#tumblr staff is shit

⚠️
If you see shit like this in your usual tags, Report and Block. This is another way for Porn Bots and Scammers to hook onto and target accounts. Check the tags you post in regularly so that you can not only protect your account but others as well. They are NOT classified under the 18+ filter so minors can and would see these when scrolling through their tags and feed.

I’ve already reported these two but please if you see more do so immediately. These are hooks for the accounts to populate accounts to target and these are accounts that once established can and do end up reblogging your content. Yes, they are capable of reblogging your content in order to expand and look lived in. Don’t be fooled it’s still a bot doing this, it just hasn’t been reported yet and allowed to live on the site long enough to do so.

idk how many of you remember this but a few years ago tumblr ran a universally panned ad campaign for (us american) pride month that went "the gayest place on the internet".
well someone planning that campaign dropped in to ask the queer automatticians for advice on that and universally me and the other trans people involved were like "don't do it. i am so serious. don't do it. people on tumblr won't understand that it wasn't automattic who instituted the porn ban, or they will, but they'll recognize that automattic hasn't done anything, hands tied or not, to reverse it. nobody will like this. it will be a disaster." and they thanked us for our thoughts and went ahead with it anyway and then had to do retrospectives about how badly it went and were like "we just didn't know" and [gestures] yeah [edit: i think the person who rbed saying it was queerest place on the internet was right, my brain is fried, sorry! and that's... even worse lmao]

IMPORTANT: TUMBLR & FANFICTION
Alright kids, listen up because @staff have pulled off a corker of a hot mess and have decided to add "Community Labels". I guess they've decided we can't be trusted to add our own warnings and people can't make sensible choices with what they engage with.
But why does it matter to me?
Tumblr have made labels AN OPT IN SITUATION which means every single blog here is automatically set to hide any triggering content
If you want to continue to be able to access and read fanfiction PLEASE go into your settings and click "show" on at least the "Mature" and "Sexual Themes" labels!!
ALSO IOS USERS: there's an extra fun "Hide additional content" bit just to really try and block us from any hopes of success. Make sure you opt out of that too otherwise I think content will be blocked on the mobile app!
Attached to this post are screenshots from my settings so you guys know what to look for. I could only find it on my desktop settings and not on the mobile app (for now at least)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[I feel like I should add I don't want to sound like I'm pressuring anyone... if you don't want to see certain content obviously keep it hidden and protect yourselves BUT this post is mainly targeted at the horny little gremlins I write for who will be suddenly deeply confused when their smut supply is cut off]

Tumblr’s Twitter account wasn’t banned with the others because only accounts that promote social medias get banned, and what Staff is doing over there is the equivalent of showing someone a used car and telling them that the frame is rusted through, and that it only comes with three tires.

head up if you don’t want tumblrs partnered ai companies automatically scraping your blog for image datasets, you need to manually opt out.
You can’t do this in the app rn (apparently you can but I couldn’t find it so you might have to update), only the desktop version or web browser on your phone. It will also need to be done for every sideblog you have.
You find it by opening up your blog settings > scroll down to visibility > prevent third party sharing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As an aside, I’d thoroughly recommend opting out of having your blog scraped, even if you’re not an artist. Afaik Tumblr hasn’t explicitly stated which companies they’ll be partnering with, but the vagueness of that wording is really alarming.
These datasets use a lot of selfies for photorealistic results, moderation of who has access to these datasets is notoriously ass, and a lot of AI engines are being used to generate pornography and racist imagery (you can see this rn with the rise of ai generated propaganda). While ‘your likeness is used in an awful generated image without your consent’ IS a worst case scenario, it’s a really upsetting one. Protect yourselves.

every time i say tumblr staff (and tumblr itself let's be real) made social media worse by never punishing harassment, allowing people to get comfortable pushing cancel and callout culture so they could harass and dehumanize anyone (especially minorities) they want without ever having to worry about consequences, an attitude they brought with them to other websites like tiktok and twitter after the 2018 porn ban....
This is what I'm talking about. tumblr staff doesn't give a shit if you're stalked and harassed, but if you're a trans woman posting selfies? instant ban.
tumblr staff has NEVER done anything to protect its users, but now they're actively participating in doing the harm.

