Watch my account get nuked for this

So recently I reblogged this post about documenting discriminatorily banned accounts for the inevitable human rights lawsuit, and that is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, but I also thought of something else that documentation could be used for.

Not QUITE what they intended this function for I’m sure, but the ‘report harassment’ option is (I’m sure) intentionally designed in such a way that only the person being harassed can functionally report the harassment, and the little message when you say the user is harassing someone else amounts to ‘*shrug* sorry, doesn’t count if the victim doesn’t report it themselves’ which obviously doesn’t work when the form that harassment takes is that the actual victims are banned from the site. Harassment under Tumblr’s terms of service is defined as

Which present behavior by @staff definitely counts as. ‘Targeted abuse’ is the dictionary-perfect term for ‘systematically banning trans people, especially trans women, from the site for having the AUDACITY (/s) to be trans publically’

Considering there’s no ability to use that appeal process on a banned blog, such reports will be best aimed at staff- and mod-affiliated blogs, aka the people doing the harassment (again, as defined by this hellsite (derogatory)’s actual terms of service).

What are they going to do, ban all of us? The only thing Tumblr staff gives a flying fuck about is money, it’s not like they can purge half their userbase without financial consequences.

Let’s give em hell.

For those who don't understand why I'm so pissed off it's because back in 2018 during the porn ban Tumblr for whatever reason deleted this blog and after that I had to make a new blog called deluxesoap. Some months after that Tumblr appealed to my report about mistakenly deleting this blog and brought it back and so I ended up alternating between the two of them whenever I hit post limit. When I had both blogs I created a side blog to post my art on and had joined both as members on it. Then a fucking year ago Tumblr nuked deluxesoap all because I posted doll leaks for the little mermaid and now they fucking nuked every post on my art blog that came from that blog

so in SHORT FUCK TUMBLR AND FUCK STAFF WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF REBLOGGING SHIT IF YOU MOUSY CUNTS ARE GONNA DELETE IT ALL YOU WASTES OF FUCKING SPACE

[codecicle]

dont wanna seem Weird asking cause im not mutuals w lukas fizzfags (i AM mutuals w like 95% of his and thats why im curious) so i wanted to ask if u knew what happened to his blog/if hes planning on making another oine?

his blog got nuked by staff for content that violated guidelines, specifically harassment, and they've denied it's appeal to get it back. he said he'll return whenever suckening season 2 releases (ALLEGEDLY)

[zeroducklings]

Hi folks - some of you might have seen this art before tumblr nuked it as it was considered in violation of the guidelines or some bs like that. If you've seen it you might recall that the post was not displaying penetration, and every suggestive bit was adequately censored with a watermark.

I appealed the post explaining the issue, and I was told by the kind staff that the post was indeed in violation of the guidelines DESPITE NOTHING WAS SHOWING. It would seem that for whatever reason tumblr is trying to kill this blog, so to avoid further complications I'm going to start using the other one as I'm under the impression that this will keep happening.

If you're interested you can follow me @sidechicknoduckshere.

As for this art, HERE is the uncensored version. See ya on the other blog.

[marcussour]

Hi

So, for the like 3 of you that maybe have wondered where have I been the last weeks, well, basically playing FF7 Rebirth and chilling on cohost.

Thing is, after the whole tumblr selling our data to train ai models fiasco, I was kinda in shock and decided to leave this place. I uninstalled the app from my phone, did backups of my blogs (which I wasn't gonna delete, just stop uploading), went to cohost and started posting there (it's super chill btw, it's like early tumblr mixed with old twitter, in case you're wondering). All while processing what to do next, because frankly, we've all felt that tumblr is somewhat on decline and seeing all the bad stuff it's CEO has done as of late -including threats of nuking the site this year-, the last few years always felt like there was an invisible countdown on this website all the time.

