I have been unable to submit any kind of ticket or report via your website, so I am sending this via email. I expect a human being to read and respond to this.

My blog was doe-eyed-changeling. While the url had changed multiple times, it was the same account I’d used since 2012. I was abruptly terminated without reason or recourse in late 2025 and my appeal and support requests were ignored.

I don’t actually care if tumblr’s terms then or now indicate that you, the staff, can revoke someone’s right to use your website whenever for any reason. That’s ridiculous and allowing random members of staff to ban or terminate users on a whim is, to be frank, an incredibly stupid way to run a platform.

Your unchecked biases and vibes-based ban waves reveal a clear contempt and active effort to silence specific members of your own website that any given staff member may view as “undesirable.” Given the users being banned are overwhelmingly trans women and self-described transfeminists, it’s very clear where staff’s values lie. It paints an unflattering self-portrait to continue these ban waves while users on the promoted tag “reichblr” and britts-galaxy-brain and ridafi14, users spearheading the harassment campaigns on your “undesirable” users, have been easily and swiftly reinstated by staff.

Tumblr’s repeated insistence on platforming perpetrators of hate crimes (such as doxxing and suicide baiting, which britts-galaxy-brain has done and encouraged her followers to do multiple times on tumblr and hate forum kiwifarms) is disgusting. Tumblr must handle these issues in earnest rather than proposing unwanted and unnecessary UI changes that worsen the platform. There are real issues on the website, and the structure of reblogs is not one of them.

I could list the scores of my friends staff has banned unjustly that should have their accounts back, or request my own 14-year-old blog back, or demand the actual enforced banning of the harassers, and that would be the bare minimum. I think staff knows well what they’re doing though, and should rightfully expect legal repercussions for such discriminatory treatment of its own user base. This is not a threat or indication that I personally have sought legal counsel, as I have not. I’m just not an idiot and recognize illegal levels of unjust treatment when I see it.

Tumblr must change its approach to hosting its platform and actually protect its users lest it become a clone of kiwifarms. Calling Tumblr “the queerest place on the internet” while targeting the most vulnerable, marginalized members and platforming self-described nazis is disgusting and embarrassing, to say the least. Do better.

i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, "i feel very safe with you because you don't do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling."

sword is also wide but that

is irrelevant.
