Un Tumblr mejor y más positivo

Desde su fundación en 2007, Tumblr siempre ha sido un lugar en el que poder expresarse libremente y de forma creativa, con su propia comunidad y cultura. Como bien diría nuestro fundador, David Karp, estamos orgullosos de haber inspirado a toda una generación de artistas, escritores, creadores, curadores de contenido y activistas a redefinir nuestra cultura y fomentar esas peculiaridades que nos hacen a todos únicos.

Durante los últimos meses, inspirados por algunos de los acontecimientos de nuestra ilustre historia, hemos invertido mucho tiempo en determinar el rumbo que nos gustaría que tomara nuestra comunidad en el futuro y dedicado mucho trabajo a cimentar las ideas sobre las que construir un Tumblr mejor para todos. A lo largo de este proceso, nos hemos dado cuenta de que, para poder cumplir con nuestras promesas y ocupar el lugar que queremos en esta cultura, sobre todo al observar cómo evoluciona, debemos cambiar. Parte de esos cambios empezaron al dar pie a un debate más constructivo entre los miembros de la comunidad. Hoy vamos un paso más allá con la decisión de prohibir el contenido para adultos, entre el que se incluyen el contenido sexual explícito y los desnudos (con algunas excepciones).

Queremos ser rotundos con un aspecto en particular que no debe confundirse con los cambios en nuestras políticas que anunciamos hoy: publicar contenido que perjudique a cualquier menor, como pornografía infantil, es abominable y no tiene cabida alguna en nuestra comunidad. Nunca hemos tolerado este tipo de contenido ni lo haremos jamás. Por eso, nos hemos esforzado continuamente en invertir los recursos necesarios para asegurarnos de que nuestras políticas se cumplieran, llevando a cabo el tipo de seguimiento automatizado que aplica como estándar el sector tecnológico, con el trabajo de un equipo de personas dedicadas a moderar el contenido y poniendo a disposición de nuestros usuarios las herramientas necesarias para que denunciar este contenido fuera fácil y rápido. También colaboramos estrechamente con el Centro Nacional para Menores Desaparecidos y Explotados (NCMEC) y la Internet Watch Foundation, dos organizaciones indispensables que luchan a la vanguardia para proteger a los menores de cualquier tipo de abuso. Gracias a esta colaboración, tenemos la posibilidad de informar de cualquier infracción de nuestras políticas a las autoridades. Es imposible adelantarse a todas las personas malintencionadas que intentan aprovecharse de nuestra plataforma para difundir este tipo de contenido, pero nuestra prioridad es mantener esta comunidad a salvo de él en la medida de lo posible.

¿Qué va a cambiar?

A partir de ahora, las publicaciones que incluyan contenido para adultos no estarán permitidas en la plataforma. Además, hemos actualizado nuestras Normas de la comunidad para reflejar estas novedades. Sabemos que Tumblr es un lugar en el que os podéis expresar libremente sobre temas tan importantes como el arte, el positivismo sexual, vuestras relaciones, vuestra sexualidad y vuestras experiencias personales, y queremos seguir siendo una comunidad que acoja este tipo de diversidad, así que nuestras nuevas políticas están pensadas para generar el equilibrio necesario en este aspecto.

¿Por qué habéis tomado esta decisión?

Aspiramos humildemente a que Tumblr sea un refugio para la libertad creativa, el autodescubrimiento y el sentimiento de comunidad. Conforme la plataforma sigue creciendo y evolucionando, y a la vez que vamos entendiendo el impacto que tiene lo que hacemos sobre el resto del mundo, creemos que tenemos la responsabilidad de analizar qué efectos tiene lo que se publica aquí sobre los usuarios de distintos rangos de edad, países, culturas y mentalidades. Hemos dedicado bastante tiempo a considerar los pros y los contras de todas las formas de expresión que implicaban publicar contenido para adultos en Tumblr. Al hacerlo, nos fuimos dando cuenta de que, sin este contenido en la comunidad, tenemos la oportunidad de crear un ambiente más inclusivo y en el que más gente podrá sentirse a gusto al expresarse.

En resumen: sigue habiendo infinidad de rincones en internet donde alojar contenido para adultos. Lo dejamos todo en sus manos con el fin de centrarnos en crear un ambiente lo más acogedor posible para toda nuestra comunidad.

¿Y ahora qué?

