The Post Plus Protest is coming! Updated Edition

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Fill out the survey on the original Post Plus post (be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS that we don’t want this). Since we mean business, it’s time to hit them where it hurts; Ad Revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as the main event of phase one.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

The protest starts by logging off on August 6th, 2021 at 12am Eastern Time (US). Here’s a quick chart to help figure out when you log out. AUGUST 6th, 2021  12 am Eastern Time (US)    4 am UTC    5 am BST/London    6 am Central Europe Time    7 am Moscow Standard Time    9:30 am Indian Standard Time    12 Noon Hong Kong Time/Australian Western Time    1 pm Japan Standard Time    1:30 pm Australian Central Time    2 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

  11 pm Central Time (US)   10 pm Mountain Time (US)     9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM THE START TIME!

So that means if you log off at say, 6 am Central Europe Time you’ll log back in at 6 am Central Europe Time on August 7th. We’d prefer if if there is no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs during this period.

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post, share it, and use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 and/or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media. If you’re using the mobile version, you can always leave an honest review on the app center of your choice (once again: be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS!).

WHY IS POST PLUS/POST+ SO BAD?

Tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content (whether any of us want to admit it or not). Putting these kinds of contents behind patreon like paywalls is a terrible idea and the legality is NOT in the user or their subscribers favor. You can absolutely get in legal trouble for what tumblr is proposing with this new feature. There’s also the worry about the site’s (poor) security and access to Post Plus users bank information. Do you really want a site that lacks a functioning search function and whose userbase routinely get hacked to have your credit card information? No, you really don’t.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing something to combat tumblr’s impending self-inflicted demise.

ANYTHING ELSE?

There’s a time zone checker linked in a previous post if you need it and I’ll try to fix any mistakes to times as I find them. Keep an eye out for future posts closer to the protest date and the eventual phase two! Thank you ALL for your support so far.

guys listen to my alex playlist [if you disagree about her music taste youre wrong sorry not sorry] anyway its a Good Ass Playlist and alex 100% listens to all of the songs on it & also i associate her with so many of them. like the lyrics are just Perfect For Her. listen to it https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0KYEPgAqPrRTLeRGWmtLEU?si=d8ec6af7007347bf

Hyped for Oxenfree 2!! Bet you all been wondering what all those weird textures were for the past few days eh

i havent unfollowed bc i like laughing at how pathetic everything u post is. hope that helps !

Hello! I think you may have sent this to the wrong blog. The blog you may be looking for is @/roadkillrabiez. This kind of thing happens all the time because the URLs are so similar, so don't worry about it!! Hope you have a great day :)

my sense of humor is saying "Wow, this is just like Oxenfree (2016)" at every possible moment

Hey guys tonight we’re just thinking about how in the beginning of Oxenfree Alex and Jonas talk by the memorial of the sunken USS Kanaloa. And Alex says it makes her sad because it reminds her of scenes in movies where a character needs to be sealed up to keep the rest of the ship from drowning. And that’s basically what happened to her so she could save all her friends and she’s forever trapped in the time loop :,) restarting over and over :,) and never remembering :’) so she relives all the pain :’)

extremely specific hcs pt 3: smells

alex: maraschino cherries, the ocean, blood

ren: weed, nail polish, sugar cookies

jonas: cigarettes, axe body spray, misspent youth

nona: really good perfume that you know you've smelled before but you can't put your finger on what it's called

clarissa: mint, downy fabric softener, spite

I’ve made posts like this before but I think time loop stories are some of the most concentrated essences of the nature of a story having a narrative function. A time loop story takes the fact that any story can be reread, rewatched, relistened to forever without ever changing the end, and makes that a literal function of the story, the infinite repeatability becoming the driving factor. And then the story says “but what if the infinite repeating cycles did change? What if it was possible to get it right, to break the loop, to free yourself from the narrative? What if the universe (the reader, the author) wants you to get it right, no matter the cost?”

idk if you know the game Oxenfree, but any of the characters from that?

I did play it back in the day actually :) loved alex and clarissa the most
