#log off protest

[incorrect-states-quotes]

Hi all! :) In light of recent events (PostPlus), I'd like everyone to know that this blog will NEVER be pay to read. Hopefully Tumblr realizes how fucking idiotic of a move this is and cancels the addition, but to make this happen, I'd like to forward a message:

On August 6th, there will be a log-out protest against PostPlus. No posting, no reblogging, no likes, nothing.

Log out on August 6th at 12 AM EST (Aug 5th @ 9 PM PST) for the whole day. I will be participating and I very much recommend you all do so as well. A lot of fanworks are on Tumblr, and a lot of fanfic authors link their Ko-Fi or Patreons on Tumblr, since it's against AO3 terms of service to have your donation link in your profile. Without Tumblr, a lot of these artists will have difficulty finding another site so they can get an income. (Writing/creating fanworks for money can get you sued! We're looking at you, Anne Rice.)

So please, join me and millions of other users and log out in protest of Post Plus.

THE BOTS HAVE ADAPTED THEIR CONTENT TO BE SFW

TUMBLR JUST WIPED OUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEIR USERBASE FOR A SOLUTION THAT DIDN’T EVEN WORK

YOU SEE THIS @staff

One last thing before I go:

Tumblr is now back on the App Store, so go give it one (1) star.

We won’t be around on Tumblr tomorrow as we’re joining in the “Log Off” Protest in response to the adult content ban coming into play on December 17th.

We’ll be back on the 18th with posts as usual and we’ll still be posting to our other social media, including Pillowfort (username “AlphaBetaGamer”).

The Log Off protest will last 24 hours isn’t about burning Tumblr to the ground (at least not for us anyway), it’s just a way of letting those higher up know that they’re making a mistake. The loss of ad revenue for that 24 hours will hopefully get that message across.

If you’d like to join in the protest then just don’t post or open the Tumblr app for 24 hours (starting 12 AM EST December 17th). 

If you don’t want to join in, that’s cool too - the whole reason Tumblr is the best social media platform is that people are/were free to express themselves however they like. After December 17th, Tumblr will still be a great social media platform, it’ll just be a little less great.

Please also be courteous to the hard-working (and genuinely helpful) Tumblr staff during this time - they only have to enforce the ban, they’re not the ones who decided to implement it.

Hope you all have a great December 17th. Will see you on the 18th. :)

Log off protest bitches!!!

It's doubtful this will actually do anything or get the staff to change their mind but I still think it's worth it to show what you think. I'm definitely going to be doing it.

Please either share this or post the image yourself. I think that we should get as many people as possible involved.
