#logoffstandup

The ignorance of @staff and the continued poor decision making HAS CONSEQUENCES.

REMOVING NSFW CONTENT WILL;

- damage sex workers livelihoods

- damage artist’s livelihoods

- remove an environment where nsfw content could be viewed through filtering tags, which assisted PTSD survivors & others

- close off opportunities of sexual exploration and education

REMOVING NSFW CONTENT WILL NOT;

- fix the bot problem

- fix the nazi problem

- fix overall company revenue & client base respect&response

GET ANGRY. THIS IS NOT THE TUMBLR WE WANT TO SEE.

TOMORROW, REMEMBER TO

#LOGOFFSTANDUP

We won’t be around on Tumblr tomorrow as we’re joining in the “Log Off” Protest in response to the adult content ban coming into play on December 17th.

We’ll be back on the 18th with posts as usual and we’ll still be posting to our other social media, including Pillowfort (username “AlphaBetaGamer”).

The Log Off protest will last 24 hours isn’t about burning Tumblr to the ground (at least not for us anyway), it’s just a way of letting those higher up know that they’re making a mistake. The loss of ad revenue for that 24 hours will hopefully get that message across.

If you’d like to join in the protest then just don’t post or open the Tumblr app for 24 hours (starting 12 AM EST December 17th). 

If you don’t want to join in, that’s cool too - the whole reason Tumblr is the best social media platform is that people are/were free to express themselves however they like. After December 17th, Tumblr will still be a great social media platform, it’ll just be a little less great.

Please also be courteous to the hard-working (and genuinely helpful) Tumblr staff during this time - they only have to enforce the ban, they’re not the ones who decided to implement it.

You have not listened to the users for the past few years.  All we asked were that you take action against

Porn BOTS

Nazi & Hate Speech

Child porn

Things that actually cause HARM to others.  Instead, you’ve implemented a broken AF bot that’s mowing down flowers instead of pulling the weeds. Flowers that promote identity and education.  I wouldn’t have learned near the amount about myself if it weren’t for the open talk attitude tumblr had before this chaos.  Since you’re not listening to the people, perhaps you will listen to the numbers when we log off tomorrow. 

Here are the new festive icons I was promising. Great timing too, it’s the 17th tomorrow.