Empezaremos a aplicar estas nuevas normas el 17 de diciembre de 2018. Los miembros de la comunidad que hayan publicado este tipo de contenido en Tumblr recibirán un aviso e instrucciones con los pasos a seguir si quieren solicitar la revisión de su caso, o bien alojar su contenido fuera de nuestra comunidad, si así lo deciden. Por supuesto, los cambios no tendrán lugar de un día para otro, ya que algo tan complejo nos llevará a todos un tiempo.

Por otro lado, filtrar este tipo de contenido sin que afecte al permitido, como imágenes de una manifestación política en la que haya desnudos como protesta o del David de Miguel Ángel, por ejemplo, no es sencillo cuando se hace a gran escala. Contamos con herramientas automáticas que identifican el contenido para adultos y con un equipo humano que entrenará a nuestros sistemas y ayudará a revisar el trabajo que hacen. Sabemos que cometeremos errores, pero hemos hecho todo lo posible para crear y poner en práctica una política que tenga en cuenta la diversidad de formas de expresión que están presentes en nuestra comunidad.

Y lo que es más importante: vamos a demostrar toda la transparencia posible en lo que respecta a las decisiones que tomemos y los recursos que ponemos a vuestra disposición, como información más detallada sobre los cambios, mejoras en nuestro servicio y una ampliación del equipo de moderación que trabaje directamente con la comunidad y sobre el contenido.

Igual que todos vosotros, adoramos Tumblr y lo que ha llegado a significar para millones de personas de todo el mundo. Las decisiones que tomamos son siempre el reflejo de nuestro aprecio por esta comunidad y la esperanza que nos brinda. A veces nos equivocaremos, sobre todo al principio, pero queremos que vuestra experiencia sea, por encima de todo, positiva.

La belleza de Tumblr era que cada quién veía lo que le interesaba, sea cual sea el contenido. Ésta decisión no es inclusiva, simplemente corta la libertad de quien encontraba algo de libertad aquí. Triste perder eso...

The motion to repeal Net Neutrality has been passed in a 3-2 vote

Before everyone loses their shit, I will like to urge everyone to take a deep breath and focus on the following:

1: This cannot go into immediate effect.

2: There is still many issues that WILL be addressed by the Congress, Supreme Court, and many other government officials have a current say in the false comments, stolen idenities, denial of public hearings, and many other issues that the FCC did not address.

3: CALL. YOUR. OFFICALS. Do NOT give up, just because the vote has passed, don’t you DARE stop. Make this shit go front-page, make some NOISE.

DO. NOT. STOP.

JUDGEMENT DAY

If we lose Net Neutrality in the next 24 hours, blame congress. Call your lawmakers now:

202-759-7766

Just 24 hours until the choice is made. Do your part if you already haven’t. Call the FCC and tell them you don’t want to pay for social media

-CALL: 202-418-1000

Or text RESIST to 50409 and get walked through the process of making your voice heard to your senator. They represent you and always will

Text “BATTLE” to 384-387 is also a useful one considering that 50408 is no longer working 😅

the FCC is no longer putting the ‘RESIST’ texts into consideration‼️

CALL: 202-418-1000 (FCC)

- say your Name

- your State

- & that you oppose the repeal of Net Neutrality !! if they don’t pick up leave a Voicemail

this is literally our only hope 🙏 plz call #NetNeutrality

But in the mean time Tumblr, BREAK THE INTERNET. Reblog these pics, post your own thoughts/blogs, spread the word, Join the Fight!

Don’t lie down and wait for results, make the results happen, we’re the people, we’re stronger than we know. Now let’s show it

@shyvaporwave @chicagoxjapan @sangapmarii @cubedcoconut @cutestlesbian-pearl @baited-in @nacrepearl @whateverman97 @mr-universe99 @coolerdeath @shesavampirequeen

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

See also:

Blood is thicker than water The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Meaning that relationships formed by choice are stronger than those formed by birth.

Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”

It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!

These made me feel better

Also, “great minds think alike” ends with “but fools rarely differ”

It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.

what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these 

“Birds of a feather flock together” ends with “until the cat comes.”

It’s actually a warning about fair-weather friends, not an assessment of how complementary people are.

I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.

I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.

The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I want to make designs out of these.

Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.

NICE

The legendary thread is back

Some Ammunition for the Net Neutrality Opposition

I came across a very interesting article regarding Net Neutrality….one that serves as good ammunition.

Over 1 million names were filed in favor of the repealing of the Net Neutrality rules.

Here’s the kicker.

According to an article on The Wired…THEY’RE ALL FRADULENT.

I don’t know about you, but last I looked, using real names to do phony things is identity theft.

Want proof? Here you go.

https://www.wired.com/story/fcc-must-investigate-fraud-before-voting-on-net-neutrality

I’m calling on everyone to do the following:

1) Boost This.

