The head of Tumblr is having a meltdown and a feud with a trans artist

pseudorandom name
May 6, 2007

specifically the CEO of Tumblr is using his unrestricted access to the Tumbr user database to harass Tumblr users

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
the ceos point is that the user is lying about why they were getting in trouble with tumblr for content. the summaries on twitter - because i’m not going to look for all this poo poo - suggest that trans people are being told to take in-transition pictures down. the user says this is what’s happening, the ceo said no it’s the pictures you put on these accounts instead.

i’m don’t know who’s at right (and the ceo is a known prick aiui) and i don’t particularly care but the twitter msg was pretty lol

also lol are a bunch of users acting like they can now sue the ceo for some privacy violation or some nonsense

those accounts he listed were empty and had no images, inappropriate or otherwise, on them
one of the tumblr "things" is to have joke names to use when replying to posts
screenshots of these sometimes make the rounds, like that one where cocklover3001 is replying to cocklover3000

The CEO may be an rear end in a top hat but it's ok to cyberbully someone with the username "furryvore-burps" so I say let them sort it out one-on-one.

the most generous read of the situation is that the ceo is personally defending the site against inaccurate charges of censorship, which is still really loving stupid. there was a good thread about it by someone who does t&s professionally which made the point that you just have to let this stuff go — no matter how in the right you are, there’s nothing to be gained from dragging it out in public. this is part of why it’s extremely important for the real t&s people to have a safe outlet where they can rant to each other about their entitled rear end in a top hat users, so that they default to only doing it there instead of making their frustrations part of their personality

in the best light even if he were 100% correct it looks bad lol

at best this should have been like a blog post or press release if they had to say something at all

somehow i ended up having forums mod as a job responsibility

usually, totally fine, just gotta tell people they’re off-topic about once a day. sometimes just the absolute worst

i absolutely do not envy the people who have to do this on a forum with more than a few hundred posts a day of traffic, or that isn’t tied to people’s jobs in a way that keeps them mostly in line
