I realise this website didnt intend for it to be this way but like. come on. Why is ranked competitive follower base spam reporting the only way to consistently get someone banned I feel like that's the first thing U want to discourage in a social media. we're two years away from having protection rackets on here

Come on now
it was so insane that they even sent this out in 2018 but you know its like staffs current behavior isnt anything new
they had no evidence then with the blogs they terminated & they have no evidence now either so ig its always been your blog gets deleted for "any reason or none at all" when they dont like you for being black or transfem
I will never forgive nintendo for having Lusamine fuse with a pokemon or whatever and turn into this big monster gal and then the game hits you with the battle transition and OH FUCK THERE SHE IS YOU’RE GONNA FIGHT H- [she throws out a pokeball]
fuck yuo fuck you fuck you what was even the POINT
they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically
watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/
QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

okay but seriously what's going on with [tumblr] moderation right now
okay but seriously seriously
Not even in an "I'm outraged" kind of way, in a "genuinely perplexed as to what could be going on behind the scenes to produce these outcomes." I want to stop staring at the shadows on the wall and exit Plato's allegory of the website moderation
genuinely all it wonders as it gets banned multiple times a *day* is. what the fuck is happening to make them respond so actively to kill girls with maybe a hundred followers. why? why *right* now? like *this*. it just cant comprehend the cruelty.
tumblr moderation is two thirds AI and two thirds transmisogyny and 0% anything that isn't at least one of those two

wait so pjackk is the one who gets reinstated
they brought him back for pride month
hundreds and hundreds of transfem accounts have been banned and now staff rub it in by showing us all that they can ban and unban whenever they feel like it. and of all people they choose pjackk? this website really is just horrible
hate it here. really do hate it here. and this is the best place weve got

graphical fidelity in video games has gotten maybe a bit out of hand. i don't think it's inherently unvirtuous to strive for realism or anything, but, like, think of what's actually involved, physically, when your computer works to render all those triangles. your GPU has to expend energy in the form of electricity, and it works so hard at doing this that it gives off excess heat. in the summer, no less! all in service of what? prettier clouds? i turn the graphics down on almost every game lately even though my computer can handle it. i just don't think it's worth heating up my room an extra five degrees so i can see an amazing digital cirrus

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
that’s not the whole flag, now is it
In case anyone's wondering why this post is flagged as mature, it's specifically because—
the reblog above mine got flagged.
None of @manuciruja's two inital additions were rated as mature (and still aren't at the time of writing), but if the reblog chain you see includes the one above, with the screenshot of a Philly Pride flag animation with the likes sitting at 11.9k, the entire post will be flagged as mature, including subsequent reblogs!
Really curious with what prompted the system to home in on this innocuous image specifically, but if you wanted an example for just how ridiculously unreliable the automatic moderation on Tumblr is, I find this one to be a top contender.
When I go to give a post a like with the #trans tag while on mobile now, all colors of the Progress flag are shown: the rainbow colors swirl around the heart first, the other colors (BIPOC, trans, intersex) swirl around the heart a second time.
Here's a screencap of how it appears for me:
Despite being a little late to the party, I was early enough to check where the mature flag originated from, before smadsel deleted their reblogs from their own blog. Not tagging them on purpose, since they probably don't want to be notified about anything surrounding this post any longer, which I understand with how fast the post gained traction, and with how unforeseen this whole debacle is, so let's respect that!
I still was late enough to be able to either deny or confirm how the like animations were handled prior to this post (e.g. only the Philly Pride flag having been used, cycling through multiple flags randomly, picking flags depending on a post's tags, differences between mobile and desktop, etc.), so I can only describe things the way I can see them right now, though plenty of people's testimonies are hinting towards a hotfix on behalf of Tumblr's staff for the animation to now include the entire color range of the Progress flag.
Okay, follow-up!
Did some digging (if you could even call it that, because I found this embarassingly quickly), and, as others had reported, there were multiple possible flag animations for the like button. Which flag would show up depended on the tags used in the liked post!
The Philadelphia Pride flag was probably used when liking posts with the #pride month tag, and while that's a great step up from just the rainbow from the Gay Pride flag, the decision to not include the Trans and Intersex Pride flags' colors stands out in juxtaposition with the increasing visibility of just these demographics in recent years.
I'm willing to bet Tumblr staff saw this post, and ditched the idea of tag-dependent animations in response, having the Progress flag colors play for all posts with queer tags. What I don't know if there was a priority for which flag would play for posts that have multiple queer tags, or if one valid flag was chosen at random.
Huge thanks to @sufferingfrommoodpoisoning for including GIFs of the removed animations in this linked post!
(Found by looking up "like button" in the earch bar. As I said, embarassingly easy...)
With that out of the way,
my goal with these additions was to find answers, present them, and to, ultimately, direct people's attention back towards the point of the original post. This whole thing is the symptom of a greater ongoing problem within Tumblr.
The blogs of trans users are still being mass-reported and auto-deleted, with @staff still not willing to do much of anything to improve matters, as we've seen. If anything regarding the site, let's keep that in mind and act accordingly moving forward!
(That, and what kind of person Tumblr's CEO, Matt Mullenweg, is.)