2) Use Resistbot to write to your governors and Congress, calling for them to freeze the vote until this is investigated.

3) Also…tell them that if it’s true, the guilty parties need to be arrested and the net neutrality repeal proposal scrapped.

Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr

That’s what is going to happen if we let Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, go through with repealing Title II (AKA Net Neutrality).

Simply put, without Net Neutrality, Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to “bundle” websites much like cable ON TOP OF paying for internet connection. “Want access to Netflix AND Tumblr? Get the Entertainment Package! $40 a month. What about Amazon and Ebay? Add an extra $20 a month to get the Shopping Package.”

Not only will they be able to bundle websites and charge more, they will also be able to censor and block websites that they don’t agree with entirely.

THIS WILL BE THE END OF INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.

For business owners, it will be even worse. Ex: Comcast will ask Amazon to pay high fees to be available in a low-cost package, fees that websites like Poshmark or Etsy will not be able to pay. Therefore, only Fortune 500’s will be available to web users at a low cost. Say goodbye to Etsy (unless you’re willing to shell out $70 a month for the “All-Inclusive” package).

There are five people deciding the future of the internet, three men (Rep) and two women (Dem). The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a NO vote to save Net Neutrality.

There are many ways you can help:

Most importantly, VOTE. This should not be something that is so clearly split between the political parties as it affects all Americans, but unfortunately it is.

PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR INTERNET!

NET NEUTRALITY - WHY YOU SHOULD CARE

A lot of people have been saying - Why should we care? This can’t be real, I don’t do politics, or “I’m not in the US” or “tumblr only has kids”,

Please PLEASE be informed, NET NEUTRALITY IS IMPORTANT, look at the other hundreds of posts on tumblr that will explain it 100 times better than me, but the TLDR of net neutrality gone IS -

- THE INTERNET would be split into packages. E.g. Messaging, streaming etc.

- THAT MEANS prices could be inflated, and this makes NO ROOM for innovation. You know youtube that started from nothing? or facebook? NEW INNOVATE IDEAS wouldn’t be able to bloom as COOPERATES would essentially MONOPOLIZE what you can and cannot use

- Different companies could advertise FAST LANES exclusive to THEM, like company A could say “WE HAVE FASTER FACEBOOK” while company B could be like “WE HAVE BETTER STREAMING”, ALL SHOULD BE EQUAL YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PACKAGES

- This also means that sites like AO3 that are crowdfunded WOULD BE SHUT DOWN. This means many cannot access tumblr because THEY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY.

- They also have the freedom to MEDIATE the internet. Essentially, show YOU news THEY WANT YOU to see, and BLOCK everything else. Sound familiar?

- THERE IS NO BENEFIT, TO US, THE CONSUMER, ITS JUST TO FEED GREEDY COOPERATES MORE MONEY AND INCREASING THE GAP BETWEEN COOPERATES AND US, AND THEY CAN LIMIT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH

YOU SHOULD CARE. They want to send us DECADES back, they want to have CONTROL AGAIN like they did with CABLE. DON’T GIVE IT TO THEM. DON’T GIVE OUR FREEDOM OVER.

I’m from the UK, but I’m doing my best doing MULTIPLE POSTS FOR AWARENESS BECAUSE I CARE. BECAUSE IT COULD END UP AFFECTING ALL OF US.

IF YOU’RE NOT IN THE US, SPREAD AWARENESS AND NEWS. IF YOU’RE IN THE US BUT A CHILD, TELL YOUR PARENTS TO CALL UP OR SEND A TEXT. MAKE EVERYONE AWARE. FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT OF SPEECH, FREEDOM, INFORMATION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,

PROTECT OUR FANDOMS!

Please reblog this as fast as you can

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, CHANCES ARE YOU GO ON THE INTERNET EVERYDAY. THE FCC IS NOW PLANNING ON REPEALING NET NEUTRALITY. THIS MEANS THAT POPULAR WEBSITES WILL RUN SLOWLY UNTIL YOU PAY AN EXTRA FEE. WE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF USING WEBSITES AND RESEARCHING FOR FREE. 

TEXT ‘RESIST’ AT 50409 AND TELL YOUR SENATORS THAT NET NEUTRALITY NEEDS TO STAY.

Even when I'm not an american, I do care for what happens! If that affects US, it can affects all the internet!

hey, 13-15 yr old fans in the stranger things fandom are allowed to find people their own age attractive. you guys are fine. its the adults that arent ok. they shouldnt be attracted to kids.