But still, I'm not gonna pretend I'm not gonna miss it, if not tumblr per se, certainly some of the people I've met here who are my mutuals of many years, many of which I've become friends with. Also, despite everything, I still think this is a good platform for posting art. Cohost has its good things (like being WAY more relaxed about NSFW stuff), but there are more file size restrictions, photosets are limited to fewer pictures, etc. There might be some ways to improve that besides what the staff there is doing, since cohost lets you edit posts in many more ways than tumblr (read somewhere that it was tumblr, but for hornier and more linux savy people), so there's also that.

Anyway, after processing everything that happened, and understanding that one way or another, my art's probably gonna be scraped from the internet nevertheless, even if tumblr offers an opt out option (that doesn't even consider the people that tumblr decides to sell our stuff to, let alone the fact that it also arrived so late that we probably everything was already scraped to begin with) even if I glaze it or whatever, I kinda made peace with what happened. I'm still weary about uploading, or where to do it. Yes, I know that I don't have huge numbers or a distinctive enough style for people to copy, but I also know that, nevertheless, not only my art, but the things I've written, the photos I've taken, etc., all has been fed into that slot machine of generating content. If anything, with the days I've noticed I'm way more angry at techbros as usual, and especially tumblr ceo and part of it's staff -I know that not everyone agrees with him and that there are good people in the staff, but there's also sycophants, professional "yes man"s and the like-.

So, after all that, I thought, well, might as well go back. But the thing is that, after spending a couple of weeks away (and missing the posts I imagine came up here both about the Cerveza Cristal meme and about Toriyama's death, among other things), coming back here has been weird, like, for better or worse, it has lost its appeal. I've read a couple of posts before writing this one and I was like "has it always been like this here?".

So, what now? I have no clue. I don't think I'm gonna download the mobile app again, if anything, I've noticed how much time it consumed to just check tumblr with the frequency I used to, so I don't feel like doing that anymore. I think I might pop up here from time to time, maybe return to live blogging Critical Role and Candela Obscura. Will probably like more stuff than the one I post and reblog. Still deciding if I should post new art stuff here, we'll see.

Anyway, if any of you have cohost, you can find me there

This!

And yeah, this is still a big structural problem with Tumblr moderation, but it has a different solution than "kick bigots out of the moderation team." It's that the appeals process needs a more robust way to report targeted harassment as a factor in why someone was reported in the first place.

It's the same reason Black people are more likely to get prosecuted for drug possession: Black people smoke weed at the same rate as white people, but white people aren't reported frequently and Black people are due to racism (by privateer citizens and police). So even if you fixed prosecution to only prosecute people who clearly broke the law and didn't have cops frame them, the enforcement of drug laws would still be biased because who gets reported is biased. (Which is one reason prohibition laws need to be repealed and post convictions nullified.)

It's also why "trans people aren't breaking the rules and being banned anyway" is a bad argument. Quite frequently there was a TOS violation. It's just that most of us are constantly flouting the TOS and it's completely ignored. Meanwhile transphobes ensure that trans people, and especially trans woman, are constantly living under a panopticon where the slightest infraction gets reported, and are constantly baited into violating the TOS through abuse.

Exactly the same pattern as childhood bullies using constant verbal abuse to bait their target into hitting them to make it stop and then running to the teacher about it to complain that actually they were the one being targeted and assaulted. Most schools rules say teachers have to punish hitting other kids, but don't give a shit about ongoing campaigns of psychological torture (a trauma that a lot of trans children also loved to and are predisposed to react too as adults). I'm betting a lot of these dedicated transphobes were also abusers in childhood and faced few consequences or were even rewarded for it.

All these factors are also why Palestinian blogs are getting nuked. Staff aren't searching the tags for Palestinians to ban, anti-Palestinian bigots are. Both looking for the smallest infraction and baiting Palestinians into those violations by using their justifiable anger and trauma.

The fact that transphobes water not being banned for hate speech when it's reported is absolutely a case of moderation rules enforcer bias and them being given continual free passes to be hateful is absolutely enabling them and allowing them to mass report.

