tumblr? more like... not worth it
It's Rita. We're done here for now
I'm sure everyone's heard by now that something's happened at least so I'll try keep it short [lie]. This post is a rough explanation and not a defense, if mutuals want to add evidence of what I claim then please do so, I will have a note to friends at the end, feel free to skip to that ๐งก๐ค
I got terminated on predstrogen due to mass false reports about sexually explicit content, I had evidence of these mass false reports, and when I asked support for help they stated "As you know, you posted sexually explicit content and additionally harrassed people"
My issue isn't with the account termination, it's the double standard around it
I've had multiple accounts. The first (madhopz) was terminated for content on sideblogs when I was doing sex work and I know I won't get it back. The second (sadhopz) was targetted by lolcow forums, and took half a year to get back, only once I humiliated myself to support by screenshotting and documenting what they were saying about me and sharing images of me. The third (predstrogen) I mentioned and I'll get back to, but I was never emailed to explain why the fourth (Avewy/Predesterone) was terminated. All we know is that it was right after the CEO got upset with me, I broke no rules and said no one should attack anyone, I posted no explicit content, none.
A man twice my age and worth $400,000,000 threatened to call the cops on a trans woman online, and then deleted me when I mentioned this
To add insult to injury, he refused to call me "she" the entire time, referring to me as "they" and backpedalling to vaguely refer to me as The Account. I'm a fucking person, and you know that by threatening to pin the cops on me. Eventually even slipping and calling me "it" before respecting the womanhood of the person he would gladly talk about and "make an exception for"
My complaint to his post was that he says I was banned for harrassment, which is a lie. I was banned for mass false reports of sexual content, despite having been told by staff directly a month prior that my blog does not break that rule, and have had people admit to collaborating on reports. But my biggest issue is that even if I was banned for harrassment, then what did they do about my own harrassment?
They did fuck all and told me my stalkers should not be removed from Tumblr
After banning me without a reason, I immediately got an email back about harrassment and stalking that I sent a support ticket about in December. They banned me twice before looking into this, and their conclusion was "we won't do a thing". These are people who have been on my ass all of last fucking year calling me a rapist and a pedophile, and they ignored it. Does that sound like a man who cares about harrassment on his site, or only when it happens to him?
After the ban on Predstrogen and I moved to Avewy, they were everywhere. Inbox messages claiming I was sending asks to children threatening to rape them, anonymous people stating they're our victim and are scared to speak out about what I did to them. It all only happened now. They've turned a blind eye and given these people a win. I saved it all in an #archive tag as proof if I was ever asked or got through to support, but that didn't happen when i was terminated without warning or reason
When Matt deleted me himself, he deleted everything I posted and saved as evidence for my situation. Anonymous asks slandering me, reblogs of people organising to get rid of me, my own documentation of what staff did, all of it was deleted with @avewy/@predesterone.
I don't want to be on this site anymore, I was happy all day today because I feel free without it. But I miss my accounts, because of all the memories with them. I don't want to use them, but I want @madhopz, @predstrogen, and @predesterone back so that all the times ive had with friends, lovers and strangers arent completely eradicated. Every single thing uploaded to Predstrogen is gone and marked mature now, even my face and identity, because this was a sexual content ban and not harrassment as they say. They found another reason after the fact
Give me my identity and my memories back
To all my friends and mutuals, thank you. Even people I've had falling-outs with have been nothing but kind and I want everyone to know I appreciate it. I saw every ask before deletion, I see how many people are on Discord. I can't keep up, but knowing you reached out at all means the world to me
I was happier today off this site than I have been in months. I'm not driving myself to breakdowns anymore by being on here, my mental and emotional state has been in ruins. Maybe I'll come back on this account, but for now I'm leaving it blank and still and moving on.
This post is incredibly meandering and too long, but I'm not trying to defend myself or document everything, I'm trying to make sure I say something to people I care for instead of disappearing, you deserve it. I'm doing well, please find me elsewhere.

Goodnight, thank you ๐งก๐ค
it's annoying that all domestic technology development is painted as being 'trying to compete with' or 'catch up to' the west. obsessed. actually industry is developed because it's useful mostly lol, which is also more obvious where (in many cases) the domestic industry is significantly more advanced than the western industry now, but is still said to be 'catching up to' the west. like the NASA hasn't had a sample return in, what, 50+ years, and chang'e programme returning samples is somehow 'trying to compete with NASA' .... You're in the dust! rear-view mirror! it's not a space race just because *you* are desperately trying to catch up! case in point: having a 3000x better chip is 'scrambling to catch up to' the west??
