We won’t be around on Tumblr tomorrow as we’re joining in the “Log Off” Protest in response to the adult content ban coming into play on December 17th.
We’ll be back on the 18th with posts as usual and we’ll still be posting to our other social media, including Pillowfort (username “AlphaBetaGamer”).
The Log Off protest will last 24 hours isn’t about burning Tumblr to the ground (at least not for us anyway), it’s just a way of letting those higher up know that they’re making a mistake. The loss of ad revenue for that 24 hours will hopefully get that message across.
If you’d like to join in the protest then just don’t post or open the Tumblr app for 24 hours (starting 12 AM EST December 17th).
If you don’t want to join in, that’s cool too - the whole reason Tumblr is the best social media platform is that people are/were free to express themselves however they like. After December 17th, Tumblr will still be a great social media platform, it’ll just be a little less great.
Please also be courteous to the hard-working (and genuinely helpful) Tumblr staff during this time - they only have to enforce the ban, they’re not the ones who decided to implement it.
Hope you all have a great December 17th. Will see you on the 18th. :)
