i just want to talk about this in hopes that someone from the Tumblr staff actually sees it and takes it seriously—not just an AI that flags this post for no reason.

Sorry for the sudden rant, but this goes out mostly to my mutual @franticfrolicsgonemad (aka fanficwriter284), who’s been going through it thanks to Tumblr First, they were shadowbanned for no clear reason, and now their account has been completely terminated. They tried reaching out to support, but nothing came from it—and who knows if Tumblr will even bother now?

It’s not just them either—this is happening to a lot of people, and I’m honestly so tired of it. As someone who’s lost years of work before on another app, I know how much it hurts and feels hopeless to start all over again (even if that’s not what this is about).

I just really hope Tumblr starts fixing some of these issues… and there are definitely a few i can mention at the top of my head. For example, the constant flood of p@rn bots in the community section. As a mod, they used to show up maybe once a week. Now it’s every few days, no matter what I do to report and ban it.

I can tell the staff is somewhat trying their best to control this issue in particular, and I can imagine its not easy, but please, Tumblr. Do better for your users.

Here's their new page.
