Photomatt shaking, blankets over his head, all doors locked because a user on tumblr.com said they wanted to drop an anvil or perhaps a grand piano on him

i really hope that photomatt's meltdown fucking follows him. i hope that he's forever associated with this, and that any time someone hears his name, they think of the fucked up shit he pulled. i hope it ends up being synonymous with a childish fucking tantrum.

@pir8core i didn't personally blaze it, and i'm not going to condemn the person who did. even by using this website, you're giving them money. the blaze in question was $5, which isn't necessarily a lot for a huge company like tumblr. sure, no money is ideal, and i'm not supporting giving money to them. the blazer's heart was in the right place however, as they just wanted to spread awareness. the blaze got rejected anyways, so the blazer got their money back.
just thought i'd address this :))
andddd to the surprise of no one:
Tumblr media
he is trying to cover this up. there wasn't even a reason given for the rejection. this post does NOT go against TOS or community guidelines whatsoever. i would know, i've read through them both thrice. i did, however, find this!
Tumblr media
i have the right to display and redistribute this. this is stated in the tos. for fuck's sake, @photomatt @staff follow your own advice. here's a little reminder in case you forgot (straight from your own tos!):
Tumblr media
you fucked around, now you're finding out. womp womp.

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.
— This statement was authored by multiple trans employees of Tumblr and Automattic.

You know, I was thinking about how the hell to continue this silly little in-character blog for a while, perhaps mentioning the sense of safety I once felt as a transfem on this site, seeing others like me. But, clearly, my scawy transfem kind is not welcome here. Fuck this, fuck this hellsite, fuck you @photomatt,
You poked the hive, and we're gonna sting.

I am but one of many. Share the file, save the file, dont let him off the hook, immortalize what has happened here.
May you unwittingly skedaddle towards a large pitfall, remain suspended in the air for three seconds before scratching your head and looking down, and then proceed to make Matt-shaped hole in the earth below.
Boo Womp.

woahhhh this is getting a lot of attention, tysm!!
i'd like to ask that if you are going to submit any evidence:
a. have it pre-screenshotted
b. check through the folder and make sure it isn't already there
i'm getting overwhelmed with dms rn, and i can't remember who's sending what and whether or not i already have it. don't get me wrong, i'm so grateful that sm people are seeing this and contributing, but it's getting hard to manage all at once.
i also want to let everyone know that i see your dms. if i've told you that i'll upload any evidence you provided and i haven't yet, check the dropbox, make sure the ss aren't there, then dm me and lmk. don't spam, as i'll probably assume you're as a troll and block. pleasepleaseplease ss them for me, i'm super busy and it'll make it easier for me to upload efficiently.
tysm everyone, here's to holding ppl accountable.!!!
hello everyone!! this is a burner account to share this:
as photomatt deletes everything, me and a few others are trying our best to compile screenshots to spread the word of the situation. most of the screenshots in the dropbox feature a comment by one of our helpers containing context. if you have any screenshots you'd like to add, please dm me. there is a high chance this account will get banned, so please save this dropbox and the screenshots included and continue to spread the word.
thank you!!
edit: thank you to all the people sharing and reblogging this! please note that this dropbox is being constantly updated (as i type this, files are being processed) so be sure to check in frequently for updates.
edit 2: as this gets more popular, i'm getting more and more worried about the probability of getting banned. to send me screenshots, please feel free to add me on discord (@mit_skies). i'll try to keep everyone updated on there + it'll be easier for me to see and document screenshots.

Matt needs to resign as CEO.
His actions not only on the site but also his actions on twitter (seeking out predstrogen to further harrass her) are not only inexcusable but absolutely unacceptable for a CEO to be committing.
His actions have made it clear that he is basically elon musk but without the money and absolutely should not be in charge of a social media site that advertises itself as being queer friendly.
I don't know how tumblr's structure works with it's shareholders but for a CEO to use what is supposed to be his time off to commit unprofessional actions as the face of the company while harming it's public image and reputation in the process, well it seems like something shareholders should not be happy with.
