Tumblr Decides to Emulate Twitter; Throws Impartiality Under the Bus -

  • Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Looking into some solutions.

Well, pretty much everyone saw this coming, but here goes.

For the uninitiated, Twitter's been in the pocket of SocJus for a while, and Tumblr's been the central nest of it for some time, but as of this year, Tumblr's been bleeding support and factions willing to punch Tumblrista talking points in the face (and generally make the site suck less) have arisen, which finally came to a head this week, when Tumblr apparently deleted two accounts for the crime of going against Social Justice: DontNeedFeminism and Logicd.

Neither account had been harassing or responsible for attacking anyone, but, even had they been? This is Tumblr. They didn't do shit about any of the countless confirmed SJW harassers. We've got accounts that doxx people and set up organized harassment attacks IRL and Tumblr's staff takes weeks to do anything about it, if they ever do.

Discuss.

So wait, what changed?
It's not a public service, it's a private company, if they want to ban things and suck up to the side who posts non stop, it's on them. Same with the loss of any form of respect outside of it's little circle.

We all saw it coming as you said, but die is cast and all that.

If you don't like tumblr (and who does) don't use it. And if you have to use it to attack it, block as much in the way of advertising as possible.

Get off it. Quit supporting it.

Let it turn into the toxic waste dump it is meant to be and watch it die, slowly or quickly.

I personally don't know how anyone could ever stand to use tumblr. I have always hated it, and that's well before I associated it with tumblr SJWs or even knew what those were. Considering I first heard about them from /pol/ tier bitches, I assumed they were just spazzing out about nothing as usual.

But tumblr is just ugly. Its user interface is almost incomprehensibly atrocious, almost any tumblr site is an insult to the eyes, and the way it's put together makes content completely unreadable. You have these stupid little tweet-length posts, followed by hundreds of lines of nothing but reblogs and zero content shit like that.

How does anyone stand to use this?

Let them rot in their heresy.

Let it die.

Logicd getting banned is pretty funny, he trolled hard and the SJW crowed has been spamming reports against him for a long time now. i suspect that they may have gotten him on some technicality and or someone manufactured evidence against him, that's just a hunch though.

Considering Anita Sarkeesian and George Takei* are megastars on Twitter, you can't be surprised that the service is going to lean SJW.

*No offense to George Takei, he's an awesome dude. But his followers are batshit crazy. These people manage to turn posts about cats in sweaters into discussions about racism and abortion. Every single time.

DontNeedFeminism definitely didn't harass anyone. I'm not so sure about logicd; it's more likely his followers were harassing people.

Tumblr's staff has been pathetically incompetent for years now. I'm just surprised they haven't started banning anti-SJWs sooner, what with the entire site being plagued by SJWs.

This. Tumblr staff is incredibly lazy when it comes to moderating their own website. Just look at what happened to Communismkills. They were kind of an asshole at times but instead of blocking and ignoring their blog, Tumblrinas decided to doxx her mother, sent the woman death and rape threats, threatened to burn her house down, and allegedly leaked her credit card info. Despite this, Tumblr staff did next to nothing about this.
