But that last longer, because a day wont change that much.

I think we all got the poll with the faces, so we could leave our opinions about why we’re not feeling good using the app, but that’s it.

They didn’t lose that much, because it was just a day, and a day won’t make a HUGE difference (considering the number of people that didn’t protest & the people that logged in a couple of minutes/hours later that day)

So, let’s try to make another protest, that lasts longer.

Would be a week too much?

What about a ‘Christmas Break’?

Tell me what y'all think, so we can all agree!

UPDATE:

I saw people commenting that we should log off once a week. It’s a really good idea since I think a lot of us are addicted to this app!

UPDATE 2:

I saw a lot of people that liked this whole idea, and that are supporting this. So, I think all Wednesdays from tomorrow we should log off.

Let’s make this last until January/February. (or until they change this shit)

Why should we do it?

Because I’m not the only one that wants a REAL better and positive Tumblr, without the porn bots, racists, etc. We need to let staff now that the real problem here is not NSFW content!

And, here, take this alternative, if you don’t want to participate in the log off protest:

There’s a possibility that the poll with the faces appears twice to an user, so, please, leave honest feedback there.

Here’s a copypaste from another thing I wrote earlier today:

There’s a strong and dangerous Libertarian ideology that runs deep in Silicon Valley that directly and indirectly supports actions that quite tellingly never affect CIS white hetero men, but have profoundly dangerous and harmful consequences for literally every other group of people.

Through actions like Tumblr’s upcoming ban that will (through post flagging) disproportionately affect LGBTQ people, like Jack Dorsey’s refusal to address the hate and white supremacy on Twitter, like Facebook’s decision to use right-wing anti-Semitic dogwhistles to deflect attention from its systemic privacy violations, like Reddit’s embrace of right-wing and white nationalist users, it is impossible to deny that the decision makers in the board rooms at the biggest social media platforms are at the very least sympathetic to the voices and ideas of white supremacists and misogynists, and at worst in total agreement with their positions. Every choice these people make moves what should be fringe voices and ideas further and further into the mainstream, while they marginalize and punish nonviolent voices that call for justice and equality.

Social media is broken and it’s the fault of the failed leaders at the main social media platforms, who will be remembered with disdain and contempt by history.

                       !!!!!!!!! BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!

The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled former sex slave Cyntoia Brown MUST serve 51 years in prison before she is eligible for parole.

According to them:

“In today’s unanimous decision, the Tennessee Supreme Court explained that, under state law, a life sentence is a determinate sentence of 60 years,” the court wrote. “However, the sixty-year sentence can be reduced by up to 15 percent, or 9 years, by earning various sentence credits (good behavior. & getting involved in prison based education programs while incarcerated) Therefore, the Supreme Court concluded that a defendant serving a life sentence for a first-degree murder committed on or after July 1, 1995, may be eligible for release after serving at least 51 years of the sentence.“

For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:

Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.

Kut Throat abused her physically and sexually throughout the approximately three week period in which she lived with him.

After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.
