To combat this dumb "mature" auto label thing, I'm taking screenshots of posts and if staff eventually replies to my feedback complaining about it instead of their robot email, I'm just going to send them and be like, explain. Please.
Because while some I may agree with, I'd say about 95% of the ones to come across my main feed are dumb and/or heavily biased towards every minority. Namely PoC, LGBT+, and disabled folks. Especially when there's overlap.
Feel free to join me! The more the merrier to get this dumb thing gone. Also left a 1-star review with this, which is what I did with others to hopefully get rid of the "Tumblr live" thing and I'm pretty sure it's part of why we finally got that gone too.
On top of that, for those of us in the US, feel free to also take this energy and idea to help change things with our government. Voting isn't our only power. They're more afraid of us when we're unified. Why else do you think they're trying so hard to tear us apart?
Call reps. Keep them accountable. Protest if you can. Be loud. Be heard. Make them get the dump and his cronies out of office before they make things worse.
Tumblr is a US based site. These roll-outs by the higher ups is a reflection of what they feel like they can get away with because of the current administration and their views.
So do something about it. This is our home. Fight for it.
