It seems some things are being deflagged here- or at least two that I’ve been notified of. It may be mock reposting those that have been?
Either way I’m not posting any new work here right now (honestly I’m not sure if I’ll post any art here for a bit) so I apologize if the mess causes anything that seems like a repost.
So, apparently anything that was flagged is now unflagged, though I only got email notice of two. Even the posts I didn’t report as flagged (the mermaids) are unflagged so I have the feeling they moderated the first two and then were like ‘screw it, unflag them all’. Which.. yeeep. Good process there.
Anything that was reported and unflagged got moved up to the top of my page, at least off of my dashboard. So you’ll be re-seeing some old things it seems. However if I didn’t report it and it was unflagged then it’s not up there.
The only flag left I could see on a quick scroll was a reblog which claims the original is still flagged.. even though it’s not.
So the good news is that it is less likely that I will be banned on the 17th. But likewise Tumblr has shown it’s colors and who know what really is next?
I don’t, but that is a good thought! I’ll probably start one soon and post here when it’s up and running. Thanks for your kind words about my work, it means a lot! 🙂
now that having basically any image in your posts places you at risk of getting flagged for “sensitive content” by the new algorithms, we’re just going have to start posting our reaction images in text format
I think the real problem here is that big media corporations seem to believe that social media userbases are fungible, and persist in acting on this belief no matter how many times it’s demonstrated to be wrong.
There’s a specific pattern of events that plays out over and over (and over) again, and it looks something like this:
1. Social media platform becomes popular
2. Social media platform is purchased by big media corporation in order to gain access to it large user base
3. Big media corporation realises that social media platform’s demographics are not the demographics they want to sell things to.
4. Big media corporation institutes measures to drive away “undesirable” users, apparently in the honest belief that the outgoing users will automatically be replaced by an equal number of new, more demographically desirable users
5. This does not, in fact, occur
6. Social media platform crashes and burns
You’d think that, by the sheer law of averages, at least one person who’s capable of learning from experience would become involved in this whole process at some point.
You are still going to be here after the change. If your characters and relationships you’ve made on this shit storm of a site, is too important to abandon.
Yes to this. We need to stand and oppose this. Please consider participating in the log off protest on December 17, let them see the numbers drop.
can we stop romanticising pushing ourselves to the limit cause I want to stop feeling like I have to not sleep and not eat to be truly productive. pls and thank u
Here are a few of the images we’ve posted over the years that Tumblr has now flagged as violating the ban on adult content. We thought you might like to see them one more time in case we lose our appeal and they are permanently deleted.
