If You’re Gonna Make Something Wheelchair Accessible, Don’t Make it a Thing

Here’s some examples awkward accessibility being a thing:

Your at a hotel that has a lift to get you from one sub-floor to another, but the lift can only be unlocked and operated by one specific person that the hotel now has to go find. Sure, they’ve made the entrance to the sub-floor is accessible, but now it’s a thing.

The buses are wheelchair accessible but the driver has to stop the bus, take 30 seconds to lower the goddamn ramp, move passengers out of their seats, hook up the straps and then secure you in the bus. Sure, they’ve made the busses accessible but now it’s a thing.

The restaurant has an accessible entrance, but it’s past the trash room and through the kitchen. Sure, the restaurant is accessible, but now it’s an insulting thing.

Here’s some great examples of accessibility not being a thing:

The train to the airport pulls up flush with the platform. I board with everyone else and sit wherever the fuck I want. Riding the train is accessible and not a thing.

In Portland, I press a button the side of the streetcar and a ramp automatically extends at the same time the door opens. I board in the same amount of time as everyone else. This is not a thing.

I get that it is difficult to design for wheelchair accessibility, but folks need to start considering the overall quality of the experience versus just thinking about meeting the minimum requirements.

We’ve got snacks.

@staff @support

First the fucking tags, second the purge, then flagging innocent posts and blogs as sensitive, now I can’t even see people’s reblogs on my posts, are you serious @staff @support ???!!!!

This bullshit is going too far, if this hellsite is coming to an end it’s all your fault.

You didn’t act when it was the time but instead chose to do it with a dollar worth of a fucking bot that doesn’t even work when Apple removed the app from the App Store.

And you know what’s worse? If you used the same fucking algorithm to ban nazis, pedos and bullies at least the purge would’ve been a little more useful, because c'mon who the fuck cares about titties and dicks when there are literal terrorists festering this site?

You talk about “a new better tumblr” when all you’re doing is not care and just throw in a malfunctioning bot that doesn’t even flag the right stuff. You can block tags, specific words, photos, videos, but instead of deleting what’s really been bothering the users for all this time you just go for the easy stuff, and you know that the media will talk about this, about “tumblr deleting porn and dirty blogs”, but guess what, I highly suspect that the titles will more likely be “ Tumblr fucks up, again” because that’s what you do, dear staff, you make promises and then throw them into the void with all those blogs that’ve been wrongfully deleted.

You wanna fix stuff? Fix the tags. Fix the filters. Fix the reblogs. Fix your fucking and apparently useless algorithm.

And you wanna know something? If your algorithm works but also deletes other things other than what was meant to flag and purge then it doesn’t work, it’s broken. Don’t take credit for something that works 10% of its meant functionality, and it’s my best guess, because if a thing doesn’t work and you know it then it’s your job as creators to not unleash it, to keep it until it works properly and can do a good job without ruining innocent users’ blogs and experiences.

But instead you opted for the easy option, setting up a malfunctioning bot just to be granted another chance and be seen as hardworking and caretaking under Apple’s angry eyes.

You wanna know what is imperative to succeed in purging tumblr of all that shit? Actually caring about the people that use it every damn day.

And from how things are going? You don’t seem to care very much.

Please reblog this, I want this to fucking reach their headquarters to blow them up. Literally. This shit’s been going on for too fucking long. It’s time for a change.

STOP SCROLLING!

Oka, I plan on following everyone on tumblr

literally everyone

Please reblog so I can make this happen

you have fucked up....like badly....really really badly....even worse than badly 

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.
