Hey!!

Got word that apparently someone might be impersonating me on discord?? What the fuck.

Anyways this is my actual discord info. I have ONE DISCORD ACCOUNT and anyone else is not me

Discord still has the "originally known as" feature, so please use that if you get any messages from "me" that are saying fucked up shit or trying to scam you :/

#usual not-active disclaimer but eh #important either way

Have you stimmed today my beautiful butterfly?

i'm a moth actually

#asks #what is this lmao

What happened to all of your google docs links?

turns out docs has plans to join in on the "data-scraping for ai" thing and google sucks anyway, so i took all of my stuff on there down. sorry about that

#asks

Why are you never on this blog anymore?

combo of focusing on climate activism rather than fandom, weird shit in the askbox deterring us from the blog to begin with (it's been a thing since early on in the blog but it's just gotten tiring), not wanting to risk interacting with bl*nkshippers on accident but also not wanting to just rb the same few people over and over, and just generally not finding the blog fun anymore. i feel like that sums it up.

#asks

We aren't very active on this blog anymore, but in light of more and more AI applications data-scraping fanfiction websites, we'll be switching all of our posted fics to only be accessible by registered users. I encourage other fanfiction authors to do the same, since while it doesn't reverse the data-scraping that's already occurred, it'll prevent it from happening in the future.

If we're doing a Tumblr blackout, do you have recommendations for other platforms to use in the meantime?

obviously they're all different from tumblr, but spacehey and neocities are great and while i personally have never used it, i've heard good things about mastodon

#asks #considering mastodon's like The Twitter Alternative i'd rec that for twitter artists and the like anyway #maybe someone's made a submas instance or something #also i made a submas group on spacehey a while back so if anyone wants that lmk

tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has steadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

reverse the recent image viewer update

scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting

let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely

increase efforts against spam / porn bots

make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam

let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time

remove flashing ads, including not accepting blaze campaigns for posts with flashing in them

commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!

(suggestions welcome!)

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

[edit: a 'blackout' is when you don't log in, or interact with the site at all, for [x] amount of time.]

I suggest from the 30th of June.

this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.

i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!

edit: tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.
