Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

This is blatantly untrue
Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.
Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)
Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,
DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.
Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.
In honour of the 117 snitches who voted having no confidence in me, I will be hosting the first ever Polygraph Party at the House of Commons, this Saturday at 8:00PM
you know im not trying to call anyone out or w/e but this is the type of dialogue around mental illness on this site that i think is really unhelpful. the original post has over 100k notes. why do so many people experience life as something so soul crushing that they spend every second of their day wanting to sleep and then lie awake at night trying to prevent tomorrow? not to get marxist on main but i would suggest that the op points to the misery that work under capitalism creates for a lot of people and to just be like “all of these people have an individual pathology and its not ‘normal’” i feel really undermines our ability to talk about *why* so many people are depressed
