It's Tumblr rejecting the blaze campaigns that earned this post my reblog. I'm sorry, but I cannot support silencing protests on your platform just because they are against *your* platform. Such a very twitter thing of them to do!

48hr tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has seadily 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

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.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

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!

The concept of plagiarism going from "taking someone else's work and passing it as your own" to now being "anything that you take inspiration from to make your own thing" is killing creativity, I'll fight people on that. Online plagiarism software flag anything similarly formulated as plagiarism, like come on, there isn't 100 ways to give the date of birth and death of someone for example, this is fucking up teenagers mind.

That's how you get kids calling out artists for stealing poses or color palette.
