This is going to be my last post before I log off for the December 17th protest.

In case you aren’t aware of what I’m talking about (even though I’ve reblogged about it a lot), basically a large amount of users are going to be participating in a protest against Tumblr’s new policies on the 17th by logging off the site, and not logging back on for a full 24 hours. As you can see in the image above, the protest will be taking place 12 am EST, but here’s the full list in regards to the exact times the protest is taking place in case you need it:

Here’s what you can do to participate in the protest:

DO:

- Close all open instances you have of tumblr (closing all open tabs of tumblr on your browser and closing any instances you have of the app on your phone)

- Pause your queue or set it for a different time so nothing goes up on your blog during the protest.

- While you can (there’s only roughly 5 hours left- maybe less by the time you read this) make your followers aware of the protest and encourage them to participate, too. The more people we have participating the bigger the impact it will have.

- Be vocal and present on other social medias if you have them, and express how you’re participating in the Log Off protest/how you’re angry with Tumblr’s policies and actions on said social medias. This way it won’t just look like a drop off from social media, it’ll make it very clear to staff that we’re protesting because we’re angry with their new policy and their actions.

DON’T:

- Open the tumblr app or open tumblr on your desktop during the protest.

- Continue to reblog/post during the protest, or have posts go up from your queue during the protest.

- Delete your account/blog. This won’t accomplish anything besides making it hard to come back after the protest is over.

And because a lot of people have been curious about it: NO, STAFF AND THE PEOPLE WHO RUN TUMBLR AREN’T JUST GOING TO DELETE TUMBLR BECAUSE WE CHOSE TO LOG OFF FOR A DAY. Their main interest is money, and making a profit off the website. If they deleted the website, all possible profit they could have continued to make from it would be gone, and they’d lose millions, possibly billions of dollars. They wouldn’t do that. Trust me, they wouldn’t.

I’d also just like to add that, in case you couldn’t already infer, I will not be responding to any messages, answering any asks, reblogging, or posting on the 17th while the protest is underway.

Before I go, I’d just like to say in case I don’t end up coming back on Tumblr (if they refuse to revoke their policies I WILL be moving somewhere else. I’ll let you all know where in case I do):

Gentlemen, it’s been an honor being trash with you.

See y’all on Tuesday.

One last time

First the fucking tags, second the purge, then flagging innocent posts and blogs as sensitive, now I can’t even see people’s reblogs on my posts, are you serious @staff @support ???!!!!

This bullshit is going too far, if this hellsite is coming to an end it’s all your fault.

You didn’t act when it was the time but instead chose to do it with a dollar worth of a fucking bot that doesn’t even work when Apple removed the app from the App Store.

And you know what’s worse? If you used the same fucking algorithm to ban nazis, pedos and bullies at least the purge would’ve been a little more useful, because c'mon who the fuck cares about titties and dicks when there are literal terrorists festering this site?

You talk about “a new better tumblr” when all you’re doing is not care and just throw in a malfunctioning bot that doesn’t even flag the right stuff. You can block tags, specific words, photos, videos, but instead of deleting what’s really been bothering the users for all this time you just go for the easy stuff, and you know that the media will talk about this, about “tumblr deleting porn and dirty blogs”, but guess what, I highly suspect that the titles will more likely be “ Tumblr fucks up, again” because that’s what you do, dear staff, you make promises and then throw them into the void with all those blogs that’ve been wrongfully deleted.

You wanna fix stuff? Fix the tags. Fix the filters. Fix the reblogs. Fix your fucking and apparently useless algorithm.

And you wanna know something? If your algorithm works but also deletes other things other than what was meant to flag and purge then it doesn’t work, it’s broken. Don’t take credit for something that works 10% of its meant functionality, and it’s my best guess, because if a thing doesn’t work and you know it then it’s your job as creators to not unleash it, to keep it until it works properly and can do a good job without ruining innocent users’ blogs and experiences.

But instead you opted for the easy option, setting up a malfunctioning bot just to be granted another chance and be seen as hardworking and caretaking under Apple’s angry eyes.

You wanna know what is imperative to succeed in purging tumblr of all that shit? Actually caring about the people that use it every damn day.

And from how things are going? You don’t seem to care very much.

Please reblog this, I want this to fucking reach their headquarters to blow them up. Literally. This shit’s been going on for too fucking long. It’s time for a change.

Anybody who has a tumblr and is jumping ship (a smart decision at this point even IF they back-peddle from this decision)

Make sure you fully deactivate your account before the 17th. Tumblr (and Yahoo as a much bigger entity) are absolutely trying this bullshit to make it appealing to advertisers and marketing.

But for that they need user counts and activity. Stop using tumblr. Actively refuse to post and/or reblog, don’t like posts…don’t even log in (unless you’ve got content that you need/want to save from it or artists that you need to write down alternate media contacts for)

Let them fall upon their own sword.

As you may know, Post it Forward was created to reinforce something Tumblr users had been doing on their own for years: being open, being kind, and offering support. For many people—particularly young people—it has been a safe haven for openly discussing issues that matter, especially issues pertaining to mental health. From Issue Time question and answer segments with licensed psychiatrists to celebrating Mental Health Month year after year, we’ve been committed to talking about things that matter since 2015.

That’s why we’re so excited to honor World Mental Health Day on Wednesday, October 10.

This year we paid homage to the day by partnering with Made of Millions, a grassroots mental health platform, for Seen: A Mental Health Exhibition. Featuring photography of Rose Cartwright by artist Yumna Al-Arashi, the premiere of their short film Mindstory, and incredible AR-enabled work from some hand-picked Tumblr Creatrs (@creatrs), this exhibit aimed to explore how the digital world can keep people from suffering in silence. You can see some of the pictures of the event above.

It’s important to be seen. And we see you, Tumblr. Stay tuned here to @postitforward. We’re going to reblog some posts that speak to mental health and self care all day long. Want to join in the discussion? Tag your posts with #postitforward so it’s easy for the rest of the community to find you and interact.

And remember, there are resources out there if you need them. It’s okay to use any help you can get.

  • Ditch the Label (@ditchthelabel) is one of the largest international anti-bullying projects. It offers free support for anyone who signs up for their community. It’s free, it’s easy, and it’s there for you.
  • It Gets Better (@itgetsbetterproject) gives support for members of the LGBTQ+ community who want it.
  • It’s Ok To Talk is a safe space to share your experiences with mental health, mental illness and wellbeing.
  • And of course, Made of Millions is an amazing new 501c3  grassroots mental health non-profit launching on World Mental Health Day.

Take care of yourself, Tumblr. You deserve it.

Boys and girls of every age Wouldn’t you like to see something strange?
