HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE DURING THE 4CHAN RAID
Simply, I’m sick of all the crap 4Chan is putting the Tumblr commmunity through right now, and I think everyone else is as well.
They add rape, gore and porn images to the most common tags, because they think triggering people and causing them to inflict harm upon themselves is entertaining. That’s right guys, hilarious.
They’re planning to hack accounts on top of that.
Thankfully, many of these issues can be remedied if we can work together.
1. CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.
This should speak for itself. With the account hacking and everything, make sure you change your password quickly for obvious reasons. You should tell your followers also that if porn, gore or whatever else starts getting posted, it isn’t your doing.
2. THE NEXT 4CHAN RAID IS SET TO BE THE 20TH OF JULY.
On this day, the 4chan members have planned to unleash their tsunami of shock images onto the trending tags. Thankfully, this can be solved if we work together. Make sure you clear those tags of 4chan’s doing by posting the stuff that you SHOULD expect to find there.
3. STAY AWAY FROM TAG SEARCHING.
Be cautious. You don’t know what to expect, and if any of it triggers you, it won’t be pretty.
4. IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF SUICIDAL ATTEMPTS, THOUGHTS ETC, STAY AWAY FROM THE SITE.
This is simply for your own personal safety. Even if you follow step 3, there’s a chance a blog you follow will be hacked and you will see shock and trigger images pasted all over your dashboard. No one on Tumblr wants to see that happen, and they especially don’t want you getting hurt.
5. TURN OFF ANON ASKS AND ALL FORMS OF SUBMISSIONS.
Shock images, viruses and whatever the hell else have been reported to have been sent through asks and submissions. If you see something suspicious, ignore, block and report immediately, don’t respond to it in any way. Turn off anon asks and submissions to make sure it doesn’t wind up in your inbox.
6. DO NOT PROVOKE 4CHAN USERS IN ANY WAY.
THIS WILL ONLY MAKE THE 4CHAN VS TUMBLR WAR EVEN WORSE.
7. DON’T POST ANY SELFIES WHATSOEVER.
You wanna know what 4Chan are doing with them? They are editing them onto pornography, even if the person in the selfie is underage. THIS IS ILLEGAL, IF YOU SEE IT, REPORT IT TO THE AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY.
8. BE WARY OF ANY LINKS.
4Chan is also planning to replace the links to suicide hotlines with links to images of committing suicide, which is the opposite of what a hotline masterpost is supposed to do. Some links have also been edited to send out a virus. Stay away from links altogether if you want to be totally safe.
9. SIGNAL BOOST THIS. A LOT.
THE LAST THING WE NEED IS TO SEE ANYONE BEING HURT BY 4CHAN’S ACTIONS. SIGNAL BOOST THIS, SHARE THIS AND REBLOG THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN AND COULD SAVE A LIFE.
IMPORTANT
THIS IS NO JOKE- PLEASE! If not for you- then for your followers! There are people of all ages here and most of this is extremely wrong and illegal regardless! Don’t let this warning go unheard!!!
To all my followers, I am turning off anon asks until this has passed. I am deeply sorry, but it’s not like I get many asks. I suggest you to turn off anonymous asks, as well, and follow these directions like a law, For your own safety. Take care.
I will be turning off anon asks and submissions for as long as i need to and encourage you to all do the same. Also follow every single step to make sure you stay safe.
Turning off anon and going inactive for the 20th-22nd
Even if this might be one of the not funny jokes that you can find here on this site often, I’ve turned off the anon-function and submissions. I’ve no intention to awake any memories I worked to forget so hard the past years.
Anon is already off, I won’t be on my account on the 20th-22nd (great idea @jagged-jasper). God, I hope everyone stays safe.
im turning off asks and submissions and i will be gone from the 20th to the 22nd
I will be active and here for anyone who needs access to those hotline links but are afraid of 4chan fucking it up. I’ll try to help in anyway I can.
I heard it was extended to the 26th, spread this like wildfire, don’t do anything stupid, and DON’T TRY TO RAID THEM BACK PLEASE.
