i dont think this site is actually going to go down. i think this is what will happen:
- tomorrow, december 17th, the day of silence protest will occur. a large amount of users will be participating, making the people who are in the loop of the circulation of said protest info aka the most vocal and connected users of the site, think that their dash is completely dead
- small blogging circles will continue to do their thing, many unaware of what is occurring outside of their world
- posts will be made with screenshots of pornbots that havent even been deleted yet with staff @’d to point out how this sweep isn’t even working
- users will devise workarounds to the filtering system when staff refuses to fix it
- on december 18th, most of the day of silence protesters will return to the website. memes about the preceding day / the event will be reblogged en masse. then it will become apparent how many users actually jumped ship
- staff will, once again, either refuse to listen and keep trying to drown this site in a capitalistic river while repeating over and over again that they “love” us, or make some significant bettering change months too late and blame it on a different event than its userbase protesting
- none of the problems they were trying to solve will be solved
- i will keep reblogging funy goodby tumlr memes until its out of fashion and then i will continue being here till im brave enough to deal with twitter or till i get sick of tumblr
thanks for coming to my ted talk and to all of you who are really leaving its been an honor to serve alongside you
