Tips for the āLog Offā Protest
So December 17th is the āLog Offā Protest, to protest Tumblrās new ban on nsfw content, and the horribly incompetent way theyāve attempted to implement this new ban. But many of us have the tumblr app, and mindlessly open it without thinking. Others have queues going and cannot pause them (which would be a cool xkit feature, hint hint), so hereās some tips Iāve gathered to help make this protest as effective as we can!
donāt actually delete the app from your devices. since it isnāt on the app store, it will be extremely difficult to get back (if you so choose)
you donāt have to actually physically log off, just as long as you donāt visit the site or the app. if logging off makes it easier to avoid tumblr then, like. go for it lmao
if you mindlessly click on the tumblr app (or are worried you will), then move the app somewhere where it isnāt easily accessible, like the second page of a folder. out of sight, out of site, right?? ahahahaā¦ ahem, sorry
if you are like me and continuously fill up your queue to itās max amount, you have limited options and none of them are great.Ā
you can delete every post from your queue, which sucks. especially if you are like me and keep your queue filled, because I have 279 posts in my queue and deleting them all just to retag them and draft them would be Hell
OR, if your queue auto-posts more than once a day, you can change it to once a day. maybe even set it to post at like? 1am or something? which still sucks but itās less of a hassle and more effective than doing nothing, right? right.
donāt just go dark on all social media! posting on other websites show tumblr and the company that owns it (Verizon, I think??) that what they are implementing is Extremely Not Good, and that the decrease of activity is ONLY on tumblr, so itās clear what is the cause of the decrease. If you can, make sure to mention anywhere else you post that you are posting there instead of tumblr because of the protest, like using the twitter hashtag #logoffprotest, or something idk
the protest starts at 12am EST, which means 9pm PST. (If you donāt know what time that means for you, or what timezone you are in, google it to be sure). That means me in California, for instance, will actually begin the protest at 9pm on the 16th. This also means that the protest ends at 9pm on the 17th, but just because Iām weird and petty, Iām not going to log in again until 9am on the 18th
thatās all the tips I have for yāall, so good luck protesting and letās cross our fingers for tumblr changing their mind! Otherwise, Iāll hopefully see everyone again, on some better, maybe even bluer, websiteā¦ā¦ lmao
