WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS: Pilot Being a vampire’s familiar is like being a best friend who’s also a slave. Tomorrow night marks the ten year anniversary since I started working for my master. I think he’s planning something pretty special. I think he’s going to make me a vampire.
Reblog this on the first of the month for good luck all month long!
“maybe this way the sallon will accept it, monsieur Manet”
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
What all ask boxes look like for me (submission boxes look exactly the same):
Left: what happens when I try to open dms (New Message does nothing); I can’t even read them. Right: when I try to go to someone’s dms from their blog.
Neither new things I post nor old things I post show up in the tags they’re in, even if they were before.
I can type things into replies, but it won’t actually post them.
Since it doesn’t seem this one has been encountered by many people yet, maybe reblog this so people know about it. I’m probably getting deleted though
Everyone reblog this as much as possible over the next two weeks for good luck

IT’S HAPPENING!
no one wants to admit they shop at hot topic but we all do
Since Tumblr is purging fan accounts from every fandom I thought I’d make a master post of resources for safe blogging.
What we know so far:
This started with Backgrid and Splash New using reverse image search through a third party to protect their photos.
It was first limited to paparazzi photos, events, red carpets and set photos.
However now it is rumored to be extended to other stuff like celebrity photoshoots etc.
A better, proper explanation here.
FAQs:
Rebloging is fine, only the original post will get flagged and deleted.
You get three strikes for copyright infringement and then your blog gets terminated.
If your main blog gets terminated, then all your sideblogs go, no matter if you are a member or an admin.
If you get warnings for your sideblog then only the sideblog gets terminated.
Notes or no notes, if you have posted anything from the above category, it will be flagged.
It’s not limited only to the United States, it’s happening internationally.
If your edit is a part of a larger graphic and different form the original offending photo you’re probably safe.
It’s not limited to one fandom, everyone is being effected from Marvel, to Musicians, to WWE, EVERYONE.
Gifs are fine, only copyrighted images are under scrutiny.
Protective Measures:
The best option so far is to delete any photos you posted (POSTED, not reblogged).
Like I mentioned above it was limited to only paparazzi photos but now it’s rumoured to be extended to everything that was not posted by the celebrity themselves.
If you’re very attached to your edit, changing the post to “private” may help (but probably not for very long.)
This is an excellent post about how to buy some time to delete posts or to protect your blog.
This website hides all of your reblogs so you can use it to see all your original post and delete the offending ones. (Also mentioned in the above post)
You can also take a backup of your blog by going to tumblr.com/settings/blog/your url and clicking on Export at the bottom of the page.
@captainevanss has answered many asks on this, please go through her blog before sending another ask, she has answered every possible question there is.
Future Blogging:
If you post photos in future remember to save it as a new post and remove existing EXIF details before posting through third party apps (via @tessathompsson and @steven-rogers)
Some excelent tips for future safe blogging
I’ll keep adding more info. Stay safe kids, hope you don’t get snapped!
