Damn
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:
IMPORTANT ADDITION BY @bitterblueskies - THE CORRECT TIMES ARE 11pm (16th) CENTRAL time and 10pm (16th) MOUNTAIN time.
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.
{EDIT} THIS IS APPARENTLY ALSO A COMMON QUESTION A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE:
Why logging back on the day after is important:
Logging back on the day after shows that we aren’t just completely ditching them and there’s still a chance for them to improve and make changes, but that day of lost revenue for them (less people on the site to click on and view ads for a day = lost money) still shows that we’re unhappy with what they’ve done. I hope this helped explain it!
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.
How to protest 101
Alright, so like 99.9% of us, I will be logging off of Tumblr because of the porn ban. So, before you log off, remember some key details
Log off for 2-7 days, not just one. If everyone logs out for one day, the revenues will not be that damaged. It will barely leave a dent. Logging off for an extended period of time could cause more of an economic nightmare
Do not delete the app. Considering that Apple removed it (causing this in the first place), it will be very difficult to get back if deleted
Make noise elsewhere. If we only log out, then next to no impact is made. Express the anger on other platform, like Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. If we say how fucked up this is, it will gain momentum. Sure, the execs may not realize it, but millions of others will. If big enough, then we might get noticed
If worst comes to worse, there are other platforms for content. To be honest, there is a high chance that this could fail. If it does, there are other places to post on. For art and photos, places like Instagram, deviantart, and other places are the best option. Videos? Youtube may be possibly dying, but it is still a great place to post videos. Fanfiction? Ao3, fanfiction.net, even the dreaded wattpad exist for this purpose. Just remember, there is a place to post that are not just here.
Finally DO NOT GIVE UP. It may take months, even years to make them realize that the adult band is bad. That Nazis and bots will still exist after this. That they can remove the kiddie porn and the bots in a manner that does not leave millions of artists without a job. But during this time, DO NOT STOP speaking out against this. If it becomes a lost cause, then the band may never be lifted
Thats all folks. Yes, I relize how cringy this may be, but I need to get this out before I go AWOL for a week or more. In the meantime, goodbye everyone and see you soon.
