We got Tumblr’s attention with our past peaceful protest campaigns

Protest against hate speech

Bring Back Arch Atlas

Maybe it is time we use our beloved Tumblr to protest this sexist policy that marks female nipples as porn. Tumblr is being extreme in what its decision and policies, and is using a useless algorithm that sees Rothko paintings (see @dailyrothko) and flowers and all kinds of non-porn images as porn.

So, on Monday, 12-17-18, we should not post anything on Tumblr, except the above photo, which is available here. NOTE: You can also add these to your avatar to let anyone who visits your site know about this.

As this post suggests, if we have a queue with images, we should add this one to 12-17-18. As part of our protest, we should not do anything on Tumblr for the whole day: no dashboard, no posts, no comments, chat, replies.

Nothing on Tumblr, all day, M, 12-17-18.

Also, please think about putting @staff & @support​ on any and all reblogs of this and any on any posts about this, since this will send them a direct notification of each and every post about this. We need to flood their dashboards so they see we are upset.

Also, please use the staff and support tags.

oh SHOOT well i cant swing 100 but how bout

NO

Yes indeed no nudity but you can find all the discriminatory and hate speech you want!

But wait, the icing on the cake…

…really? Do i need even say anything.

Nope. This site always has been known as a page where people can post their NSFW content, but now it’s not gonna be allowed anymore. I understand that part of that happens cause of people deciding to post illegal bullshit here. But fucking christ, then punish them for that and not everyone else who hasn’t done anything wrong. Hell, there are a lot of artists who make their living off of this. But that’s not being considered here. Rather save your own asses. Just do something to solve whatever issues y’all have bur no, banning it completely is so much easier. That’s just sad.

So shortly after i join tumblr and score a decent success (no need for a single drop of fake modesty here) it´s gonna turn into crap. Just like it happened to me with the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Grrr! Honestly, I´m not sure where to go now (I´m open to suggestions). I liked tumblr´s wide base and its easy-to-work-with conception. Also, it´s for free - I´m not poor, but I´m NOT gonna pay a single dime for content that (as some of you informed me) made many people to create their own accounts to like and comment stuff I made or reblogged. That´s all fine, almost ideal.

But of course some batshit crazy SJW communists had to destroy it all. I guess it´s embedded in their parasitic nature. Well, enjoy the great fall, morons! 

As you probably know, tumblr as we now it comes to an end. As of Dec. 17 nsfw content will no longer be allowed. Since the search for nsfw content already is disabled and a lot of artists left or were nuked there is little point in putting much more energy in tumblr.

NUDITY IS NOT THE ONLY THINGY WHICH MAKES ME THE ANGIE THAT I AM…

…just as I am more than just my vampire status yo  *nods

Come here after the 17th and you will still find me here!!!  I will still be the willful…in the best sense of the word…little snip I have always been, and I will still talk to anyone about anything they wish. I will still be regulating and teaching manners to boys who have none and I will still be not…umm…kissing girls  *giggles  Sorry, I like boys yo :)

Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.

I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you it’s mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (It’s not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. It’s not Pillowfort, that’s in closed beta. It’s not Ello, that’s mainly for artists. It’s not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. It’s not jux, that seems to be closed. It’s not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)

One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.

More info over the days to come.

The plan is, broadly:

1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there

2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.

3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.

4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.

Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.

There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.

The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.

If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.

Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.

(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)

If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.

If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.

(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)

If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If it’s reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.
