Lair of the Faceless Lurker

Make a statement, share a short story, confess something or just tell your friends how much you love them

Thanks once again to everyone, I will miss all of you here on Tumblr, but I hope to see you all again in the future wherever it takes us.

Take care, my dwellers!

Yeah, I was out of state for almost a week, and I come back to see Tumblr officially banning NSFW art, so I think it looks like it’s time to migrate elsewhere.

Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.

Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)

Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,

DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Recently I found more and more files from mixtape.moe became errors 404. I don’t see specific reasons (no minors, no violence, no copyright, no virus and so…), so are they deleting files on their own appreciation (they doesn’t like my face?) or to get some free space, or does they have issues, or anything else ? What’s the process and the reason of these removals ?

Hi everyone, Asarimaniac here, with something we hoped we would never have to do. Sorry this is not some more art that you have come to know us for and follow us for, but if we could have just 2 minutes of your time, it seriously could save our life.

If you got this far, then already, Thank you! So Long story short, we have had to resort to making a ‘fund me’ campaign, we are in a desperate position where we seriously need your help. We were stuck in a country where we were attacked for our sexual orinetation, we then moved and got stuck in a different country with the same and more problems. All we are trying to do is find a place we can be safe, A place for me, my girlfriend, and her daughter.

For the long story and to help, us please find the link at the bottom of this post. If you can't  contribute money to the fund we 100% understand, but you can still help us greatly by sharing this message, just a reblog will be hugely appreciated.

Thank you all again for the incredible support over the years, You have already done so much for us, we could never thank you enough.
