So, what's the plan girls?

now that we know Tumblr made a deal with the devil AI and might or might not have already have "accidentally" given them more information than they were supposed to?

[it's ostensibly "opt out" but you have to toggle that setting on yourself]

I'm not sure what I'll do yet. It's a shame. I've loved it here.

I might be exporting my blogs and art to other places and logging off in the near future. It's tempting to stay, for all of you.

But the way companies get away with abuse like this is by having users/members/customers who are not willing to give up the services that are offered to protest what is being done. Tumblr wouldn't be able to get away with this if most of us were genuinely willing to leave.

I haven't decided yet. But I'm an artist, so this deeply affects me. What are all of you going to do?

Hey @staff my tumblr app called me the r slur earlier I am not joking

I was scrolling through a tag and all of a sudden one of those little green tumblr banners popped up at the bottom of my screen and it just said "glad ur dog died. re****" and then it disappeared

@staff @tumblr Consider this the first step in our legal battle because I'm sewing you for changing my tumblr to white AND not letting me change it back... Not only is that racist, but it blinded me when I was sleeping. Also I hope your kids fall down and scrap there stupid ugly kid knees and cry. You'll be hearing from my layers shortly.

Okay Tumblr—I’m completely aware that you’re exploiting my greatest weakness with this “blaze your cat” Caturday thing, you tricksy b@stards. I’m not falling for your machinations. I’m consciously and freely choosing to blaze—not one—but two devastatingly handsome felines. Not because I’m falling into your blazing promotion trap. Because I want to.

So, slap your peepers on this, my friends…

Oscar and Oliver.

Deal with it.

Edit: Wait…WTH? Nine bucks just to get a post in front of 5,000 people?

Tumblr, what? That’s outrageous.

What, I should pay you nine hard-earned dollars to put my post out? Heyall no.

No no no no no. Tumblr, you got enough money. I’ll keep my nine bucks and buy my boys all the cat toys instead. Plus the boxes they come in.

Manipulative marketing strategies today. Sheesh.

there’s nothing more infuriating than receiving an email from tumblr staff saying that terf blogs don’t violate their hate speech policy

i don’t support conspiracy thinking but fucking christ no wonder people think there are terfs on staff of this site

Me: *Hates Almond One eye and the Greens baboons*

Tumblr: *Shows every single gifset, videos and essays about them*

[imaginenarusasu]

capitalism is so fucked up i’m so mad that even frickin tumblr fell to it like??? i can’t scroll for a few peaceful seconds without some big fugly ad =.= now tumblr is just a shitload of adds with a couple posts sprinkled in where the pics won’t load and the gifs and videos will take forever but the ad quality is always hd

Fucking hell tumblr live showed up.

I did not think Canadians had it?

[weirdowlyankovic]

Wtf tumblr! ?!

[la-pou-belle]

Genuinely sick of how Tumblr keeps trying to shove radfem posts down my throat. "Based on your likes"? I think the FUCK not

[brettdoesdiscourse]

The fact Tumblr wants you to fork over $45 for a plain white sweatshirt with a tiny pizza slice on it.

[entity9silvergen]

Me: This is horrible information I have learned! I should tell tumblr so others can know of this horror pauses But what will tumblr do with this information

[booksimpsblog]

Tumblr, I don’t want anti IC/Feysand and pro Nesta/Tamlin/Eris content on my page!!!

NOT TUNGLE RECOMMENDING ME A T*RF POST DURING PRIDE MONTH 😫😫😫

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

Tumblr blazed a r4d/f3m post into my dash and by fucking gods i hate this website.

I hope the trolls that hit ao3 hit us next. Another classic "4chan raid" or something.

I hope all rad-cultists get their faces eaten by wild animals.