Moderation tools that rely on reporting and are especially sensitive to mass reporting are incredibly vulnerable to coordinated reporting attacks. But moderation teams are taught they can't pick and choose who to enforce the rules against. Either there was a violation or there wasn't and what series of events led to the violation are not important. Theoretically this prevents bias and favoritism at the enforcement level, but it doesn't protect against reporting level bias.

(This is why the ACLU's philosophy is that they'll still defend hateful people against first amendment violations because even if those people are garbage, far more and better people are hurt by the legal system picking and choosing unequally. Opinions differ on whether that is an effective strategy to create a better society.)

No social media platform has solved this problem. I think Blue Sky probably has the best protections between the extremely thorough way blocks work and subscribing to user-created moderation lists on top of site moderation. Mostly it just keeps people separated so it's harder for transphobes to interact with trans people at all. It's not foolproof either, but it has led to a much more thriving and safe trans community where most threads aren't full of hateful replies. But that was designed into the structure of the site nearly from the beginning by people that got burned by multiple older platforms. Tumblr's structure would make it extremely hard to implement something similar.

Obviously things need to change this is a completely unacceptable moderation situation leading to the persecution and silencing of a vulnerable minority. But understanding where is actually going wrong will help us identify and advocate for specific policy changes that would improve it. Simply railing at Staff for being uniquely bigoted does nothing to address structural drivers of bias that are outside their hands.

The number 1 change I recommend is considering targeted mass reporting to be a policy violation. It wouldn't solve everything, but it would improve things and there's precedent for it in other site moderation policies (like AO3). If we can bend our energy towards that one change, we can then identify other specific policy changes.

it's so strange to see the response whenever someone gets banned that this is like. Intentional targeted banning from Tumblr. It's not! It's almost always someone getting brigaded until the autoban gets triggered, which is bad but it's a different category of problem and much, much harder to solve.

If what you get from this is "Tumblr bans trans women" and not "transphobes in particular have organised methods for report brigading accounts until they get banned" you will misunderstand the problem and why it persists. It's not a secret that the people getting banned are usually highly visible and/or get into fights a lot!

[xzienne]

I want to propose a new button for Tumblr; "Recommend for Nuking". It's under "Report for Spam" and when you click it, the blog gets added to a list for a moderator (who has the corresponding "Nuke" button) to go through and scrub the porn bots entirely.

Is it a lot of thankless, tedious work for some poor Staff member? Absolutely. Will people recommend non-bot, legitimate blogs for Nuking? That's part of the appeal tbh. Would there be a third thing wrong that lets me fill out the rule of threes? If so, I'd love to hear it.

Recommend for Nuking; let's make Tumblr worse.

[batdorable]

whats happening to wereralph right now reminds me of the time my friends and i who run extremelycursedimages got our blogs nuked from space without a chance of appeal because of something someone had submitted to us and we didnt get them back for 7 months, i know that was under different management but like seriously if this problem persists that long (from 2018 to about now) @staff has a problem they need to ameliorate

[skiddlecat]

A while ago, I sent a problem concerning TV Tropes to a Tumblr user called bootsforthebootgod, and they used their TV Tropes account, Boots, to send the problem to Ask the Tropers.  Unfortunately, the conversation was nuked before I could read it, so I have no idea what was said.

Boots believes that the problem is resolved, but it's not! I'm still unable to participate in forums (that also includes the Edit Banned/Suspended thread), edit or create pages, read, send, or get messages, write reviews, upload videos, or use the Wishlist, Ask the Tropers, Trope Finder, You Know that Show, the Trope Launch Pad, the Cut List, or Submit a Bug.  Worse yet, I can't even change the email address I'm using on my account, so I can't create another account.  Because I never had a chance to read the conversation, I have no idea why nothing was done, or if anyone even tried to do anything.  I'd delete my account if I could, but that will only make my account permanently inaccessible, so I'll still not be able to use my email address for another account.  The Contact Us function is useless to me as well because the only people who can respond to email messages are the mods and the staff, and they will not respond to my messages.  None of this would be a problem if I had access to another email address, but I don't.

