For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:
  • Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
  • Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
  • Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
  • Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
  • Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
  • Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
  • Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
  • Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
  • Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

I really DON’T like getting into fights with people about this and it stresses me out but w/ everything that’s been going down the last 10yrs with all the… rise of mainstream white supremacy and antisemitism and islamophobia and the rise of violent anti-immigrant sentiment it’s just… like its irresponsible to even sligtly pretend that white supremacy and Christian supremacy aren’t … the… same

Look around u. U cannot ignore these connections it’s just…it is simply not responsible in the face of everything that’s happening

SO yeah

i could not imagine being ariana grande like… to be blamed and sent threats for mac miller dying, then to be blamed for pete davidson’s mental health issues when she has ptsd herself from an actual bomb killing her fans at her concert… and she does nothing but try to continue to lift people up. and y’all take and take and drag and drag all to blame her for the actions of the men she chose to have in her life like… y’all don’t understand how insideious that is.

i remember watching y’all blame rihanna after chris brown beat her.

i watched y’all blame amber heard after she said johnny depp hurt her. 

y’all forever blaming the women in pain for the shitty actions of men, and then go on to praise the men.

just say you hate women and go. just say you like having sex with women but you don’t see them as people, just objects for your own pleasure.

just admit you’re misogynistic and our culture somehow manages to always blame the woman. for her assault. her rape. her abuse. everything.

i’m so tired

tumblr ancients are pretending we stay on tumblr because we know it won’t end but we are more like these old people in movies who tell others to run and leave them behind, because they lived their entire lives on that shitty farm

if she’s your girl why is she approaching me gently and with her hand stretched out so i have the opportunity to sniff her and decide if she is a danger to me or not
