The Vox article that I was interviewed for is up and running, and it contains some serious fuckign information about this whole fiasco.

Information that tumblr just straight up refused to provide to its userbase at all.

Unsurprisingly to those of us watching this website deteriorate over the last year, this full content purge and ban has been in progress for a solid 6 months. The date got moved up because of the child porn thing, but it was always coming for us.

Equally unsurprising: Tumblr’s management and ownership are absolutely destroying the actual staff working on it. The company has been hemoragghing senior staff without so much as a token attempt to keep them in place. So the drops in site quality are real, and wil probably only be getting worse.

Truly astonishing is the fact that apparently this crap was supposed to “double” the userbase by the end of next year. Boy, howdy, that’s not gonna work out well for them.

good luck with your plan to sell ads targeting a user base that doesn’t exist any more, @staff.

Then they’re def gonna let Tumblr die on the vine when it doesn’t pan out. It’ll take a few years but mark my words, this is going to work out about as well as when Rupert Murdoch bought MySpace and everybody left. Also, fuck Verizon forever.

Plz lemme know if you reblog this and it disappears. I have Suspicions.

I mean, there are already mutuals of mine reporting that they can’t see this post, only a “post was deleted"notice on my blog, and I’m the OP.

So, whatever your suspicions are, I suppose mark them as confirmed.

i’ve seen it disappear about 5 times off my dash.

What all ask boxes look like for me (submission boxes look exactly the same):

Left: what happens when I try to open dms (New Message does nothing); I can’t even read them. Right: when I try to go to someone’s dms from their blog.

image

Neither new things I post nor old things I post show up in the tags they’re in, even if they were before.

I can type things into replies, but it won’t actually post them.

Since it doesn’t seem this one has been encountered by many people yet, maybe reblog this so people know about it. I’m probably getting deleted though

Tumblr is shadowbanning people and they aren’t even trying to be subtle about it.

Please spread the word.

I’m glad this is spreading but simultaneously it makes it sound like the shadowban is much less severe than it is because I didn’t realize, and this shadowban is so severe I can’t even add on / tell anyone that.

All my likes, reblogs, and replies are hidden from the notes of EVERY post.

When I like or rb things it doesn’t show notes in someone’s activity / dash, except long-time followers (not sure about the exact cutoff/conditions).

If I reblogged and added something to this from a non-follower they wouldn’t even know. Check and see: my rb’s don’t even show up in the notes. So people couldn’t even find out I added something on by checking the notes either:

image

Not to mention: I’m hidden from all searches, can’t be @’d, past @’s of me are hidden from my notes, I don’t get notified when people reply to a post I replied to, my @’s don’t give notes, and every search on my blog is blanked. I can’t even ask/submit to myself even with anons, and lots more.

Oh, yeah, and: MY BLOG ISN’T EVEN MARKED NSFW. Every flagged post I’ve found was restored. But every flagged post you contest brings attention to you that risks you just getting shadowbanned randomly.

THIS is the version that should get spread around…

Yes indeed no nudity but you can find all the discriminatory and hate speech you want!

But wait, the icing on the cake…

image

…really? Do i need even say anything.

image

since this place is going down the shitter, why not reblog this?

Here’s an extra layer of gross

 I may be wearing a tin foil hat, but I think they purposely want to do stuff like pit BLM against White Supremacists. They see it as an opportunity to make money. 

Here’s a link to the Vox article quoted above in question.

‘Hate and Strife Are Key Target Demographics’, basically.

You can be a fucking Racist but you cant enjoy a naked body…. Fuck you tumblr

Let them know.

That is all that is left of my abilities.

Let them know that the people who make executive decisions on tumblr are nothing but whores to money. Slaves to their own greed.

So much fucking money that it was worth screwing over most of their users.

I hope you crash your new executive sports car, you greedy fucking nameless pond filth.

White people utterly destroyed “weird flex but okay” that shit is BEYOND corny now

Damn white people and their…

*shuffles notes*

and their using common phrases?

can you stop complaining about every single thing we do maybe..

after y’all stop taking our culture and bastardizing it maybe we’ll reconsider

until then … WHITE PPL RUIN EVERYTHING

you do know this is about a meme, right? jesus, let people of any race have fun with memes, they’re meant to be shared. there’s no reason to bring that whole cultural appropriation topic into this.

WHITE PPL LITERALLY RUIN EVERYTHING

no, they don’t. we’re not ‘ruining’ a god damn meme! we’re just people who are living our lives and having a nice time on the internet. you’re making a very huge assumption here

y’all literally ravaged the world in search of “spices” (and half y’all still can’t cook might i add) and now y’all feel entitled to memes that were created by specific racial groups using words and phrases specific to said racial groups

y’all don’t ruin anything tho you got it

White ppl ruin everything

You clearly love to enjoy their inventions to shit on them.

Are whites writing you a check for saying this sis cus the only thing they invented was cheese 😂😂😂

using words like “sjw” and expecting me to take her seriously 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol You tried it sis.

Sincerely, a black woman.

Black woman? Who’s paying you to write this

Ummm Facts? Evidence? Common sense? Critical thinking? Not being a petty racist? Those are the people writing my checks.

You’ll never be white I’m sorry sis get over it

Lol Nice try at the troll job but ya gotta do better next time, hon. I don’t want to be white, I’m proud of my people but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna hate on white people for no damn reason. I’m not gonna be a bitch to an entire race for something their ancestors did. No white person alive today owned slaves but guess what, the African slave trade is still alive and well, so is the middle eastern slave trade. No race is without fault not even my own. Get over it, you child.

I didn’t read any of that so I’ll just say it again:

You’ll never be white sis get over it

And you’ll never be an intelligent human being nor do useful with your life. You petty, ignorant waste of space.

If white people ravaged the world for spices, I doubt it would be a wise idea to shit talk them.

my take;

If a people of a certain skin color saying a phrase is enough to ruin it for you, then you have the emotional maturity of a child.

If you think that blaming an entire race today for the actions of some fuckheads centuries back is a good thing, you have the moral maturity of a child.

If your response to someone of your race disagreeing with you is to basically discount their opinion because you think that the only opinions that count are the ones that conform to a hive mind mentality… then your just a fucking racist.

Also if you think that racial groups can “own” specific phrases and specific words then you were dropped on your head as a child.

Dropped nothin, her momma dribbled her across the living room like a Harlem Globetrotter.

Not to derail things, but when did white people “ravage the world for spices”? Last time I checked, the Arabs initiated the spice trade with Europe.

I know the british colonized basically everywhere, to the point where you could actually say “the sun never sets on the british empire.” No idea if it was for spices though.

I DO know that trade routes were opened up because of Arab’s having a pretty tight squeeze on spices. (and that little bit of history eventually lead to the creation of curry powder, fun facts.)

The notes are “Big Oof”
