and it’s just profiles with no pfp #please I can’t block them all I’m too weak #spam bots #bots #tumblr #spam

[purplbear]

I do not wish to play “block-a-bot” anymore.

#spam bots #whack a bot #don’t want to play anymore #so tired of bots #report or block? #sorry tumblr staff #I’m sure you’re tired of bots too

[thesolarsurfer]

I had 52 spam bots follow me OVERNIGHT. That's in addition to the 34 that followed me during the day yesterday. @staff @humans I have screenshots showing these bots are following the same two to twelve blogs to get started, then spreading from there. We are under siege here, with blank profiles in assorted languages, sketchy business blogs, word salad posts, and an actual bonafide male porn bot in just this wave. Look, the Doom Eternal soundtrack is only so long, I don't know how long I can keep blocking them by the dozen.

#spam bots #tumblr spam bot siege of 2023 #like actually help me this is too much #screenshots of NINETY FOUR bots that I have blocked and reported #that's just the ones I've seen between Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon #and doesn't include the first few from before I started documenting the pattern of followed blogs

[coffee-at-annies]

Gentle reminder that if you’re going to follow me or interact with my posts, please update your blog to be non-generic and reblog something. There’s a handful of you that I came this close to blocking cause you’re empty except for a bunch of hockey likes. I don’t care if your likes are popping off. If you haven’t reblogged/created any posts recently or updated the generic blog appearance, you look like spam and you will get blocked. For those of you who are like “I only like posts I don’t follow anyone, why would you block me,” that’s honestly an equally big red flag. Spam bots like and/or follow because they are trying to create links between legitimate blogs and their fake blogs to make them seem real. Don’t imitate their behavior.

#chit chat #I’ve blocked spam/porn bots off of likes on personal posts before #I’ll do it to empty blogs too #I don’t care about the notes #it not like likes boost visibility at all so I can live without just fine
