So you want to block Tumblr Live, huh? You’re not alone in your quest for total bliss and clarity, away from the chaotic whirlpool of live streams, chaotic fanfics, and random cat videos that seem to appear out of nowhere. Let’s get into the nitty gritty, shall we? But, spoiler alert: you can’t just hit a single button and banish Tumblr Live off the face of your dashboard like you could with an annoying pop-up ad. Who wouldn’t want that level of control?
To start with, Tumblr Live is like that clingy friend who just can’t take a hint – it’s there whether you want it or not. What you can do, though, is snooze this feature from your dashboard settings for a little peace and quiet. Imagine this: you’re sitting there in your pajamas, sipping iced coffee, and feeling the need to focus on that fiction you’ve been procrastinating on, when suddenly, a live stream interrupts your groove. Frustrating, right? Fear not, for a temporary solution exists!
You can put Tumblr Live into a deep sleep for the next 30 days. Yes, you heard me right! It’s like hitting ‘snooze’ on your alarm for that much-needed extra Z’s—only this time, you won’t feel guilty about it. Here’s how you do it: Log onto your Tumblr dashboard, go to Settings, and there you’ll find an option to snooze Tumblr Live. It’s like a small vacation from the incessant notifications and chaotic feeds. You get to breathe easy for a month, and if you feel so inclined, you can set it up again when the live stream blues hit again!
But be warned: after the 30 days, you might find yourself peeking back into the live world, like a moth drawn to a flame. This loving embrace of chaos can reignite unexpectedly. If you’re the type of person who can’t help but swipe right on that live stream the minute you’re tempted, the snooze button can start to feel more like a tease than a solution.
You may still be left wondering, “But what if I don’t ever want to go back? Is there a way to delete my connection to Tumblr Live forever?” Unfortunately, the gods of Tumblr have not bestowed upon us this power. The only way to escape for the truly determined souls is to cut ties with their terms of service, and for that, you’ll have to reach out to their support. Think of it like calling to cancel the subscription to that streaming service you never watch (you know the one).
If you’re not interested in their live antics anymore and can’t stand the thought of it for even a second, contacting Tumblr support is the way to go. Just imagine the look on their virtual faces when they read your request: “Dear Tumblr, I want to part ways with your Live feature. Please help me!” This might unleash a whirlpool of paperwork, but if you’re ready to take that plunge, it’ll be worth the effort.
If it’s just the live part of Tumblr you want to avoid, then go forth and experiment with that snooze button. Bask in the silence and enjoy unfettered creativity! Let’s face it – there’s nothing quite like the sound of crickets or the rustle of pages turning when you’re focused on something more exciting, like staring into the void or rewatching your favorite show for the fiftieth time.
