Inspired by this post, hereā€™s a graphic and a link roundup:

No new content Sept 1 2017, in protest of Tumblr @staffā€˜s complete lack of effort to take any action to control rampant white-supremacist hate speech on this platform.

If GoDaddy and Google, Discord, and even OKCupidĀ  (and evenĀ Facebook and GoFundMe) can take steps to curb hate, why canā€™t Tumblr? (Users have been complaining for years, itā€™s not like this is a new problem.) Tumblr consistently refuses to enforce its own no-hate-speech policy in this matter.

(Thereā€™s even a lovely write-up of it from this very month: Nazis On Tumblr Are Attempting To Make White Supremacy Hip.) (Thereā€™s a change.org petition about it too, which has a nice write-up of exactly how much absolutely-nothing Tumblr @staff are willing to do about egregious hate speech.) (No, Iā€™m not involved with either of those links, nor the original post Iā€™m referecing above, I just thought Iā€™d Google it before I made a graphic. I know very little about this but it all seems pretty gross, now doesnā€™t it.)

Iā€™m posting this now, then Iā€™ll put it in my queue on the 1st and have that be the only thing that posts on that day (for those of us who canā€™t shut our queues down easily, thatā€™s a solution). And then, no posts, no replies, no chats, no inbox, no messages, no visits to the site for the duration of the 1st in my timezone.

[Image description: On a blue background, white bold text says:Ā ā€œ9/1/17 Tumblr Strike: This blog is posting no new content to protest Tumblrā€™s unwillingness to take action against white nationalist hate speechā€]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

And for people who are wondering about timezone, Iā€™m suggesting that since the Tumblr office is in New York, we use that timezone.

(And to everyone believe Iā€™m so naive as to think a one-day boycott will stop it – cā€™mon. I know that. Iā€™m trying to bring attention to this very serious issue, thatā€™s it.)

Iā€™ll be joining in with the site-wide boycott tomorrow, just FYI. Letā€™s try to hit @staff where it hurts – in the ad revenue – and if we canā€™t do that, letā€™s stand together and show nazi fuckwits that they have no place here.
