Tumblr is a social media platform that gained popularity in the 2010s. Users maintain blogs (potentially multiple per account) that allow them to publish original posts as well as "reblogging" others' posts. Reblogs function similarly to Twitter's "retweet" function but allow optional additions to the post body (which are displayed under the original posts) or to tags (displayed only on the reblogger's blog). This allows multiple discussions to branch off from an original post. | Tumblr is a social media platform that gained popularity in the 2010s.

Many people use Tumblr to share proposed designs for non-binary flags, some of which gain popularity or status as the "default" flag for a specific identity, traveling far beyond Tumblr. Some users also share alternative flag designs, whether out of a distaste for existing designs or simply for creative enjoyment. | |||
