btw its probably obvious to most people but just in case, any account messaging or tagging you with the tumblr logo as their icon and a name like "blog updater" is a new phishing scam, dont click anything

[manuciruja]

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?

[manuciruja]

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

[smadsel]

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.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.

[lifesgrandparade]

Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

i get this now and it won't let me click through to any 'mature' blogs :(

Every case of sapphic true love is a romance between a Pink and a Purple and if ur curious what I mean, you can watch utena (the relationship from the Pink's perspective) or pmmm (the relationship from the Purple's perspective)

bigots can now reblog your selfie or personal post, mock it, and block you, and if you don't see it the second it happens, it can spread to thousands of their ilk with literally no possible way for you to know, unless you happen to be on one of their blogs and come across it. are you comfortable with this? i know i'm not.

[mutationgirl]

good news is my outdated mobile version still works fine. really awesome platform when a months out of date revision works objectively better than the most recent

[mutationgirl]

hang on. if my months outdated mobile app still allows me to properly sort thru notes on post. does that not imply they’re handling this change pretty much entirely frontend and just hiding/not loading the truncated parts of the chain?

[gremlingirlsmell]

the long awaited sequel to "what the hell looks this website's backend like": "this website frontend must be insane too"

[asexualbrigadier]

big shout out to tumblr for being the first major site in like two years to implement an ill-advised "feature" nobody wants, likes or respects that doesn't involve AI

[parasitoidism]

posts that have 10k notes if you take the time to add up the number of likes, replies and reblogs across 4 different sub-posts to me

Hell yeah, this rules! I love it!

Not the best, but still really good!

It's okay, I guess. Could be worse.

I have no opinion one way or the other.

It's not great. I really don't care for it.

This sucks! I demand a respin!

NOOOOOOOO!!!
