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.
You know… I think I’m going to do this on every Monday after December 17th until they fix this shit
Making fun of i-am-fish posts for being lighthearted and harmless is embaressing and dookie-brained culture. Youre not funny for mocking people making innocent content.
the fish blog knowingly has pedo apologists and shit ton of racists in their server because their mods cant mod for shit i think its fair to say we’re allowed to take shots at the unfunny cishet bootlicker blog thats stuck in 2010 thanks
lets not forget the fact that she seems to be white and is certainly non-black and is constantly butchering aave and mae for goof points– literally making fun of the way poc talk isn’t innocent content. it would be one thing if she was just saying stuff like “uwu” or “pupper”, but shes not. she’s a racist, unfunny pedo apologist who would rather throw lgbt people under the bus than risk making her straight following uncomfortable
didn’t have to scroll that far honestly
im confused now h
lol it’s called a smear campaign
this is what happened to thomas sanders too just bc they found out he supported aces
also, about the one thing they actually did fuck up and not a server raid being taken out of context?
they literally acknowledged they fucked that up and they are literally trying to be a good person and not blindly defend themself
