usually i think people are misguided in putting the blame for corporate decisions directly at the feet of the figurehead ceo but in this case he is genuinely detested
![tinystepsforward Follow matt is supposed to be on f------ sabbatical rn. the last time he refused to log off and caused problems swinging his d--- around was on the wordpress.org twitter hawking a fundraiser for his birthday and claiming that as founder he didn't need to get permission fr marketing or otherwise worry about not offending people. this time he promised everyone at automattic he'd actually take a break (and become a chess grandmaster in 3 months, which, whatever, dumb techbro ego bs). instead he logged back in almost immediately, berated one of the apps teams publicly, refused to log off, then did a bunch of blog posts and interviews saying s--- ranging from "Capitalism is, as Nicholas Stern says, the best way to take care of people we don't know." through "essentially [queer or Black groups are] tribes or identities that separate us. And so part of me really identifies with Martin Luther King being, I want my children judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin." i am, thank f------ everything, no longer working for him, and yet. i quit before leadership could force my lead to fire me. a disproportionate amount of queer people have been fired or forced to leave in the last year, bc he has personally been sending messages pressuring all leads to pick a "weak link" and going on about culture fit in ways that are f------ loaded. and then there's the exodus of ex- leads who have been saying clearly that they quit instead of being forced to fire people, and the whole team of quality engineers that was axed late last year (oh but it's not a layoff, they all magically had bad performance despite great individual performance reviews, one of them being on parental leave, and all of them being blindsided), and so on and so on... honestly it f------ sucks bc for a long time i was able to say, despite matt personally being behind half the bad ideas that have plagued tumblr in the last few years, that i think automattic was still doing a better job than most other companies who could afford to take on a liability like tumblr would do. and i thought that about wordpress.com too, and kept recommending it bc automattic's ethics were at least marginally better than most companies in the same space not built on open source. there were people i knew who were working on the transmisogynist moderation issue, but [gestures] decisionmakers have decided they're selling tumblr data (including private data!) to midjourney instead of doing anything but doubling down i guess.now that matt's weighed in it's not gonna get better. the queer staff remaining have used what leverage they had in every way possible and stopped being listened to a long time ago. support staff are paid far too little for what they deal with. i get messages from my ex-colleagues regularly because they're all trying desperately to jump ship. anyway usually i think people are misguided in putting the blame for corporate decisions directly at the feet of the figurehead ceo but in this case he is genuinely detested and keeps personally making the worst decisions and doubling down on them autolenaphilia Follow I want everyone to know that after looking at matt's non-tumblr blog the birthday fundraiser debacle apparently happened this january and he started his sabbatical at the beginning of february. And now he is doing this.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we would appreciate some insight and transparency into the content moderation systems.

y'all know that the explanations that matt gave as to why he banned are predstrogen aren’t for us, right?

![transfem-juice Hey so if "I hope you get exploded with hammers" or whatever is enough to get not only get just one account permanently deleted but to get every new account you make permanently deleted, wiping an entire person past present and future off of the site, does that mean that all harrassment meeting and surpassing the same comically low level is now retroactively a permabanable offense, and therefore every f------ terf on this god damn site that's ever left even a single hate message should have their entire existence past present and future wiped from tumblr? Just checking if there's a transphobic (and transmisogynistic) double standard or not @photomatt, since you're so convinced that tumblrs transphobia is just misinformation self-loving-vampire On July 10th of 2023 I got an email on tumblr regarding a neo-nazi I randomly spotted and reported was not violating community guidelines with his comments towards another user and therefore no action would be taken. This led to me asking this in reply, including a direct quote of what the neo-nazi said. How is saying you want your job to be "liquidating f------ like you two" not agaisnt the hate speech rules or community guidelines? Like, can you explain that to me please? [Image reads: "How is saying you want your job to be "liquidating f------ like you two" not against hate speech rules or community guidelines? Like, can you explain that to me please?"] I never got an answer.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/760/549/74c.png "How is saying you want your job to be \"liquidating f-ggots like you two” not against hate speech rules or community guidelines")
