#the explosion can take many forms but mostly involves me quietly stewing in upset for a while

[miraclespin]

Sometimes I get notes on a post or something, but when I go to look at it, it's as if it isn't there. The number goes up and everything, but I can't see who liked the post or whatever was done. If this was my other blog, I'd assume it was a note on that one post that I used XKit to block notifications for since it was clogging my feed. I can still see a notification, but I can't see the actual note itself. I sometimes see the time slot when this happens, though.

I don't have any posts that I've done that with on this blog, though, so I have no idea what the cause of it is. I have a couple of guesses, but that's about it:

The note came from a person who I had blocked on my main, but for some reason neglected to properly block on my sideblogs.

The note came from a person who blocked me on my main, but not my sideblog, for some reason, even though you can tell who owns my more active sideblogs because I literally put my main in the description, and usually link back to it somewhere on the blog itself. Though admittedly, I don't really know who pays that much attention to that; I feel like a lot of people here don't pay attention to a lot of the things I try to say that don't relate directly to the fandom, most notably my pinned post with relevant BYF links and a DNI statement writ in bold letters...

So yes, sometimes I'll get what I refer to as "ghost notes", and I wonder about them. It's a little stressful, due to the probable reasons I cannot see them that I mentioned.

#Mun Post #don't mind me too much; just thinking I suppose #up too late at night after having had too much caffeine again #being in the fandom isn't as fun as it used to be; I feel incredibly wary of almost everyone I meet anymore #trying not to step on landmines I don't know exist; or else exploding bc someone stomped all over mine when they were clearly marked #the explosion can take many forms but mostly involves me quietly stewing in upset for a while #which is basically how I respond to coming across others; honestly. #anyways as long as you play by the rules then don't be afraid to talk to me! #I do try to be civil on here at least; tho that's largely contingent on other people doing the same and minding the boundaries I've set
