the useability of this site on my main account specifically has been dropping by the day, each day it takes longer to load, fails to load more often and just generally becomes more annoying to use

#not that i do more than lurk here now anyway

tumblr is horribly laggy today wtf

[keleksos]

Tumblr's reply to the situation with CEO's transphobia is pathetic and you should not be thanking them for doing the bare minimum of saying he's not speaking for them. They fucking thanked that bitch.

The affected trans women are still banned.

A transphobic manchild offered no proper apology. Or stopped. He is also still in his position.

Tumblr is still factually transphobic. Keep pushing.

Trans women are intentionally misgendered, threatened and called pedophiles, and are the targets of callout/vague posts every single week in here. It's not "just staff and terfs"

Since February 19th: Tumblr's CEO, photomatt, made a statement about predstrogen's (unfair) termination, misgendering her and threatening to call the FBI on her (archived screenshots). Then, on February 20th: he continued to harass Rita on Twitter

Following this, multiple other trans women were terminated due to their criticism of staff's and photomatt's handling of this situation, like: milf-adjacent, catgirldick, nebulaaaaaa, jammerjenny, yaoivriskaforever, 8millionsystem, trans-kitty-meow, mozzarella-firefox, rulerofpurple, gay-satan-3, catgirlpunishedshaft

On February 21st: dykemacabre accused Kara (a member of Cohost's staff) of being a pedophillic furry and a lolicon, blaming her for allowing "cub porn" on the platform, which was a lie; the site doesn't allow that, and the post was quickly proven to be intentionally misleading. After being caught, dykemacabre apologized for part of the post, but doubled down, later deactivating

On February 27th: ardourie (formerly known as neotrances, well-known transmisogynist) began harassing enemy-viv over a post about Aaron Bushnell's online identity (like his username and use of pronouns on YouTube/Reddit/Discord,) which lead to people accusing Viv of "transvestigating" Aaron's online presence (while misusing that word) and spreading lies about Viv. She deactivated due to the harassment and has stated that she won't come back

On March 8th: roadhogsbigbelly (who accused txttletale [January 10th] and Gretchen Felker-Martin [February 1st] of being pedophiles) doubled down several times while arguing with different people about "not misgendering" a trans girl (after vagueing her), while misgendering her multiple times

This happens every week

Almost every single week there is a new callout, a new harassment campaign, new anons spreading rumours/misinformation, and more people comfortably vagueing and misgendering trans women

It's not just staff and terfs

hey here's your daily reminder to not forget photography matthew's childish little meltdown about a single trans woman nor to reduce its implications on the entire site's marginalized users to le funny car hammer explosion joke

Obliterating this blog because of the midjourney thing, I'll post stuff on cohost now and that's about it

CEO of Tumblr, Matt Mullenweg, has started openly harassing tumblr users on other platforms. This dude is actually incredibly scary and malicious and should not be involved with this website going forward. Theres just no excuse for this behavior.

Also like this can't be explained away by "it's hard to moderate so many blogs"

Versus

Like it's pretty obvious who's welcome here and who's not. An actual hate group is more welcome than the victims of their harassment.

was that bit about the rogue contracted moderator banning trans people for bribes last year already public knowledge cause that was the first time i heard about that

[keleksos]

y'know, back when I used Reddit, if you found some hateful content of any sort, it wasn't that hard to report it. You clicked the "Report" button, selected "Hateful Content" out of the wide variety of options available, and then clicked the "Submit" button. I did this pretty often, because some of the communities I was in attracted rather unsavory characters as a side effect.

Do you know what happened next? Next, I received an automated message that said basically "Hey, thanks for reporting This Content (link to reported content). We've received your report and will review it shortly." Usually, a day or two later, you'd receive another message in your inbox saying "Thanks again for reporting. We found this content in violation of our TOS and have removed it." Sure enough, if you followed the link back to whatever you reported, it would be gone.

It was that easy. No explaining yourself, no explaining yourself again but differently, no redirect to a new tab, you didn't even need to know the specifics of what did or didn't violate TOS. No matter what happened, they would write back and tell you what was going on. If the reported content didn't violate TOS, they would tell you.

When I hopped over here full-time, I continued that reporting habit, thinking it'd be largely the same experience. I have had complete and utter radio silence from @staff on every single report I've ever filed. Have I been making a difference? Is my voice being considered? Who knows! But it certainly hasn't felt like it so far.

At least now I know those reports were going straight into the garbage, rather than just having to wonder.

[keleksos]

Every time @photomatt needs to validate his idiot ego, he conjures fucking supreme wizard powers of moderation to wipe some poor tranny off the face of the earth. Remember that one girl who got all posts 0-noted bc she pointed out most of staff are transmisogynists?

Why we ain't see that shit used on the fuckin Nazis.

[keleksos]

Incredibly intelligent maneuver by tumblr ceo to make a post that boils down to “if you want to deserve staff looking into preventing your months of harassment as well as explaining why your accounts keep getting scorched-earth deleted when you’ve made a point to follow TOS, you have to avoid hurting OUR special feelings or we’ll call the FBI on you. This is totally not transphobic despite only happening to trans women btw” and then delete the same trans woman’s account again. Excellent work sire you’ve reached new depths of spinelessness and ineptitude

[keleksos]

wait. photomatt went back and edited that post and removed any instance of using pronouns at all after receiving backlash. he decided he would rather avoid gendering avery at all instead of gendering her correctly.

[keleksos]

you need to get it out of your mind that psychosomatic illness is just “making up symptoms” when it’s actually much more like your body is being actively poisoned by chemicals released from your brain

[keleksos]

plz plz plz can someone post the pic of him directly quoting the threat, it is so funny 2 me but i cant find the pic again. why did he say it out loud "it said i need to die a lot in a car covered in hammers multiple explosion accident. never have i been subject to such hate" bro u sound like wile e coyote

[keleksos]
