ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, TUMBLR?

[vulgarweed]

Of all the blogs I've been affiliated with, guess which one gets flagged NSFW and shadowbanned?

You probably wouldn't guess the fucking GOOD OMENS HOLIDAY EXCHANGE MOD BLOG, would you?

Well, if you didn't, you were wrong. That was the one.


In December. Our busy season.

OMG! Wow. That algorithm is really working, eh?

[vulgarweed]

It ain't got rhythm.

[trobadora]

Oh hell, that's extra evil. :(

[vulgarweed]

It really is. Also bizarre, because there's literally nothing remotely NSFW anywhere on it.

[write_out]

What the fuck! I'm so sorry!

[vulgarweed]

It is truly a WTFuckening moment.

[luthe]

It was all those female presenting nipples. /sarcasm

[vulgarweed]

THAT EXPLAINS IT!

IT'S SHADWELL!

[donut_donut]

Jesus. Did they even notify you or did you find out yourself?

[vulgarweed]

We found out by noticing the avatar was pixellated and our header defaulted. Then I checked the site at http://www.postlimit.com/ and, sure enough.

[donut_donut]

This whole thing is just appalling. It's like they learned nothing at all from strikethrough.

[fffinnagain]

Fascinating! (also, ugh, serious, what a disaster)

[vulgarweed]

There is really no rhyme or reason to it at all. Surely, if they were going to go after any of the blogs I'm connected to, it would have been "Get Mrs. Hudson Laid," right?

[teaforlupin]

Ugh I'm so sorry >.<

[vulgarweed]

Thanks!

Thankfully, we never actually tried to host the exchange itself on Tumblr. All the story and art posts are still safe on Dreamwidth - we only used that blog for announcements.

They don't want fandom. They particularly don't want literate, witty fandom pointing out how ridiculous the Establishment is -- it makes them scared of us.

[vulgarweed]

If they get rid of everyone that's smarter than them, there really will be nothing left but pornbots and Nazis.

[alassenya]

They'd feel right at home, then.

[tei]

Perhaps they’re taking a stand against blasphemy, now?

That’s baaaaaaallllls, I’m sorry :(

[vulgarweed]

But think of all the blasphemy their shit-for-brains decisions are causing.

[yaycoffee]

Oh, man!! :-(((( I'm so sorry!

[vulgarweed]

Thanks! It's a real fucknugget, gotta say. Thankfully, we were stubborn old farts and never hosted any actual stories or art posts there. All the important stuff is still safe on DW. The blog was for announcements only (which makes it even more baffling).

[vivien]

Man, that is some bullshit.

[vulgarweed]

Ain't it just?

[prettyarbitrary]

*large snorting sound coming from my direction*

[splix]

That absolutely blows. I'm so sorry.

Meanwhile Tumblr completely failed to flat a number of images I reblogged of Sherlock and John fucking. God, it's fucking idiotic, and I'm so glad GOE didn't lose any substantive content.
