If you’re wanting to show your displeasure, don’t just tag staff or support. Take a page out of other consumer revolts and make sure your displeasure is known.
Don’t be an idiot. Do not threaten, harass or otherwise make this personal. Contact these companies, make your displeasure known, alert them that you are a customer and you will be leaving their brand across all boards unless they reverse their decision.
Be clear, be concise, be polite, but make your displeasure known.

New Info Will Be Added As I’m Made Aware Of It
Edit: This does nothing if it isn’t shared around
I wrote a moderately irritated but still measured email that anyone should feel free to snag:
Dear Support Staff, I am writing, as I’m sure are many others, to express my displeasure at the “no adult content” guidelines Tumblr is planning to roll out this December. Tumblr is, of course, a private company and has the right to host whatever content it would like. As a consumer, however, I am incredibly dispirited to find that Tumblr has elected to target non-malicious users alongside the “porn bots” that plague the site; moreover, I am upset that Tumblr is doing so under the guise of deciding “which communities” it wants to host on its platform, while doing precious little to mitigate the presence of users espousing Neo Nazi and other violently radical platforms. I respectfully request that Tumblr and its staff make an effort to remove “porn bots” and other malicious spam and malware, users espousing violent platforms, and to leave the multitudes of artwork, writing, and “female-presenting nipples” deemed “adult content” aside for the time being, until the site’s more problematic and actively harmful content is dealt with appropriately. If the proposed changes do come to pass in mid December, against the clear wishes of Tumblr’s enthusiastic user base, I will be finding another platform on which to host content, and encouraging others to do the same. Thank you,
[your name if you want]
I’ve just finished my page and a half compliant which I’m sending to the above addresses from the UK.
I encourage everyone who can to also write or email with their complaints as our voices on this matter should be heard. Your opinion as a site user matters! Please take the time to let Tumblr know how you feel if you can.
I just hope if they receive enough complaints they may start to listen to their customers, but I won’t hold my breath, i mean that would make business sense after all.
now that having basically any image in your posts places you at risk of getting flagged for “sensitive content” by the new algorithms, we’re just going have to start posting our reaction images in text format
the day is december 18, 2018. i type a post and use ‘👀’ in the text body. the emoji too closely resembles nipples (female presenting) and i am immediately executed
Hi, you may or may not know me. I go by Tyramir, and I’m an author. Mostly I write fanfic, but I have also published a book at some point. (Yes, that was a subtle plug – don’t feel obligated to click the links, they’re there to justify to myself why I’m doing this so I can say this wasn’t 100% altruistic because I’m a crusty old troll)
So, recently, Tumblr has made something of an announcement regarding what kind of content they will and will not host in the future. And you know what, that’s okay. It’s their site. They can do what they want. Just like I’m free to say, “Hey, @staff, go fuck yourselves with some sandpaper, you masochistic fucks.”
Ah, that felt good. You know what else feels good? Moving to Pillowfort. I’m in no way associated with them, beyond that I am now a user. I just bought a key. More than one, actually. I bought a whackload of them. I am not rich. See: author. Very poor profession if you’re not ultra-successful. However, what I am is angry, and disappointed with the direction this site is taking.
This site is home for the marginalised, for the outcasts, for the misfits. It’s also the home for a lot of fellow artists, like myself. Ones that might not have a little extra cash in their wallets. So, as a Christmas gift (and as a way of sharing that link up above advertising my book, see self, you’re not totally altruistic), I’m making this offer.
Reblog and like this post. You don’t have to follow me. You don’t have to buy my book. You don’t have to tell anyone it exists. You don’t even have to click that link. Just like and reblog. Anyone who likes it will get one entry for drawing for a key. Anyone who reblogs it will get one. Anyone who does both will get two. And on December 17th, the Day of Ignominy, I will draw ten names, and I will gift ten keys. I’ll even wear a Willy Wonka hat while I do. You won’t be able to see it, but the spirit will be there.
If you want to get the word out, but don’t want to get an entry (say you already have a Pillowfort account), just reblog and tag the post with “no entry,” or some variation thereof. I’ll exclude you from the draw, but thank you (in my mind, I’m not gonna actually thank people, but that requires effort, yo) for helping others learn about this opportunity.
TL;DR: Bald author wants to use very little cash he has to give people Pillowfort accounts. Just like and reblog for entries.Also, I hope you are feasted upon by a swarm of angry weasels, @staff.
