For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

# This has been reposted here to Lemmy as part of the "Curated Tumblr Project."

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

It's just users using the tags to comment. It's something of an old Tumblr tradition, from before replies were added. Doing things that way means that you could reblog something to your profile, and add commentary about it without visibly changing anything meaningful, since a regular reblog would tack the post onto the end, which you might not want, if you want the post to be seen as it was.
