Entry tags:

how do you currently tag filter on Tumblr?

I used to do this with that Tumblr Savior script thing, but it must have gone glitchy at some point without me noticing, because right now when I add stuff to its filter list it doesn't hide the posts.

I'm trying to not be spoiled for the new X-Men movie until I watch it, and I have been just staying away from Tumblr the last few days, but apparently Tumblr has by now become a thing that I have a routine impulse to check. So having a working tag filter again would be helpful.

The nice thing about xkit is that there's a tweak somewhere & you can enable showing the tags of blocked posts, so you can tell if it's really something you want to see or not-- like if you block "spoilers" and someone tags "#spoilers #x-men first class" and you've already seen that, then you can expand the post & see it. Although in rare cases if someone tags something like "#spoilers #days of future past #they killed raven!!!!!!" then you can be spoiled even without looking at the post. But I like seeing the tags in most cases.

Yeah, but using Tumblr Savior a user who had blocked "spoiler" and "days of future past" wouldn't see the "they killed raven" tag, just "Tumblr Savior has blocked a post tagged #spoiler #days of future past", right? IDK, that's how I remember it working-- I've used xkit for a while now. The feature that shows *all* the tags of a post with a blacklisted tag is new, so people haven't adjusted to it yet.
