Not to be mean but you only reblog art that is extremely done and with a lot of attention given to it. You rarely seem to give any attention to stuff out of your circle,, so I think you aren’t really the person to make that art psa post?

ur missing the point of my post i think? okay let me break it down to you: fandom, for me at least, is about making friends. you become friends when someone reaches out and talks to you or when you reach out and talk to someone. i have NEVER restricted anyone from talking to me. my dms are always open, meaning anyone can message me. i have asks open, anon on, so anyone can share any opinion they want with me, which you are doing right now, and they can potentially ‘befriend’ me and reveal who they are later, if they so choose. obviously, i control what asks get published on my blog, but that’s besides the point

the point is—am i obligated to answer every ask i receive? no. i have over 3,600 unanswered asks right now. i cannot possibly do that without destroying the dashes of everyone that follows me. and the point of my post is that no one is obligated to reblog anything from anyone BECAUSE people experience and curate their experiences differently. promoting better reblog culture and better fandom interactions is an extremely good thing. what i was hopefully getting across is that trying to pin that responsibility on any group/individual in any community is EXTREMELY counterproductive. it will get us nowhere

as for why i ‘rarely give attention to stuff outside my circle’ it’s very simple. i have Already curated my experience. i don’t look at posts in the tags. i don’t want my day ruined. i also cannot follow people who shit talk dream or george or quackity etc. and a bunch of other creators. idk how to tell you this but dteamblr is very small compared to other sectors of mcytblr. most of my mutuals/friends are people that actively post. or at least actively posted at some point that we were able to cross paths. the people i talk to a lot/the most i either don’t know their follower count or they told me for some reason and its anywhere from 50 to like a few thousand. so what do i do w my friends? i don’t really turn on notifications, but i do for a small handful. i promise you it’s very random and has nothing to do with follow count. i also don’t check my dash a lot. so if something is getting reblogged a lot, it increases my chances of seeing it, but even then… half the times i don’t see what my mutuals have been saying. most of the posts on my blog are my own posts or whatever i dump into my queue

which is my next point. i use the ‘stuff for you’ tab on the tumblr mobile app. that’s where i get most of the posts i queue. its like half fandom stuff half random shit. ik. its a SUPER scuffed ‘for you page’ but yes. i generally trust that tab to show me cool stuff. and often times what the algorithm decides is ‘for me’ are posts that already have a bunch of notes. so that’s the stuff i end up queuing. if my queue is running low, i go on there to queue a bunch of stuff and then i go. i mainly interact w my tumblr account through my friends and my activity page (that i have filtered so i see asks n replies n reblogs) so if i rb something my friend made, it’s because they sent it to me. anyone is welcome to send anything to me! but there’s no guarantee that i’ll reblog it because ultimately this is my blog and i decide what goes on it. i could ignore a piece of art w 5k notes. i could rb something w 100 notes. i can’t prove it to you because you don’t have access to how i browse, but i assure you i don’t look at art and go ‘well this only has x number of notes… not reblogging it then!’ like my blog isn’t my job i just do random shit here. im not gonna scour my dash and the tags head to toe for content. im sure im missing out on a ton of content but i simply do not have the time. i also make my own content so… i’m just gonna do what’s fun and easy for me. this is fandom. i’m not being paid to reblog your posts. you can if you want to! do you want to support a struggling student? my ko-fi is in my bio. does that horrify you? yeah exactly. fandom is for fun so while we can and should promote a supportive culture, no one is OBLIGATED to do anything

that’s… really all there is to it. i don’t have a vendetta against anyone. i promise you, if you dm me with a conversation topic in mind, i will HAPPILY engage in it with you, especially if it is a mutual interest. and if i am your friend, there is obviously a higher chance i will reblog your posts as compared to people i don’t know! i can’t speak for other people but that’s how i work. i’m not gonna reblog every piece of art or writing i see, and i assure you it has nothing to do with how ‘good’ i think something is. or how many notes it already has. hope this helps 👍🏻

also if i can make some closing thoughts… tumblr’s follower count is hidden. unless you’re telling me you go up to every account you see and hack in to find their follow count… you don’t know how much traction someone is actually getting? like over half my followers are inactive i promise you. our community is very small. i’m not making posts that break 1k left and right either. random stuff i do ‘for notes’ is genuinely just for fun. like have fun, don’t obsess over who is reblogging what, and talk about the things you like on your own blog.

it’s been a while, hent it

So I haven’t been posting due to a confluence in the past half-year or so [*] of

dealing with health problems in the family

travelling for my current job

searching for a new job

and not having Doctor Who on the air [**]

but I doubt anyone actually noticed because, in case you’re unaware, this whole website is sinking, and I am just a deckchair being rearranged by people who really want to be sure the website doesn’t show too much of its underside on its way to the bottom of the godforsaken Sea of Opinions.