Genuinely don't know what to do abt this shit anymore man. I've been on tumblr for so long, have had so many blogs, have lived through all sorts of wild shit that staff does. I have nowhere else to go either. Nowhere else can provide what this platform does for me. But this treatment of trans folk has me legitimately scared for the future of this place if something thats clearly visibly a joke can get you banned for life. When hateful terfs can just say whatever they want and not have problems if they get reported. I mean this isn't fucking twitter. I just. Fuck dude. Idk. I'm worried and angry and as a trans person I'm scared to even make jokes abt this situation lest i also get banned for "death threats" or something. This is insane. And it's gone on for a while now. And fuck. Tumblr needs to do better. Seriously.

Well Okay Tumblr,
You’ve done it,
You’ve somehow managed to fuck up royally again.
Tumblr media
This, this here, Shouldn’t be a thing. It’s should NEVER be a thing. This here, these memes. They’re indicative of you not doing your job nor being worth that $7.99 checkmark let alone 1¢.
You haven’t stopped harassing and mistreating your adult users who post NSFW, even though you’ve learned your lesson that not allowing it on your hellsite was a bad idea and why. Although that be giving your empty peanut shell of a brain credit. Dear tumblr staff.
No.
You “removed” the no adult content rule not for your users benefit. No, you STILL ban, delete, and otherwise remove posts by your mature users or just straight up destroy accounts for posting even the slightest sign of something sexual or seductive.
No rather you removed the “No Adult Stuff” rule so that you can get money from the porn sites and their shit bots. You get money for every post they pay you to boost, or for every “AD” they create. Any and all of these accounts I’ve seen have checkmarks which tells me that they PAID YOU to exists and persist. Even if you didn’t intend for this to be a problem.
You had enough time to fix this.
You’ve had enough time to not be a dick to your user base.
You’ve had enough time to not have this be an issue.
If you’re gonna be taking user money, why not USE the money to make the site BETTER for the USERS who PAID YOU MONEY.
Speaking of money where is it going exactly cause I can almost certainly guarantee it not towards advertisement or server space. No, it seems to be towards yet again frivolities that make working for tumblr seem neat.
You’re not fooling anyone, we know it sucks. Why not use that money to make it suck less? Why not, instead of taking a lazy route to solving issues, you actually put in some work to fix it.
So pandering to us and our community.
You are not Tumblr.
WE ARE TUMBLR
You’re nothing but a dead husk without users, and right now you’re on the road to losing your user base by not.
A) treating them better, sure the mature filter in nice but it shouldn’t affect visibility of a post. Which right now it does, you are actively punishing users for posting mature content under your rules and stipulations that it be under the mature filter.
B) allowing porn bots to persist even though they do none of that and harass your user base.
Tldr for your dumb dumb brain.
Tumblr anger at you for punishing users who abide by your arbitrary bullshit, but for some reason Porn Bots get a pass.
And before you say “mature doesn’t mean adult” you need a fucking dictionary and a reality check you stupid stupid staff.

How do we feel about Beach wear Noritoshi....
Tumblr media
Everyone thinks he'd go covered head to toe wearing those wet suits divers use, but no. Noritoshi isn't the type to want to attract attention to himself when it's not needed, so he'd try to blend in. Emphasis on try.
He's the guy wearing a covering or some shit. I think you'd have to fight him to wear a translucent one. (if you splash him with water, you'll acheive the same effect thoughahahaha) even though it's a beach, he's trying to find an appropriate way to cover up, hes just like that. yes to sunscreen ofc. I can see him in a sun hat, but it's not his.. maybe he took it from one of the girls
HIS HAIR WOULD BE UP BC ITD BE TOO HOT AND THE SUN HAT WOULD HELP HIM FROM GETTING OVERHEATED H.H....H IS FACE WOULD BE FLUSHED BC OF THE HEAT AND. AND. AND.. he's like the beach babe on the shore, soaking up the sun and reading a book or smth. if you splash him with water, i can see him trying to get you back. then boom bam, hes in the water with everyone else.
OH FUCK that's even IF he goes to the beach. it's like seeing God in the flesh, idk man I'd go blind........... hed probably come along when he realizes theres hot people at the beach. he cant have you looking at people in that state, hold on hes going. give him five minutes..!

Did Tumblr really change the snooze tumblr live feature from 7 days to 30 but now the fucking thing doesn't even work? I've tried just turning it off and on, clearing the cache, trying again, trying multiple times in a row, restarting my phone. Nothing. The little live thing on the dashboard taunts me. Fuck off. Fix this broken ass site
