In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of December 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
If you don’t like what’s going on, this is an easy way to protest. Takes zero effort. They may not listen, but it’s fun to watch their stocks plummet.
I do have a deviantart account I haven’t used it for like 1000 years and going back there really would be a last resort! likewise I sort of might maybe make an instagram but I don’t know what the rules are there about ownership of the work you post so im like, hesitating on that.
I’m not uuhhhh sure what the heck tumblr is trying to do outside of causing people to voluntarily flee (and I ain’t a blog that blogs those thangs that they’re nuking) but hey seems a good time to reblog this because with their impressive track record of failure to discern actual post content heaven knows what and who they’re actually going to delete come December 17 :Tb
so. reblogging. also Pillowfort is down and looks to be that way for a while but I’m open to suggestions on other places to make accounts for \o/
get used to me reblogging this post every other day folks we in this for the long haul <3
if you’re leaving us tomorrow, here’s where else to find me! I’ll still be staying on tumblr until they kick me out (but I will be signing off for the 17th) :Tb