So yes, I’m going to use my first post in a while to rant about the site yet again. (And then I’ll probably vanish for a few weeks more yet because I’ll be busy travelling abroad.)

But, I hear nobody cry out impulsively, the site is out of Verizon’s hands! WordPress’s parent company owns it now and actually maybe won’t screw the whole thing up! Maybe not, and to be clear I think that—for better or worse—WordPress and WordPress.com have been an enormous force in web publishing for the common netizen [***]. I have no doubt that Automattic’s heart is in the right place, and in the same way that Flickr seems to now be improving overall after Verizon sold it to SmugMug—at least in the short term—I can only hope that this acquisition by a weblog business results in Tumblr being more focussed on, you know, weblogging. [****]

The disastrous fiasco that is the adult content ban, though, remains in place, which is highly disappointing for all the same reasons I viscerally reacted against it when it was first implemented. And while personally I’ve found the false negatives from my own tumblelog quite amusing—and yes, posts on this tumblelog are being flagged as adult content [*****]—

—I shudder to think what the impact has been on other communities built around entirely healthy aspects of human sexuality that now have to go elsewhere, and have to stay elsewhere despite the change in ownership because apparently the Automattic CEO thinks that Tumblr is ‘just fun’.

I was frankly quite puzzled by the WSJ article’s suggestion that the Automattic CEO saw maintaining the content policy as justified by the complementarity of WordPress.com and Tumblr. Again, take the case of SmugMug and Flickr, two services now under the same roof. SmugMug is about building a polished photography showcase; Flickr is about communities of photographers. Similarly, from my perspective: WordPress.com is similarly about nice, polished weblogs and websites; Tumblr is about communities of microbloggers. And that means it’s actually maybe a little weird that WordPress.com has no adult content ban (check their TOS—they don’t review the content they host) and Tumblr does. I happen to think they’ve got this the wrong way round.

Incidentally, I looked at Flickr’s policy around content moderation, and I see some things that wouldn’t be so bad for Tumblr to imitate. The thing that sticks out most is the graduated safety level—content isn’t just safe or unsafe, and there is a middle ground.

A good rule of thumb is, bare breasts and bottoms are "moderate." Full frontal nudity is "restricted."

And yes, pornographic videos are entirely prohibited, but note that the ‘restricted’ safety level isn’t just for nudity that belongs in a museum (which happens to be only a light paraphrase of the most that SmugMug seem willing to tolerate, based on their terms of service). The broad description explicitly states:

Restricted - full-frontal nudity and sexual acts; photos only–videos cannot contain restricted content and are deleted if reported

—and this seems far more reasonable than a blanket restriction on both photos and videos. Plus, unlike Tumblr, they’re not sending robots after you to close down your entire account:

An account safety level is changed only by Flickr staff when any images reviewed are incorrectly categorized

so there’s that, at least.

Could Automattic change its mind somewhere down the line? Maybe, and this acquisition is an interesting change for the site's future in general—I really thought Tumblr was just going to die a slow, agonising death under Verizon’s auspices, any semblance of personality utterly sucked out and crushed over time by Oath’s profit-centred advertising machine. But if the new boss sees Tumblr as ‘just fun’, I don’t hold out much hope that he’s going to be materially much different from the old boss.

So I just wanted to get all that off my chest for a bit. It's one of the many situations I'm in right now where I dearly hope I'm wrong, but at the same time it'd simply be unwise to be mentally prepared for the worst.

Again, I am travelling, and I generally just don't have access to my workstation, but I'll probably have another rant to spew before the year's out. It probably won't about this website, at least not directly ...

Footnotes:

[*: In fact, my ill-advised Star Wars AU list only went up back in May because it was queued up and in the mentioned confluence of things, I just forgot that I’d left it in the queue and in an unfinished state. So I haven’t actually written anything for this tumblelog in almost a year, since Series 11 ended.]

[**: I know, I never posted anything about the New Year’s special, and that’s partly because the main antagonist frankly freaked me out so much that I was a bit traumatised, but I also just didn’t know what to think about it. From what I remember of it, it felt decent enough (especially compared to various Christmas specials of the past), but seemed to be trying a bit too hard in parts, and given that it is literally the one episode of Doctor Who we are getting for the entirety of the calendar year 2019, it deserved to be a bit less clunky and a bit more brilliant. Oh well.]

[***: I am never ever giving up on that term.]

[****: Also a term I’m never giving up on. Also, I'm trying to resist judging either Tumblr or Automattic based solely on the fact that the one new feature added to this website in the subsequent months is apparently ... group chats.]

[*****: OK, credit where it’s due: if Tumblr really are having humans review content appeals, the humans are making very quick work of it more often than not, because I’ve had posts restored mere moments after I’ve submitted an appeal. But this is a moot point for people who conceivably are meant to be excluded by the new guidelines.]

