Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Tumblr is actively protecting fake TERF accounts (lemmy.world)

My account, “the angry man” was abruptly terminated. I have done nothing that violates tumblrs terms of service.

The only pattern I see is that I have been routinely calling out TERFs, who have falsely been claiming to be detransitioners, have graduate degrees etc.

It appears that tumblr is actively hostile to people calling out transphobes. The site has decided to take a stand, and that stand is with Russian trolls.

It's been known for years that the tumblr admins are actively transphobic.

I am just absolutely mystified at why I would be banned. I did absolutely nothing to violate TOS. It happened pretty much immediately after I called out an account that was claiming to be a TERF and have a doctorate.

I did not doxx anyone, I have not harassed anyone, I have not posted any content that would be considered “lewd.” The sole reason I appear to be have been banned is calling out TERFs, especially what are clearly ChatGPT/troll accounts.

I’m just so disturbed. They are leaving up violent content that calls for the death of trans women. They took me down with no warning or reason.

I really don't think they give a fuck about their TOS when it comes to this topic ... they'd put in "no trans-friendly content allowed" if that didn't get them into legal trouble (though that's probably not a big deal anymore) and their user base wasn't overwhelmingly trans-friendly.

This is the account that was banned.

There is nothing there that violated TOS.

I never disputed that you didn't do anything ban-worthy ...

Yeah - I guess I’m just inviting people to look at it. It makes no sense.

I’m starting to suspect that Tumblr itself might be running some of these accounts.
