I’m sure at this point many of you have seen my numerous disclaimers about how I am not a wholly reliable source of information regarding the tag bans, but I have a bit more to say, specifically in regards to my own actions going forward.

The list (Linked here) now contains 400 banned tags, the majority of which have been given a hard block. I am not abandoning the list, but I am going to keep the inbox closed for now, for a couple of reasons.

One: I feel that I have contributed to spreading panic and stoking outrage. It was not my intention, but I have gained a platform and I would like to ensure I use it responsibly.

Two: The list has 400 phrases. I’m not saying I won’t continue adding to it, but I believe we’ve reached a point where further edits are not entirely necessary. As the list grows, the blocked tags we find become more and more niche. What we currently have is a good sample size of tags that have been blocked, which shows us the range of tags being affected.

Three: This isn’t quite as big picture, but tbh I’m… really tired. I think I mentioned my chronic illness when #spoonies got banned, but I have myasthenia gravis and my muscles are shit. I’ve been on screens way too much the past 2 days and I have just straight up overexerted my eyes, so. Yeah. I need to rest.

This shit’s gonna get worked out, you guys. I’m sorry if I contributed to anyone’s anxiety. It’s going to be okay!