Attention All

I know there are a lot of you who follow me for the furry art that I reblog (as that is the only thing I do with this account now lol). I just want to let you know that because of Tumblr recently being deleted from the App Store, I cannot use it on my phone, which was what I used to access it most of the time.

For that reason, I need to say that I will no longer be using this account other than for reference of things I have saved here. I do have over 100 posts queued so those will keep getting posted for over a week. After they are finished, I will probably not post anymore. Thanks for following me, I’ve had a great time.

I did get a Twitter account a few months ago. You can find me there @yotewoof. I would really appreciate a follow over there!

I will be putting this post at the end of my queue to be reblogged once the furry art has run out, and I will also schedule it to reblog again sometime in December to serve as a reminder.

Yes Bank customers scramble for cash withdrawal at branches, most ATMs run dry

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/yes-bank-customers-scramble-for-cash-withdrawal-at-branches-most-atms-run-dry/

Yes Bank customers scramble for cash withdrawal at branches, most ATMs run dry

Panicked Yes Bank customers were seen queuing up at the bank’s ATMs at various locations, but to no avail as as most cash-dispensing machines ran dry, after the Reserve Bank placed the crisis-hit lender under a moratorium.

However, customers said they were able to withdraw the stipulated amount of ₹50,000 through cheques at various Yes Bank branches.

Customers are also facing trouble because net banking services are not working and some even complained that their credit cards are also not working.

As the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has superseded the board of the private sector lender on a precarious financial condition and has appointed a former SBI executive as its administrator, customers cannot withdraw more than ₹50,000 under the moratorium period till April 3, 2020.

Several customers at a bank branch in central Delhi said they faced no problem while withdrawing the sum of ₹50,000 through cheques.

“Internet banking is not working, even the credit card has stopped working; however, I withdrew my amount through cheque,” said Lalit Kumar, a Yes Bank customer of its Gole Market branch here.

At an ATM in Ghaziabad, Yes Bank customers queued up to withdraw money, but to no avail as there was no cash.

Most of the Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) wore a deserted look due to the non-availability of cash.

A Delhi-based customer said he was able to withdraw limited cash of about ₹3,000-4000 only from an ATM, adding the cheque withdrawal helped him take out the remaining amount under the moratorium restriction.

However, a display at the Post Office situated at Parliament Street read: “No Yes Bank cheques will be cleared until further orders from the RBI.”

Besides, people also complained that Yes Bank-facilitated meal cards are not working.

Payment facilitator for small businesses Instamojo’s CEO & Co-founder Sampad Swain said the company would temporarily be withholding payouts to merchants having Yes bank accounts until further clarity on the situation.

“This is to ensure that no merchant’s funds get blocked. As an alternate, we have provided our merchants the option to change their registered bank from Yes bank to another account,” Mr. Swain said.

Yes Bank’s administer Prashant Kumar in a statement issued on Friday said there was no need for panic and the bank was working to bring the situation under control before April 3 — time till when the moratorium remains in place.

“The current moratorium has been brought into effect keeping the depositors’ interest in mind and towards restoring their confidence.

“A solution is being worked upon to revive the Bank well before the moratorium period of thirty days ends. The bank is also taking necessary steps to ensure seamless transactions for the customers. We assure the depositors that their money is safe and there is absolutely no reason to panic,” Mr. Kumar said.

Fintech start-up in payment and transaction technology space PayNearby said: “At PayNearby, its business as usual. Our systems are up and running without any disruption. We are a strong technology backed fintech company and have multiple banking partners.”

“Yes Bank has been a very valuable partner in our journey and we are confident that they will soon bounce back and we will be able to continue working together again,” said Anand Kumar Bajaj, MD & CEO, PayNearby.

Yes Bank also said it remains available to address all queries and clarifications. Depositors are requested to get in touch with the nearest branch for any assistance.

“We would like to inform you that our ATMs are now functional. You can locate the ATM nearest to you here: https://community.yesbank.in,” read the Yes Bank tweet, tagging the twitter handles of the Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank.

“Our working hours are Monday-Saturday [9 a.m. to 8 p.m.],” it added.

Stock of Yes Bank came under heavy selling pressure on Friday and plunged by more than 84% intra-day before closing the day down by 56% at ₹16.20 apiece on BSE.

The country’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI), which has evinced interest for 49% stake in the private sector lender, said it is evaluating the draft reconstruction scheme for Yes Bank.

“We have received draft scheme of reconstruction for Yes Bank. Our investment and legal team is doing due diligence,” Chairman Rajnish Kumar told reporters in Mumbai on Saturday.

Bank officials are doing due diligence of the draft scheme, he added.

He also said potential investors have approached SBI after seeing the draft scheme

On Friday, the RBI announced a draft scheme of reconstruction for cash-starved Yes Bank.

In its draft ‘Yes Bank Ltd. Reconstruction Scheme, 2020’, the RBI said the strategic investor bank will have to pick up 49% stake and it cannot reduce holding to below 26% before three years from the date of capital infusion.
