That moment when you start a sideblog...

But then some of your online friends find it and follow it...

And you haven't posted any of the stuff you started the blog for...

But now you can't...

Help. /j

Not sure who this is, but gonna reblog anyways.

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.

Ah, okay. Yeah, that is pretty dumb. Like, you think they would know that would lead to a bunch of issues.

Important. Please read.

Look, I'm just as sick of hearing about PostPlus as the next user, but I took a look at the post the staff made about the feature.

This feature is optional and...

Along with a reminder that it's optional, people who do choose to use it can pick which posts to put behind the paywall.

So, unless I'm missing something, if you don't monetize your fanfics and fanart, you won't have legal issues.

Yes, I think the feature is dumb and shouldn't exist, and no, I won't be supporting/using it.

But!

It's not the end of the world!

Not trying to sound like reblog bait, but PLEASE reblog this so others see it! I just want people to know that even if the log-out strike doesn't work, it's not the end of the site.

Thank you for reading. I offer you all some cookies in these trying times. 🍪

I'll participate, but...

Isn't PostPlus optional to use? And can't you choose what you put behind the paywall?

So by that logic, just either don't use it at all, or if you do want to, just don't monetize fanfic and fanart. Then you won't get in legal trouble.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think we need to go on strike.

I sure hope people see this. ...

POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time AUGUST 5th, 2021          11 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

[alt-account-ception]

Y'know what, fuck this bullshit. I need to know y'all are actually against it.

Reblog this if you will NOT use or support Post+.

I hope to make @staff see how that is total bullshit. Tumblr will die without writers/creators.

Tumblr: *creates Tumblr+*

[alt-account-ception]

One of the reasons I joined Tumblr was because it was free.

So yeah, I'm not gonna... just...

Sorry if this sounds rude, but Tumblr! You're not EA! Let them do the paywall stuff, we're used to it from them!

Rb if you pinky promise not to join Tumblr+ and won’t hide your content behind a paywall

Possible addition(?): Hating on people because their pfp is Gacha

The more I interact with fandoms, the more I see of this bias hatred that seems to brew within them. Fandoms need to cut it out with this superiority complex they all seem to have. The hatred towards other fandoms, other fandom members, crossovers, etc needs to end.

Your fandom is NO better than any other. It is no worse than any other. The people in it are no better or worse than those in other fandoms.

Your fandom is great. Your fan-made content is great. YOU ARE GREAT.

You are not cancer. You are not autistic (as in the insult, not the actual disorder.). You are not “cringe”. YOU. ARE. WONDERFUL.

Furries, Otaku, Gamers, Undertale fans, FNAF fans, Sonic Fans, Bronies, Pegasisters, etc. All of you are great!

What you make, and do, is wonderful.

Your cosplays, art, fics, muses, sonas, OC, comics, animations, make up, cosplays, etc. It is all wonderful.

Don’t let people who hate on fandoms for no good reason get you down. Don’t feel the trolls. Keep your head held high, and show off your work proudly.

Even those who don’t “make things” contribute to the fandom greatly. Something as simple as a like, note, repost, retweet, comment, and more could make someone’s day. YOU could be the reason someone smiles, and is happy.

Everyone fandom has it’s bad sides. Rabid members. Trolls. Hateful people. Judgmental people. Drama starters. “Creeps”. But, the good people outweigh the bad in my eyes.

Maybe if we all spread love, acceptance, and friendship within out fandoms then the term “fandom” wouldn’t be so hated. Maybe, if we all loved our fellow members, and made our fandoms more welcoming to new members they wouldn’t see us as “Cancer”.

So, the next time you go to call someone “cringe”, go to hate someone’s crossover, go to bash a ship, to make fun of someone, to shame someone’s art…Why don’t you don’t stop to think of something nice to say instead? Leave a like. A heart react. A meaningful comment. Offer assistance. Do a request. Compliment an OC. Read a little of a fic. Give a ship some love. Maybe even make a new friend! Who knows, maybe that person in the other fandom will have more in common with you than you think.

It means a lot to the people in your fandom, and others.
