//Okay well. It’s nobody’s fault whatsoever ❤ but both discord and skype have kind of failed on this front all day today: i could really use stuff with koschei and his kids, or koschei and the doctor, that’s…you know. soft. and warm. i’m having a rough night and in a very nerve wracking situation i can’t escape so. help. 

// …. @staff is your bot going to just….indiscriminately flag anything featuring a human face, and zero sexual content, now???? Like is it really an algorithm that flags skin tones without any other filters because I got news for ya…uh…. you cannot tenably keep that promise not to discriminate against fine art imagery, among many other things.

What mute thing?

Tumblr seems to be muting blogs – idk if it’s directly connected to the flagged content, but it seems to be? 

@hispinkandyellowhuman tumblr is muting blogs with flagged content (like mine, which has ZERO porn on it, good job, tumblr bot, you idiot) which is causing posts on actual blog urls to appear out of chronological order, even though posts on the dash still (sometimes) show up in order.  apparently entire blogs are also not appearing in search results if muted. 

i have to believe this whole thing is so stupid and self-defeating that tumblr will reverse the process sometime in the new year.  it will take time but it’ll happen. by then a lot of the userbase may have left lol, but i think eventually it’ll be an rp resource again.

as for me i’ll probably spend most of my rp time in december on discord.  i’m so busy irl and this is so low maintenance that it just seems wise while tumblr is working out its bugs. i’ll still get to asks and maybe drafts here, but far more slowly.  

//This is amazingly stupid. This whole thing on this website is amazingly stupid and like…..cutting off the nose to spite the face. I’d like to believe it’s intentionally nefarious but it’s like…so SELF-THWARTING.  How can anyone be this tone deaf to their customers????? But like someone recently pointed out, it’s very much like the American GOP that (some of us) underestimated and then look what happened. 

I’m so exasperated that I think you can just. Find me on Discord for the time being. I’m gonna drop my Discord here.  Mutuals ONLY. And please message me here telling me that you’ve done so.

I also have a Skype but I’m going to ask people to PM me for that. 

PSA

My dashboard and blogs are I believe being affected by what is either a site-wide glitch or an element, whether unforeseen or planned, of the sitewide “family friendly” purge.  My dash is dead and yet apparently people have been posting things regularly that simply don’t appear on the dash.  Across all my blogs, I have only one flagged post (so far), but apparently this site is trying to eliminate the use of images in text posts entirely.

For me, this is problematic. I have 4,000+ images across my 7 rp blogs that I use for rp and that is the chief reason why I remain on this site as an rp venue as opposed to html-based message boards.  

So if this continues, this will be the thing that makes me migrate elsewhere. For the foreseeable future,  however, at least through the holidays, I won’t be moving, but I will be rping without icons until this is sorted.   Because I rely heavily on icon-based rp, you should expect me to be less active here than usual. 😦 I’m sorry.
