completely nuking like a dozen trans women's accounts after tumblr user predstrogen got banned so hard every single image she ever posted got deleted (which isn't how tumblr bans work), and claiming the og ban was because of threats towards him. the one threat he could point to was this

he said tumblr would work with the fbi to investigate this shit

link to his statement. he originally misgendered her, then corrected himself to degender her, then finally used corrected himself to use her actual pronouns

Now I'm not one of them there tech guys. I'm just a humble poster, and am neither a tech or a guy. But. Were I the public face of the website tumblr.com there is precisely one group of people with whom I would not engage negatively, and it would be gender and sexual minorities. I'm just putting it out there. After that it would be homestuck fans.

Bizarre that he’s even publicly engaging other users in this way. Like, if you’re the CEO, it’s maybe not the best idea to be getting into arguments, shitposting, telling the world your shitty opinions, etc.

Were CEOs trying to be “personal” with their customers? Or did this only occur after social media became the primary way of communication. Usually these people would just hire a PR agent and ghost write their statements.

They probably think that they are so endearing that can best handle these things themselves. It’s just a symptom of inflated ego

That is literally what ceos do now. They've realised golf sucks or something

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