Want to know the worst part?  I've had people tell all this to Boots, but Boots keeps insisting the problem is resolved.  I don't know what they mean (or think they mean) when they say that, but their definition of "resolved" is clearly not the same as mine.  I'm starting to suspect that they didn't even actually read the message; they probably read only "the problem has not been resolved" and automatically assumed I haven't actually tried using my account.  Worse yet, Boots seems to think I want them to appeal a ban, but I don't; all I want is to know how the conversation went so I can find out what went wrong and what to do.  By not telling me how the conversation went, they are only worsening my problem!  Could you contact Boots on their TV Tropes account or on their Tumblr account, bootsforthebootgod?  If you have to, ping them on Tumblr and tell them to actually read this whole message, or better yet, go to their inbox (I could submit the link to you so you can go straight from there) and send them this message (preferably on mobile).  You can even DM them.  Have them know that this message is urgent and that they should leave not a single word of it unread.  I want them to properly understand my problem and help me to solve it.  Could you tell them to send you screenshots of the conversation (every single post), and then, could you post it on your blog so I can read it and know what to do?  (If I have to, I'll even send you a link to the conversation.  That way, you could send it to Boots so they'll know what you're talking about.)

...buddy by "i have a tv tropes account" i meant i created one to edit exactly two pages of tv tropes to add oneshot to them. i have autism, and it is exactly 7:58 in the morning at the time of writing this, i don't have the attention span to read all of this nor do i think i'm the person you should go to for this

[ID1: A screenshot of Tumblr's support request page. The category for support is Feedback and the description reads:

"Hey, remember how you settled a discrimination bias lawsuit only last year due to the severely sloppy porn ban moderation predominately targeting the LGBT community?

Well, with that in mind, and the fact that you're already struggling to turn a profit with this site, I highly recommend taking a look at whoever on the moderation team is actively going out of there way to falsely flag as many posts talking about trans people as "mature content" despite not having any mature content.

Do you really want to risk another lawsuit defending a staff member's immature vendetta?"

ID2: A collection of screenshots.

The first is the Tumblr search results for 'crossdressing'. There is a pop-up reading "Hold your horses! These search results are likely to contain content which does not comply with Tumblr's Community Guidelines. To help keep everyone safe we're not displaying any content here." There's a button reading "Learn more".

The second is the Tumblr search results for 'tgirl' which has the same "Hold your horses" pop-up.

The third is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/foone posts "Me: I'm trans Tumblr:"

@/catgirl-kaiju reblogs with "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label."

@/notaspy11 reblogs with a screenshot of the post, showing that it has a Mature Community Label, and stating "Literally beyond parody".

The fourth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/transmortifried (deactivated) posts "ayyy guess who got her navel pierced today", with two attached images of herself. The first is her showing a peace sign to the camera, and the second is a picture of her stomach, showing the navel piercing.

@/transmortifried reblogs with a screenshot of an email from Tumblr. It reads:

"Hello transmortifried,

We've reviewed your classification appeal and after careful review, we have determined that your post is considered adult under our Community Guidelines.

Don't worry, this post hasn't been deleted, it is just hidden from public view.

For more information about what is considered adult content, please see our FAQ support post or our Help Center.

Thank you, Tumblr Trust & Safety"

She states "yeah okay it's a pattern"

@/zenonym (deactivated) reblogs with "and now they killed my blog! you fuckers!"

It is worth nothing that neither blogs have the typical "deactivated-date" appended to them, indicating they were most likely deleted by Tumblr rather than deactivated.

The fifth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/zenonym posts "staff fucking nuked me right when i complained about my selfie being flagged as mature content

too convenient for coincidence"

@/zenonym reblogs with "i had that fucking account for over ten years".

The sixth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/predstrogen posts a screenshot of her Tumblr notifications for Thursday, July 20th and Friday, July 21st. They're fully taken up by notifications that read "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", for 15 flags total.

