update!

tumblr review process has decided that this image indeed needs a content label.

this also reveals that humans don't read secondary appeals

WE CAN NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!

Quick PSA for y'all. I'm genuinely concerned that everyone is just going to accept this and go along with it in a few days. In fact, I bet that's what Tumblr is hoping for.

However, just simply writing angry comments and reblogs most likely won't do enough. We need to take this and shove it back down their throats.

Go out of your way to contact them.

Go to their Instagram, their Twitter, user support, parent company, etc. LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL (RESPECTFULLY)

Everyone (including myself) is angry at what the higher ups in the Tumblr HQ, but we gotta remember that simply cursing at them won't fix anything. We need to be clear, to the point, and respectful.

That's all I really have to say. Take this and blow it up. We need to keep fighting back, not just giving in after a few days.

Tumblr is such a global phenomenon that even in the depths of a mysterious rainforest the local residents were rejoicing at the news that the tumblr gods had responded quickly to the huge international protest against the reblog chain changes, and had rolled those changes back quickly to the status quo ante.

Algy too was profoundly grateful and relieved that those in charge of such things at tumblr had listened to their loyal users and acted so quickly, for he knew that not all social media platforms would have been so responsive, or so responsible, (and indeed others have already failed in that respect). Algy would have been devastated to lose his wonderful tumblr friends, or to be unable to share his own adventures on this amazing, quirky platform which reaches his friends all around the world; he is quite sure that there is no other community like tumblr, and he fervently hopes that it can be preserved.

So Algy happily joined the impromptu party which was being held by the local forest residents to celebrate the good news, and as he sang along to a tune on the accordion, with an exotic rainforest rhythm, he made up his own words to thank everyone on tumblr who had raised their voices and taken action to ensure that the reblog change which was so damaging to us all was reversed.

Algy sends you all his very fluffiest thanks, and hopes you will join him in the celebrations 🎉🎉🎉

Can't recommend direct action enough for those of us who were supporters until now.
