jame7t I mean this genuinely: the ceo couldve absolutely just gotten away with this still right after the c/a/r h/a/m/m/e/r posting saga if he just stayed on vacation. Following a woman to a second website (AFTER SHE SAID SHE WAS DONE WITH THIS ONE) and continuing the drama, blaming her for being banned (when the crux of the issue wasn't even the bans, it was the repeated harassment staff did nothing about!) I seriously don't think he realizes how much this undermines this platform and staff. Like, dude, come on. "If you don't like it, leave!" Is not a good response, especially if you're going to follow her to a different site anyway and personally bother her. He's even complained about receiving death threats- and death threats are bad! It's bad to have death threats sent to you. So why is it ok when they're sent to her? Like that was the issue. THAT was the issue. And from all his posting it seriously seems like he doesn't get that. The time to own up to s--- and apologize was a few days ago at this point. This is putting a lot of really bad behaviors on display in front of two websites now.

A message from a few of the trans staff at Tumblr & Automattic (from Offical Tumblr Staff Account)

staff ♥ A message from a few of the trans staff at Tumblr & Automattic: We want trans people, and LGBTQ+ people broadly, to feel welcome on Tumblr, in part because we as trans people at Tumblr and Automattic want it to be a space where we ourselves feel included. We want to feel like this is a platform that supports us and fights for our safety. Tumblr is made brighter and more vibrant by your presence, and the LGBTQ+ folks who help run it are fighting all the time for this, for you, internally. A few days ago, Matt Mullenweg (the CEO of Automattic, Tumblr's parent company) responded to a user's ask about an account suspension in a way that negatively affected Tumblr's LGBTQ+ community. We believe that Matt's response to this ask and his continued commentary has been unwarranted and harmful. Tumblr staff do not comment on moderation decisions as a matter of policy for a variety of reasons-including the privacy of those involved, and the practicalities of moderating thousands of reports a day. The downside of this policy is that it is very easy for rumors and incorrect information about actions taken by our Trust & Safety team to spread unchecked. Given this, we want to clarify a few different pieces of this situation: • The reality of predstrogen's suspension was not accurately conveyed, and made it seem like we were reaching for opportunities to ban trans feminine people on the platform. This is not the case. The example comment shared in the post linked above does not meet our definition of a realistic threat of violence, and was not the deciding factor in the account suspension. • Matt thereafter failed to recognize the harm to the community as a result of this suspension. Matt does not speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ people who help run Tumblr or Automattic, and we were not consulted in the construction of a response to these events. • Last year, the "mature" and "sexual themes" community labels were erroneously applied to some users' posts. An outside team of contractors tasked with applying community labels to posts were responsible for this larger trend of mislabeling trans-related content. When our Trust & Safety team discovered this issue (thanks largely to reports from the community), we removed the contracted team's ability to apply community labels and added more oversight to ensure it does not happen again. In the Staff post about this, LGBTQ+ staff pushed to be more transparent but were overruled by leadership. The termination of a contractor mentioned in the original ask response was for an unrelated incident which was incorrectly attributed to this case. We regret that the mislabeling ever happened, and the negative impact it has had on the trans community on Tumblr. • Transition timelines are not against our community guidelines, and weren't a factor considered by the moderation team when discussing suspensions and subsequent appeals. We do not take action against content that is related to transitioning or trans bodies unless it includes violations of the Community Guidelines. • When it comes to the experience of trans folks on Tumblr encountering transphobic content, and interacting with bigoted users, we understand and share your frustrations. Tumblr's policies, and Automattic's policies, are written to ensure freedom of speech and expression. We prohibit harassment as defined in our Community Guidelines, but we know that this policy falls short of protecting users from the wider scope of harmful speech often used against LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people. Going forward, Tumblr is taking the following actions: Prioritizing anti-harassment features that will empower users to more effectively protect themselves from harassment. • Building more internal tooling for us as Staff to proactively identify and mitigate instances of harassment. • Reviewing which of the tags frequently used by the trans community are blocked, and working to make them available next week. We're sorry for how this all transpired, and we're actively fighting to make our voices heard more and prevent something like this from happening again in the future. We know firsthand that having to deal with situations like this as a Tumblr user is difficult, particularly as a member of an already frequently targeted and harassed community. We know it will take time to regain your trust, and we're going to put in the work to rebuild it. We appreciate the space we have been given to express our concerns and dissent, and we are thankful that Matt's (and Automattic's) strong commitment to freedom of expression has facilitated it. We will continue to fight to make Tumblr safe for us all. - This statement was authored by multiple trans employees of Tumblr and Automattic. #announcements #transgender #trans rights #trans

Excellent work sire you’ve reached new depths of spinelessness and ineptitude

juniepops Incredibly intelligent maneuver by tumblr ceo to make a post that boils down to "if you want to deserve staff looking into preventing your months of harassment as well as explaining why your accounts keep getting scorched-earth deleted when you've made a point to follow TOS, you have to avoid hurting OUR special feelings or we'll call the FBI on you. This is totally not transphobic despite only happening to trans women btw" and then delete the same trans woman's account again. Excellent work sire you've reached new depths of spinelessness and ineptitude

Literally never seen a blog get deleted as hard as they deleted predstrogen.

magicalgirlmindcrank Literally never seen a blog get deleted as hard as they deleted predstrogen. Every image on every post regardless of content just gone. Swear to God staff invents new moderation tools for the people they hire to target trans women with. No reasons, No TOS violations, just f------ voiding a random trans woman instead of any of the thousands of hateful TERF or Nazi blogs. Tumblr REALLY hates transwomen despite the fact that transwomen carry this f------ site. predesterone actually its worse than being banned for no reason, they made up reasons on the spot when i asked about it. when my account got terminated, they said it was for sexually explicit content. when i corrected them saying i was actually cleared by staff and support for this a month ago, they told me: As you know, your account or blog has been suspended for sharing sexually explicit materials and as if "as you know" isnt an insulting enough way to talk to someone when youre being corrected, they threw this in at the end Additionally, your blog was terminated for content that we consider to be harassment, and encouraging or inciting violence. there was no mention of harrassment, theyre simply making s--- up as they go along. even worse that theyve ignored my emails from last year about the harrassment ive faced all of 2023. they can make up a reason to hurt a trans woman, but wont help the trans woman from the same thing shes accused of

foone Packard Bell D Packard Bell I added a new pride flag to VGAPride: it's the Tumblr Pride Flag! This variant is local to Tumblr and was invented sometime since December 17th, 2018, and is used to celebrate your pride in the fact you're a trans woman on Tumblr and are about to get permanently banned for life. Here it's displayed on my Pentium-75mhz running DOS 6.22. (user was banned for this post)