The seventh is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/demilypyro posts a screenshot of a comment by @/telltaletypist reading "if there's one thing i know about being a trans woman it's that absolutely nobody gets weird or judgy at us for expressing sexual desire".

She comments "This is true I think, everyone just has very normal and even-minded thoughts and opinions about transfeminine sexuality".

@/demilypyro reblogs with a screenshot of Tumblr's 'Request community label review' pop-up. It reads:

"We have determined that your post contains content that would be better suited with a Community Label. While it does not violate our Community Guidelines, a Community Label has been added to your post so that it is only presented to those who wish to view that material.

If you think this was done in error, you can Request Review. Please include a short explanation with your request:"

There is a text box below, with text simply reading "come on".

@/zoethiahs-little-pillow-fort reblogs with "No honestly I think it's REALLY important that people see this. Literally the exact same post, sans trans people, and it didn't get flagged."

They attach a screenshot of a post by @/sounddesignerjeans, which is identical to this post (containing a comment from telltaletypist about how 'nobody gets weird or judgy at a man for expressing sexual desire' and a response from @/sounddesignerjeans identical to @/demilypyro's comment.

@/sounddesignerjeans reblogs with "By the way, this post has been reported as missing a community label by several people and still isn't marked mature. So it's not even that the original post got reported and this one didn't.

Tumblr's official stance is that trans women are considered explicit content."

@/gaycatastrophe reblogs with "@/staff @/support

hey remember how tumblr just had to settle with NYC's human rights commission for discriminating against LGBTQ people in your implementation of the NSFW ban? We do.

They attach an article titled "Tumblr is setting with NYC's human rights agency over alleged porn ban bias".

Whilst the dates are not visible, demilypyro's reblog containing the Request Review form was 19 minutes after the inital post about transfeminine sexuality was made, and sounddesignerjeans' reblog commenting that their post about male sexuality was not flagged despite multiple reports was made 19 hours after the inital post.

The eighth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post by @/predstrogen.

She posts two pictures of herself; the first presumably pre-estrogen and possibly pre-transition, and the second presumably whilst on estrogen and transitioning. She is noticeably more feminine in the second picture.

She captions the pictures "not even a full year apart… we stay silly :3 [cat emoji]".

@/predstrogen reblogs the post, with a screenshot of a notification reading "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", and another screenshot showing her flagged posts. It shows that this post is flagged as requiring a Community Label. She comments "literally fuck off lol"

@/predstrogen reblogs the post, with a screenshot of a notification reading "We re-reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", and another screenshot showing that this post still has a Community Label.

She comments "tumblr has doubled down and after almost a week re-reviewed MY FUCKING TRANSITION and decided it still needed a community label for sexual themes

fuck this website and fuck every person working there you pricks".

The ninth is a screenshot of a post by @/predstrogen. She says "OH COME ON THEY FLAGGED MY FUCKING PINNED POST? IT'S JUST MY BIO"

@/predstrogen reblogs with a screenshot of her pinned post, which has a pop-up on it reading "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label".

The pinned post reads: "Pinned: Hiya!!

It's Avery, or Moira. 21 years old. Bigender Trans gal, and a Poly Bi Lesbian. I use She/Him, she is preferred. I'm from Ireland and Disabled" (the post is cut off)."

She comments "GET A FUCKING GRIP ALREADY".

The tenth is a screenshot of @/i-aint-even-bovvered's Tumblr account. Their account's title is "Actually Jaskier". Their account's description is "Queer/Enby (they/them) Jew/ "Nearing 30" - my roommate".

A post is visible, reading "welp, my blog has been flagged as mature content for some reason". /end ID]

thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity. spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.

I thought you were gonna ask me like... something about that one OFMD episode I was talking about

Cuz

wow

Look, kid, my advice to you is to Let This Go.

I don't know the user you're talking about, I've never even interacted with them (that I know/remember about)... Also that user is a minor so IDK what kind of pull you think they have???

