Dear @staff,
You have a Nazi problem.
It’s been going on for a while now. Like a long while. White supremacists and neo-Nazis use this site in large numbers to recruit, to disseminate their murderous ideology, and to harass other users. These behaviors are explicitly against your community guidelines. These ideologies get people killed.
Yet when we attempt to report Nazi users for violating the community guidelines, we generally get a form response that just tells us to block the offending users and that “we really appreciate your efforts to make> Tumblr a safer place for everyone.”
Here’s the thing, though. No space can be safe for everyone.
If Tumblr is safe for Nazis, it’s not safe for Jews. If Tumblr is safe for Nazis, it’s not safe for people of color. If Tumblr is safe for Nazis, it’s not safe for disabled people. If Tumblr is safe for Nazis, it’s not safe for queer people. If Tumblr is safe for Nazis, it’s not safe for Roma people.
I know who I stand with, and it’s not the Nazis.
Now it’s your job, @staff, to stand with us.Regards, Tumblr User Maud O. Bedlam
