Ok, Tumblr+ Sucks, Let's Do This

Ok, tumblr+ sucks, let's do this

The Post Plus Protest is coming! Updated Edition

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Fill out the survey on the original Post Plus post (be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS that we don’t want this). Since we mean business, it’s time to hit them where it hurts; Ad Revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as the main event of phase one.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

The protest starts by logging off on August 6th, 2021 at 12am Eastern Time (US). Here’s a quick chart to help figure out when you log out. AUGUST 6th, 2021  12 am Eastern Time (US)    4 am UTC    5 am BST/London    6 am Central Europe Time    7 am Moscow Standard Time    9:30 am Indian Standard Time    12 Noon Hong Kong Time/Australian Western Time    1 pm Japan Standard Time    1:30 pm Australian Central Time    2 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

  11 pm Central Time (US)   10 pm Mountain Time (US)     9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM THE START TIME!

So that means if you log off at say, 6 am Central Europe Time you’ll log back in at 6 am Central Europe Time on August 7th. We’d prefer if if there is no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs during this period.

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post, share it, and use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 and/or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media. If you’re using the mobile version, you can always leave an honest review on the app center of your choice (once again: be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS!).

WHY IS POST PLUS/POST+ SO BAD?

Tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content (whether any of us want to admit it or not). Putting these kinds of contents behind patreon like paywalls is a terrible idea and the legality is NOT in the user or their subscribers favor. You can absolutely get in legal trouble for what tumblr is proposing with this new feature. There’s also the worry about the site’s (poor) security and access to Post Plus users bank information. Do you really want a site that lacks a functioning search function and whose userbase routinely get hacked to have your credit card information? No, you really don’t.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing something to combat tumblr’s impending self-inflicted demise.

ANYTHING ELSE?

There’s a time zone checker linked in a previous post if you need it and I’ll try to fix any mistakes to times as I find them. Keep an eye out for future posts closer to the protest date and the eventual phase two! Thank you ALL for your support so far.

‘Approaching the drop-off point’

The low hum of the engine filled your ears as you sat anxiously on the passenger seat in the havoc marauder. This mission you and the boys were entering was risky, with the client requesting no ship to land as not to draw attention to this mysterious operation. That meant one thing- jumping. Well, at least that’s what hunter explained as he briefed you all on the mission.The plan was simple, Go to a high altitude to a point over the outskirts of the planets capitol, free fall to the rendezvous point, where the client’s worker leads to the resources, then walk to the pick-up point with the bounty and leave unseen. ‘I know this isn’t ideal, but the client is offering over 2000 credits, even including Cid’s cut’ the sergeant said, his brow creased in a determined scowl ‘We have to do this.’ You knew he was right, but truthfully you froze up when he said the words ‘Free fall’. The idea of plummeting through the clouds at a high speed with all of your trust lodged into a single piece of fabric to catch you sounded like some cruel punishment, not a means of transportation. But you had to do this. Your squad needed you.

You looked out of the window, and kriff that’s a long way down. Clouds circled beneath the shuttle, and the trees below looked like ants… this did not sound like a good idea. Lucky omega and tech were staying aboard the ship, ready to swoop in if anything went haywire. ‘Ugggh’ you turned around to see Wrecker, the clone singlehandedly won you over with his wonderful smile, his friendliness and his endearingly child-like demeanour, leaning on the hull looking worryingly green. ‘Wreck, love? What’s wrong?’ you asked nervously. ‘S’nothing. I’m fine’ His eyes told a different story. ‘You’re scared, aren’t you?’ He nodded sheepishly. ‘Thank goodness for that!’ You said, taking wrecker by surprise, ‘I am too! I honestly thought I was the only one.’ The hulking clone laughed in spite of himself, the laugh that singlehandedly made your heart flutter like a mad convor. ‘So we’re both scared. That won’t help the mission’ wrecker said sadly. You sat beside him, putting an arm around his shoulder ‘Perhaps it won’t. But if i do it, you do it with me.’ ‘But.. You’re scared too. Why would you do it?’ You giggled at the expression on his face and looked into his big, dark eyes. ‘Sometimes the way of ending your fear is to confront it.’ ‘Wait, what?’ ‘I know, Wreck. It’s super confusing, but it has worked before.’ That pacified him a little. Solid footsteps drew nearer to the doorway, and you looked away from your partner to see hunter, wearing an ill-concealed expression of embarrassment. ‘It’s time’ he said with a nod of resolve, ‘Are you both ready?’ You and wrecker exchanged glances, and upon seeing wrecker’s look of concern, you gripped his hand. ‘We’re ready, sarge.’

The door hissed open over the clouds, and Wrecker let out a shuddering gasp as he fiddled with his parachute strap. ‘That’s a long way down…’ You steeled yourself, as that fall looked a little too high for your liking. ‘We’ll go together.’ You said, regarding your partner’s concern ‘What?’ ‘We’ll jump together, ok?’ You gazed at the crew of the havoc marauder, and gave a jaunty salute. ‘See you at the surface!’ Wrecker grasped your hand, peering down nervously ‘Together?’ he whispered.’ Always.’ you whispered back, smiling at your beloved. Falling didn't seem to bad after all. Especially with wrecker.
