If that post is the one I think it is, all someone means by reblogging it is that they won't be posting things like screamers or pulling potentially cruel pranks like pretending to have died or trying to convince a friend that they don't actually know each other or something.

The usage of safe space is incorrect, but I really don't see how it's ridiculous to inform your followers that you won't be pulling any intentionally cruel pranks on April Fools'.

If you don't plan to do it, just don't do it. Proceed as usual. Announcing it and explicitly labeling the act as providing a safe space is patently ridiculous.

I already said that the usage of safe space in that post isn't correct. I just still don't see how announcing it is ridiculous. Unnecessary, perhaps, but hardly batshit. People give their followers a heads up on tons of things. They announce when they'll be running on a queue, when they'll be unable to answer messages, when they'll be liveblogging something, what their spoiler tags are... "I'm not going to post any screamers on April Fools' Day, don't worry!" just doesn't seem that weird, sorry.

Because it is literally the announcement of a non-event. Liveblogging, spoilers, and radio silence can all affect followers. The lack of something won't, unless they were actively expecting it to be there.

Some people do expect that something to be there though? Have you never avoided looking at a website because you knew there was an event going on that would irritate you?

Honestly, it kinda sounds like you're just reaching for another reason to mock Tumblr. There are plenty of reasons out there already. Not every little thing that happens on Tumblr does is worth clutching your pearls over.

That's rich! Ha!

Uhhh, okay...?

If you want to be that pedantic about it, then yes, the announcement is merely unnecessary. Associating it with safe spaces is the part that makes it ridiculous. In this instance, they go hand in hand.

Maybe so people won't be afraid to look at videos or gifs or to click links posted on that person's blog that day?
