Come On Tumblr What's Wrong With You - Tumblr Posts

Thanks for the garbage website.

I was trying to upload a little video but every time it bugged out with “Oh no! Something went wrong! Could you upload your video again?” until it gave me this.

So here watch it on my twitter instead: https://twitter.com/armored_dragon/status/1080514988257787905

Thankfully the Powers That Be agreed that I’m not a porn blog. So I’m no longer in time-out.

I’m relieved I guess, but man, this was a frustration that I Did Not Need. I’m getting tired of neural nets being fickle arbiters of whether or not I get to have a landing page for my crafting business.

I could sort of understand an argument that the auto-moderation system shouldn’t explain why it decided that a blog was porn, because that could give hints into the workings of the system, and the porn bot ecosystem would use that info to game the system. But I think the human users of a site do deserve explanations when things are decided about them. I got 2 politely-worded automatic responses about this matter. If the person whose job it is to review fifty of these cases every hour had clicked the wrong button? Would I have had any recourse?

Anyway, at very minimum, the system should have sent an alert to me when I got flagged. The best I can narrow it down is sometime between October 4, the last post I made where things were normal; and 11, the next post I made, when I noticed my avatar was the default cone. No email, no alert anywhere on the website.

In case it wasn’t clear, I’m grumpy. But I have a stack of new stuff to post, so I’ll get back to that tomorrow.

Wait fuck did I get fucking flagged as a porn blog

what the fuck tumblr

seriously?
