Gonna put myself out here for a hot minute to remind everyone that the runner of a poll or little event on tumblr is not responsible for the replies/posts of everyone else in the fandom, nor do they have the power to stop people from reacting in any which way in the notes of their post without turning off reblogs and shutting down the entire thing full stop. I think we can all agree on that? They are not a discord mod, or the fandom's babysitter. Tumblr is the Wild West and by god none of us are the sheriff.

That's all ok keep on keeping everyone

Fellow non americans; hi. The usa is one of the biggest powers in the worlds and it's about to be led by 5 racist rabid heinous honey badgers in an orange plastic trash bag with nazi tendencies, a communal missing braincell instead of a hive mind, and a bad toupet. So you can understand why americans are scared, because that description doesn't even begin to describe the orange trashbag filled creature that was elected by morons. The honey badgers (no offense to actual honey badgers) are terribly dumb and hateful as well, they have terrible plans for every single minority and not only will it affect america but it will affect the entire world.

But let's not speak of the future, let's speak of the now. Tumblr is utter chaos, but it's also a community of racoons warming our little racoon hands on the dumpster fire that is this app. And as racoons in this community of racoons we must bring support to the struggling racoons, to the scared ones and the ones who lost their hope. We're batshit crazy but we're communities! Reblog advice posts about healthcare, show some fucking respect, if you have ways to help; financially, emotionally, if you have the psychological strength to put yourself out there and support people then do it!

Things are about to get scary, and as dark as the world is it might become slightly darker, that doesn't mean light won't exist anymore, that doesn't mean you won't make it, and it doesn't mean we'll never have light again. The future is scary, present is shit, so let's look at how much history repeats itself and keep going, keep pushing ever further beyond because that's who we are as racoons around a dumpster fire.

Also let's hope, without context, "third time's the charm" (before 2025)

[knownoshamc]

Does anyone in this lovely tag...rp?

[tangentburd]

what ad blocker do you have on your phone?

For context: The recent updates to Tumblr web and app introduced Tumblr Live — basically a live streaming feature that nobody wants to see.

Thing is, I didn't even know that Tumblr Live was a thing in the app until I checked out Tumblr's changelog today, because it seems like my phone has been blocking the Live feature from my view since it launched earlier in Feb this year. So I did a couple of experiments.

Note: My phone is Android 12 with 1.1.1.1 / Blokada 5 configured, and I'm not based in the US. So YMMV of course.

Fresh reinstall with all adblockers/VPNs deactivated (Tumblr Live section, tags and menu icon visible)

Restarted with 1.1.1.1 active (Tumblr Live tags and menu icon are now gone)

Restarted with Blokada 5 active (everything related to Tumblr Live gone). This is how my dash has looked like for the past many months.

I'm not the most well versed in these things, but I hope it helps some of you because device-based adblockers are a lifesaver imo. Now I just need something that'll block that stupid Pikachu Man ad from my dash, dammit.

like for a discord exchange ( 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝗉𝗅𝗈𝗍𝗍𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗉𝗎𝗋𝗉𝗈𝗌𝖾𝗌* )? 🥺🤲

[aronarchy]

some of you have ridiculously high bullshit tolerances

[kuromi-hoemie]

This still doesn't say why exactly her account and all of her other accounts got banned, or why exactly Matt banned all the trans women who called him out lmfao. This is an okay first step but uhh (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠) I'm not really convinced this is being handled as seriously as it should be, this is just damage control.

Did y'all actually willingly write this message or are you being made to write this message in a tokenizing way? Like no this website isn't transmisogynistic haha see we have trans people right here who are suddenly looking into something people have been screaming about for months and months, that we have been told over and over again is So Complicated and takes So Much Work to fix. Does it? To be something that can be done in a week afterall?

The site's not really going to fix its reputation at all if you can't directly speak to what the fuck your deal is as a platform and why the fuck you're banning so many accounts that are weighing in on Matt being an idiot. Also maybe just a ”we fucked up badly and will unban all the accounts that got nuked from Matt's tantrum the past couple days” is a better first step but do the rest too lol.

A message from a few of the trans staff at Tumblr & Automattic:

We want trans people, and LGBTQ+ people broadly, to feel welcome on Tumblr, in part because we as trans people at Tumblr and Automattic want it to be a space where we ourselves feel included. We want to feel like this is a platform that supports us and fights for our safety. Tumblr is made brighter and more vibrant by your presence, and the LGBTQ+ folks who help run it are fighting all the time for this, for you, internally. 

A few days ago, Matt Mullenweg (the CEO of Automattic, Tumblr’s parent company) responded to a user’s ask about an account suspension in a way that negatively affected Tumblr’s LGBTQ+ community. We believe that Matt's response to this ask and his continued commentary has been unwarranted and harmful. Tumblr staff do not comment on moderation decisions as a matter of policy for a variety of reasons—including the privacy of those involved, and the practicalities of moderating thousands of reports a day. The downside of this policy is that it is very easy for rumors and incorrect information about actions taken by our Trust & Safety team to spread unchecked. Given this, we want to clarify a few different pieces of this situation:

The reality of predstrogen's suspension was not accurately conveyed, and made it seem like we were reaching for opportunities to ban trans feminine people on the platform. This is not the case. The example comment shared in the post linked above does not meet our definition of a realistic threat of violence, and was not the deciding factor in the account suspension.

Matt thereafter failed to recognize the harm to the community as a result of this suspension. Matt does not speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ people who help run Tumblr or Automattic, and we were not consulted in the construction of a response to these events.

Last year, the "mature" and "sexual themes" community labels were erroneously applied to some users' posts. An outside team of contractors tasked with applying community labels to posts were responsible for this larger trend of mislabeling trans-related content. When our Trust & Safety team discovered this issue (thanks largely to reports from the community), we removed the contracted team’s ability to apply community labels and added more oversight to ensure it does not happen again. In the Staff post about this, LGBTQ+ staff pushed to be more transparent but were overruled by leadership. The termination of a contractor mentioned in the original ask response was for an unrelated incident which was incorrectly attributed to this case. We regret that the mislabeling ever happened, and the negative impact it has had on the trans community on Tumblr. 

Transition timelines are not against our community guidelines, and weren’t a factor considered by the moderation team when discussing suspensions and subsequent appeals. We do not take action against content that is related to transitioning or trans bodies unless it includes violations of the Community Guidelines.

When it comes to the experience of trans folks on Tumblr encountering transphobic content, and interacting with bigoted users, we understand and share your frustrations. Tumblr’s policies, and Automattic’s policies, are written to ensure freedom of speech and expression. We prohibit harassment as defined in our Community Guidelines, but we know that this policy falls short of protecting users from the wider scope of harmful speech often used against LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people.

Going forward, Tumblr is taking the following actions:

Prioritizing anti-harassment features that will empower users to more effectively protect themselves from harassment.

Building more internal tooling for us as Staff to proactively identify and mitigate instances of harassment.

Reviewing which of the tags frequently used by the trans community are blocked, and working to make them available next week.

We’re sorry for how this all transpired, and we’re actively fighting to make our voices heard more and prevent something like this from happening again in the future. We know firsthand that having to deal with situations like this as a Tumblr user is difficult, particularly as a member of an already frequently targeted and harassed community. We know it will take time to regain your trust, and we’re going to put in the work to rebuild it.

We appreciate the space we have been given to express our concerns and dissent, and we are thankful that Matt’s (and Automattic’s) strong commitment to freedom of expression has facilitated it.

We will continue to fight to make Tumblr safe for us all.