im sorry but you can stop trying to explain to me in anon asks how exactly you think the puritan and transmisogynist harrassment campaign against a large group of people including predstrogen is somehow actually justified which apparently makes it "not harrassment", even if i agreed with your stupid puritan takes and with painting random transfems as evil deviants or whatever it'd still be a harrassment campaign for christs sake
even if you personally just calmly voiced your opinion in a nice way doesn't mean we haven't received hundreds of death threats and massive pedojacketing campaigns as well as harrassment of random unrelated users
it literally doesn't matter if predstrogen is pure evil, and I don't know her at all and we have never interacted. I know literally nothing about her and I don't care in the context of this specific issue. the point is the systemic persecution and the "rules for thee but not for me" type shit that is observably happening to trans women.
i worry that wider tumblr is gonna do that thing where a joke gets divorced from its context and this situation is going to go from being known as "tumblrs horrific transmisogyny and the ceos childish response" to just "haha the ceo had a meltdown about a loony tunes esque post"
my partner doesnโt use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like โgood morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearestโ and he will reply โhello adrianโ
As a trans person who pays the bills hawking my Patreon on this site, Photomatt's behavior has been disappointing to say the least. I hope staff can come to a more reasonable conclusion.
I think I speak for everyone when I say we would appreciate some insight and transparency into the content moderation systems.
Having a blog you've run for 7+ years nuked out of nowhere, with no communication, reason, or recourse beyond navigating a maze of broken automated systems, is pretty frustrating. I can't really blame users for saying some TOS-breaking shit, because sometimes it feels like the only way to communicate with staff here is publicly.
Matt for the love of God stop fucking posting and talk to your PR team.
matt is supposed to be on fucking sabbatical rn. the last time he refused to log off and caused problems swinging his dick around was on the wordpress.org twitter hawking a fundraiser for his birthday and claiming that as founder he didn't need to get permission fr marketing or otherwise worry about not offending people. this time he promised everyone at automattic he'd actually take a break (and become a chess grandmaster in 3 months, which, whatever, dumb techbro ego bs). instead he logged back in almost immediately, berated one of the apps teams publicly, refused to log off, then did a bunch of blog posts and interviews saying shit ranging from "Capitalism is, as Nicholas Stern says, the best way to take care of people we donโt know." through "essentially [queer or Black groups are] tribes or identities that separate us. And so part of me really identifies with Martin Luther King being, I want my children judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin."
i am, thank fucking everything, no longer working for him, and yet. i quit before leadership could force my lead to fire me. a disproportionate amount of queer people have been fired or forced to leave in the last year, bc he has personally been sending messages pressuring all leads to pick a "weak link" and going on about culture fit in ways that are fucking loaded. and then there's the exodus of ex-leads who have been saying clearly that they quit instead of being forced to fire people, and the whole team of quality engineers that was axed late last year (oh but it's not a layoff, they all magically had bad performance despite great individual performance reviews, one of them being on parental leave, and all of them being blindsided), and so on and so on...
honestly it fucking sucks bc for a long time i was able to say, despite matt personally being behind half the bad ideas that have plagued tumblr in the last few years, that i think automattic was still doing a better job than most other companies who could afford to take on a liability like tumblr would do. and i thought that about wordpress.com too, and kept recommending it bc automattic's ethics were at least marginally better than most companies in the same space not built on open source. there were people i knew who were working on the transmisogynist moderation issue, but [gestures] decisionmakers have decided they're selling tumblr data (including private data!) to midjourney instead of doing anything but doubling down i guess. now that matt's weighed in it's not gonna get better. the queer staff remaining have used what leverage they had in every way possible and stopped being listened to a long time ago. support staff are paid far too little for what they deal with. i get messages from my ex-colleagues regularly because they're all trying desperately to jump ship. anyway usually i think people are misguided in putting the blame for corporate decisions directly at the feet of the figurehead ceo but in this case he is genuinely detested and keeps personally making the worst decisions and doubling down on them
love every trans woman you meet before its too late
wait a minute
did the fucking ceo of tumblr threaten to call the police on me?
you are not ever fucking safe if you are a trans woman online

idk how i feel about this mob vote or like. specifically people's views on it? like why are you guys supporting the unicorn (rarer breed than blue axolotl and not even rideable???) and not haggis when we get THREE new crops with the haggis AND what looks like a pulley/mountain climbing system?
happy pride tumblr! to celebrate the new season, i offer you my design for the official tumblr pride flag:
always relevant
now this has to be the new funniest mask off moment iโve ever seen. when youโre in a making the transandrophobia movement look bad contest and your opponent is a transandrobro
PSA: y'all I don't Know who needs to hear this but are you normal about normalizing it louder for the people in the back
Sometimes I'll lose my mind over how gay portal is as a series and fall in love with it again
