Lately I have these mood swings. Where I feel okay for a moment, like I can do this and I can keep going, I can keep fighting. 

But soon after… Depression hits me again and I get extremely sad and I don’t see the point in being alive anymore.

Si se van a ir de la vida de alguien por favor haganle saber por qué se van. No hay nada más feo que te dejen de hablar de la nada, y quedes sin saber por qué.

This is going to be my last post before I log off for the December 17th protest.

In case you aren’t aware of what I’m talking about (even though I’ve reblogged about it a lot), basically a large amount of users are going to be participating in a protest against Tumblr’s new policies on the 17th by logging off the site, and not logging back on for a full 24 hours. As you can see in the image above, the protest will be taking place 12 am EST, but here’s the full list in regards to the exact times the protest is taking place in case you need it:

Here’s what you can do to participate in the protest:

DO:

- Close all open instances you have of tumblr (closing all open tabs of tumblr on your browser and closing any instances you have of the app on your phone)

- Pause your queue or set it for a different time so nothing goes up on your blog during the protest.

- While you can (there’s only roughly 5 hours left- maybe less by the time you read this) make your followers aware of the protest and encourage them to participate, too. The more people we have participating the bigger the impact it will have.

- Be vocal and present on other social medias if you have them, and express how you’re participating in the Log Off protest/how you’re angry with Tumblr’s policies and actions on said social medias. This way it won’t just look like a drop off from social media, it’ll make it very clear to staff that we’re protesting because we’re angry with their new policy and their actions.

DON’T:

- Open the tumblr app or open tumblr on your desktop during the protest.

- Continue to reblog/post during the protest, or have posts go up from your queue during the protest.

- Delete your account/blog. This won’t accomplish anything besides making it hard to come back after the protest is over.

And because a lot of people have been curious about it: NO, STAFF AND THE PEOPLE WHO RUN TUMBLR AREN’T JUST GOING TO DELETE TUMBLR BECAUSE WE CHOSE TO LOG OFF FOR A DAY. Their main interest is money, and making a profit off the website. If they deleted the website, all possible profit they could have continued to make from it would be gone, and they’d lose millions, possibly billions of dollars. They wouldn’t do that. Trust me, they wouldn’t.

I’d also just like to add that, in case you couldn’t already infer, I will not be responding to any messages, answering any asks, reblogging, or posting on the 17th while the protest is underway.

Before I go, I’d just like to say in case I don’t end up coming back on Tumblr (if they refuse to revoke their policies I WILL be moving somewhere else. I’ll let you all know where in case I do):

Gentlemen, it’s been an honor being trash with you.

See y’all on Tuesday.

THERE is a PETITION

https://www.change.org/p/tumblr-com-allow-nsfw-content-on-tumblr

guys, there’s a petition, if you haven’t signed it, please sign it!! i’m not certain of how helpful it’ll be (as tumblr staff are apparently unwavering despite all this backlash), but it’s close to the needed amount of signatures!! spread this like wildfire, and sign it you haven’t!! please reblog so it gets out there!

this ban hurts so many people, artists, people discovering themselves. it this has damaged so many artists, and it doesn’t address the actual issue. @staff what do you genuinely think this will acomplish? your algorithm is broke, fix it. otherwise, hope you enjoy a dramatic decrease on people here.

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

i can’t believe tumblr killed its ownself

how do they go from “we need to fix the problem of porn bots posting child porn on our site” to “we’re just gonna fuckin nuke every type of porn. don’t you dare post even one sinful female presenting nipple on our clean pure website!!!”. talk about going from 0 to 1000, jfc tumblr. something i’ve observed from my many years online is that if you start a site on a foundation of anti censorship and then years later become pro censorship, users will leave your site in droves. as soon as a new blogging site catches on, this site will be a ghost town. especially since tumblr was already starting to die before this incredibly stupid decision. almost every time i’ve seen artists who post on both tumblr and instagram, their same posts have 3-4 times more notes on instagram. tumblr has been my digital home for the past nearly 6 years, and of course it’s always had issues but it’s still better than the current popular social media sites imo. the appeal has always been that you can post whatever you want and that there’s so many different types of content too, not just art, not just writing, not just photos.. tumblr has everything! and all of that content is so easily sharable thru reblogging, especially w regards to fandom, and it makes this site feel like much more of a community than the others do. idk where i’ll go in the long run as this site becomes less and less populated. i’m hoping a new site that’s like tumblr but w ao3′s content rules/dedication to anti censorship will appear not too long from now, but it’s probably gonna be quite some time before that happens so i’ll see you all on instagram in 2019 i guess

Tumblr antes y después de prohibir todo el contenido adulto.

¿Qué opinan de la decisión de los dueños de la red social?
