Alright, Tumblr aficionados, let’s dive into the world of anonymity and block lists, shall we? So, you’ve taken a brave step and blocked a user on Tumblr—perhaps they were an odious troll or just couldn’t grasp the concept of personal space, who’s to say? But now, there’s an itch in the back of your mind: “Can I still get anonymous asks from this blocked user?”
Let’s untangle this web. When you block a user on Tumblr, it’s like shutting the door in their face while yelling, “Not today, buddy!” That block not only prevents them from sending you those pesky messages but also—here’s the kicker—blocks their IP. This means that any anonymous ask they send your way is about as welcome as a mosquito at a barbecue. In short, you can bid adieu to those anonymous queries from that particular user.
But wait, there’s more! Blocking doesn’t stop them from casually stalking your blog through the non-anonymous route. Oh joy. So while you can snuff out the darkness of their anonymous asks, they can still saunter into your life and like your posts or reblog your delightful memes. It’s like having a mosquito-free barbecue on one side of the fence while the annoying neighbor peeks through the bushes. Nothing screams “privacy” quite like that!
If you prefer a more robust approach to handling anonymous asks without the chance of an unwanted virtual visitor slipping through, guess what? You can disable anonymous asks altogether in your blog settings! Just think of it as putting up a “No Solicitors” sign in front of your digital castle. This way, you can lounge in your virtual hammock without worrying about surprise troll attacks.
So there you have it, Tumblr explorers! While you can fob off anonymous asks from blocked users, remember that they can still throw confetti all over your posts and keep lurking like that one uncle who won’t leave the party. Choose your settings wisely, and keep your online kingdom troll-free!
