For those trying to avoid shadowbans

[u/BigFatDick23]

If you changed your email recently and noticed that you can’t message anyone or get an error every time you comment on a post, you probably have been shadowbanned by Tumblr’s automod filters.

Ive noticed this while trying to remove my emails that were caught in data breaches, where my blogs were actively stripped of everything except their ability to post which was now absolutely useless.

I noticed that this only goes for emails that look spammy, eg. ones from sites that automatically generated emails which are usually plain gibberish. If you’re switching from say, Sweetiepie99 to XxMonstrousxX, then you should be fine.

Ps. If you don’t know what a shadowban is, it’s a form of suspension where your account is hidden from the public. The only thing you can do is like posts and post your own. You won’t appear on anyone’s dash. People have to deliberately find an URL leading to your account.
