For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

Seems like a good idea, worth a try.

For real guys, this is worth a try!

The Tinys are preparing to move to https://www.instagram.com/tinybuckylife/

I might still be around I might not. Tumblr’s new policies and lack of care towards users and the fact that innocuous posts of mine are being flagged means a change is needed. Please drop by some contacts! The tumblr will still remain though! It just won’t be having new content come Dec 17 if things continue as is.

I can understand your wish to leave tumblr from emotional POV. Rationally though...this platform is the best for the lovely content you usually post and there isn't any adequate alternative😣 p.s. Just my luck to join a social media only few months before a massive crisis😫

I know. Sadly there is nowhere else like tumblr where I can do sequential photos in varying sizes, text rambles with photos, reblogs with snarky comments and have the randomness of reblogs to view on my dashboard.

My reasons are to Tumblr this is but Step 1. I don’t want to be around for whatever follows.

And their filter is shitty. I made two completely innocent posts after hearing about it and both got flagged immediately. One is still in content appeal. I specifically time my queues and if things are flagged I have no idea when people will end up seeing them once the blanket ban is in place. I don’t want to put time into posts that will ultimately end up being seen by no one because a computer squinted at my work and saw boobs.

The Future of TinyBuckyLife

Come December 17 I don’t feel there is a point continuing on tumblr. I will keep the tumblr up and it won’t be deleted unless some sitewide purge happens and I’m taken down. I am planning to back up my content and will let you guys know where that ends up being.

This leaves the dilemma of where to go. I did make an Instagram account a while ago but didn’t really post anything to it. It is here:

https://www.instagram.com/tinybuckylife/

I’ve never really used Instagram before and this week is hectic so bear with me while I try and figure out how to use the platform to the best of my ability. Unfortunately from my short use of the platform I find Instagram is probably not the best site for my reviews/rambles/small tutorials. A friend suggested I set up a Facebook page. What do you guys think?

I have heard of Pillowfort but to be honest it sounds a bit sketchy to me and I would like to just find a place I can settle and the platform just seems too new for me to believe in its reliability.

.___. I am not touching Twitter with a ten foot pole. (This is not up for negotiation.)

Also if you yourself have an Instagram and have similar content to me or are someone I already know but have a different name don’t be afraid to pm me.

Tiny Pics for the Tiny Fam (ALSO FLAGGED)

Sorry this is YET ANOTHER post that is not about the Tinys but I like to share the things I’m working on. Today it is some tiny accessories for the Tiny house.

If you don’t know I have an extensive but eclectic collection of Re-ments which are Japanese Miniatures that usually come in small sets. You can buy individual blind boxes which I sometimes do but sometimes it is cheaper just to buy entire sets.

So I do.

I have this set:

Petit Sample - Haikara Taisho Roman Tei

And today we will focus on Set 3: Monokaki wa neru mae no nikka

And recently purchased this:

Moomin Warm House Nuku Nuku Fuyugomori (I know nothing of Moomins and care nothing for them but THIS SET IS SO APPROPRIATE FOR THE SEASON)

Look to Set 4: Danro no soba ni wa

And we measure things. And we select a few photos and we print them.

And we print this (this page is A4 sized):

And we print multiple sizes because measuring accurate in miniature is DIFFICULT. Also sometimes the printer is weird or

Shit happens.

I made the size I thought was accurate and then made sizes smaller and bigger. As you can see from the results it can vary.

Then we find the size that is appropriate.

And we cut them as accurately as possible. A good pair of paper scissors is important. Here is mine:

AND THEN WE HAVE PHOTOS

Don’t worry if they fall out just use a teeeeeny tiiiiinnny bit of blu tak to hold them in place.

BOOM

Verizon is leaving the engine of internet culture to sputter and die, and its communities to scramble for a new home.

A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September, shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.

Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure out how to better monetize.

On that note-

Two former Tumblr employees said they were alarmed when Khalaf chose Black Lives Matter as an example of a community that the company should focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge, “Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to [make] a ton of money.”

For anyone who wants to makes sense of the latest chaos, I HIGHLY recommend reading this article. It has some very insightful things to say on the subject. Because apparently, it’s been a long time coming.

tinybuckylife

OH LOOK IT’S A CASH GRAB AS EXPECTED

:,D nice going staff.

#THIS IS PART OF THE REASON I DON'T EVEN WANT TO STAY #don't reward this #but where to go #disgusting as expected #i hope everyone remaining in the company is proud of themselves #They probably are #on their piles of money #even if their filter worked it would still be chaos #Help I am Furby lady

:,D Guys I queued a post about making custom things for Tinys

AND IT IS ALREADY FLAGGED

._. WHELP

Tiny Bucky on the Exodus

:( This is shit.

I don’t think TinyBuckyLife has any adult content on it and I don’t plan to in future but I’m for people having the ability to have adult content on their blogs. Tumblr are treating their users very poorly and deleting blogs with very little notice or ability to defend themselves. Some of the content that is being censored is not even adult in nature but would appear “weird” to people which is why I think this is just an excuse to make the site more advertiser friendly.

This blog was really meant to be a fun and low energy outlet for me which is why I don’t really have an alternate blog for the tiny life. If I moved I’d have to reupload everything from the start or begin anew. I did make an instagram account under the same name but I haven’t uploaded anything. I liked the community here. :( To be honest I don’t really know where to go if I had to leave.

tinybuckylife

I have https://www.instagram.com/tinybuckylife/ just in case but to be honest I’m not digging instagram’s interface AT ALL