Also I don't even have a TV Tropes account. I just like analyzing my gay pirate show once in a blue moon.

I understand you're frustrated. But maybe find a different hobby to destress with for right now.

PS: Upon further inspection, I think your problem could be resolved by simply creating another email address? Do kids not do this anymore? I had like 4 by the time I was 17 for no other reason than I came up with a new cool name...

[beardedmrbean]

How many blogs has been nuked? People be saying tungle hot it's trash moved to twatter, and yet I've seen mugi gone... I don't know whose next?

Bunch of blogs nuked, no real anything to say why for some others I expect to see getting hit.

Can't even think why Mugi got hit, there's far more explicit tiddy blogs and most of their hot takes weren't anything that would run afoul of the tumblr police.

I'm thinking there might just be a group that's mass reporting blogs on the regular and staff is too bogged down to actually go through the appeals on them.

Still no matter what way you cut it we're better than twitter, even with the random bans..

[vintage-tech]

Three years ago I had the precursor to this blog, heck-yeah-old-tech, before Tumblr shut it down without warning and without a working appeals system. (Same happened to Shifty Thrifting. Musta been a thing with them: destroy the most popular blogs, that’s a great business model.) I had like 53k followers and I joked at the time that all but two dozen of the accounts were bots.

Now I am gaining about two hundred followers a day -- primarily with names like “squishystiffhorsesausage” so you know they’re bots -- with the occasional real human and a few corporate shills. I can’t crow about how many followers I have if 4/5 of them are imaginary (unlike some people with their likewise-inflated Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter follower numbers), especially if Tumblr ever drops a nuke and removes skads of fake accounts, like has happened a time or two before. [Please, Staff, make that happen. Get something right.]

So here I am at 34,945 followers (six new in the time it took me to put together this post) and all but 24 are fake.

[jtem]

I’ve held back a lot of criticism but, can you think of any website that deserved to tank more than Tumblr has?

I mean, they turned a social media site into an anti-social site. 

They grew to billions of dollars in value by positioning themselves as the opposite of Facebook. Where Facebook is all about controlling others, deciding what they can and cannot see, Tumblr gave you a website, an actual URL, an address on the World Wide Web. You didn’t control others, you controlled yourself! Even blocking people didn’t stop them from reading your posts or responding, it blocked you from seeing them!

“Eew! Eew!  They looked at what I posted on the World Wide Web! That was personal, what I posted on the World Wide Web, so everyone needs to report them for abuse!”

I’m not kidding. I’ve seen countless pleas from morons asking others to complain about someone who reblogged a post because... because... well, who really cares? The answer of course is the Tumblr staff, who sabatoged their own success & once bright futures by catering to this mindless bedwetters, rededicating the entire site to them.

At this point, these morons are “Protecting” the inane comments shitposters add below a reblog, because lord knows the world will end if they do not..

And what was that whole thing about the porn?  They encouraged it. For years.Then they nuked it all, went wild flagging & blocking even the lamest posts on SFW blogs! There were a few posts of mine that even I wasn’t allowed to see! That’s right, they blocked me from seeing a few of my posts AND THEN asked if I wanted to appeal their decision!

Wtf?

Cut the shit, people!

You threw away something like 99.9% of your value. For real. A  thousand times a million is a billion, you went from a peak of like $2 billion down to $2 million, which outside of a mental institution would tell anyone that they’re doing things wrong.

STOP!

Quite the censorship. There are totalitarian states which haven’t practiced censorship with the vigor of Tumblr. I mean, I’ve lost track of how many reblogs or comments for which I never appear in the notes because... why? Who knows. Because your business still has a tiny fraction of it’s once impressive value left, and you want to see how long it’ll take you to close it down entirely?

You had a model that worked. You no longer have a model that works. STOP what you’re doing. You only have, what is it? Some 200 employees? How difficult could it be to round up the dickwads & fascists and fire them?

What are you waiting for?
