The Post Plus Protest is coming! Updated Edition
Fill out the survey on the original Post Plus post (be polite, donāt spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS that we donāt want this). Since we mean business, itās time to hit them where it hurts; Ad Revenue.
Weāre proposing a 24 hour log off as the main event of phase one.
The protest starts by logging off on August 6th, 2021 at 12am Eastern Time (US). Hereās a quick chart to help figure out when you log out.
AUGUST 6th, 2021
Ā 12 am Eastern Time (US)
Ā Ā 4 am UTC
Ā Ā 5 am BST/London
Ā Ā 6 am Central Europe Time
Ā Ā 7 am Moscow Standard Time
Ā Ā 9:30 am Indian Standard Time
Ā Ā 12 Noon Hong Kong Time/Australian Western Time
Ā Ā 1 pm Japan Standard Time
Ā Ā 1:30 pm Australian Central Time
Ā Ā 2 pm Australian Eastern Time
Ā 11 pm Central Time (US)
Ā 10 pm Mountain Time (US)
Ā Ā 9 pm Pacific Time (US)
THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM THE START TIME!
So that means if you log off at say, 6 am Central Europe Time youāll log back in at 6 am Central Europe Time on August 7th. Weād prefer if if there is no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs during this period.
WHAT IF I CANāT/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
Like this post, share it, and use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 and/or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media. If youāre using the mobile version, you can always leave an honest review on the app center of your choice (once again: be polite, donāt spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS!).
WHY IS POST PLUS/POST+ SO BAD?
Tumblrās primary focus is on FAN content (whether any of us want to admit it or not). Putting these kinds of contents behind patreon like paywalls is a terrible idea and the legality is NOT in the user or their subscribers favor. You can absolutely get in legal trouble for what tumblr is proposing with this new feature. Thereās also the worry about the siteās (poor) security and access to Post Plus users bank information. Do you really want a site that lacks a functioning search function and whose userbase routinely get hacked to have your credit card information? No, you really donāt.
Maybe, maybe not. Itās an attempt at doing something to combat tumblrās impending self-inflicted demise.
Thereās a time zone checker linked in a previous post if you need it and Iāll try to fix any mistakes to times as I find them. Keep an eye out for future posts closer to the protest date and the eventual phase two! Thank you ALL for your support so far.
