Oh, thank you for sharing your perspective as someone who's done mentoring, that's really interesting! It also makes me wonder what less antagonistic strategies Generation Z might develop to regulate their online experience as they have a chance to grow into themselves. Maybe with any luck, they'll have better ideas on how to help the kids growing up after them?
Same with the "we don't do that here" strategy that I might use at a workplace or a club; there isn't really a "here" on something like Tumblr.
Or if there is a "here", it's the entire site, and no one person or even community can moderate the entirety of that! I guess it's not a surprise if it's a constant brawl of people trying to enforce conflicting community norms on each other.
And yeah, on a more cheerful note, it's always great to find a way two interests connect with each other, isn't it?
