Y'all do realize you can express your dislike of the new dashboard, Tumblr Live, and whatever else you hate about this site WITHOUT resorting to death and suicide threats? Right?

Would you threaten to slit your own throat in Starbucks because the barista put too much cream in your coffee?

Would you tell a mechanic who tried to upsell you that you would strangle them?

Or do you recognize that making violent threats at service workers is bad, in which case, why do you think it's okay to do to service workers online?

I honestly don't know what's going on with y'all: either you think that making graphic, violent threats at strangers is perfectly acceptable behavior, or you're legitimately so distressed about change that it makes you violent/suicidal.

I'm really hoping it's the former and that y'all just need to relearn your dang manners.

Stop making violent and suicidal threats at people.

#Like the people running the staff and wip blogs #And everyone else who has to read your violent fantasies #Are NOT the owners of the site #They're underpaid and overworked service sector employees #The fact that some of y'all will reblog “ChatGPT makes Global South workers read/watch snuff and suicide videos and this is bad”#And then on the same day cheerfully reblog “staff I'm going to stab you”#Is. Interesting to say the least #Please learn to handle discomfort and distress in a way that doesn't involve harassing people at their jobs
