Oh, did you hear they deleted biggest-gaudiest-patronuses this morning? Apparently they restored the blog some time this afternoon, but having one of the biggest nodes in the tumblr network get deleted within like an hour of them posting this whole "news update" about hwo they were definitely 100% not going to be deleting anything, just "screening" and "hiding" it was just not a good look.
I'm not exactly a twitter poweruser, but the real-time reaction to that deletion seemed to basically be a lot of people saying, "well shit, guess all the alarmists were right, time to get the fuck out."
At this point, if they're NOT trying to shut the site down so they can claim bankruptcy on its debts, I'll be really surprised. It's just hard to imagine this many stupid decisions this rapidly happening by mistake.
Especially when they know they're stupid decisions. I saw a screenshot of the news post just a bit ago, and they actually say, and I quote, "female-presenting nipples (yes we know you hate that phrase)."
Like, if you KNOW then why are you STILL DOING IT.
The whole "oath is wrecking tumblr on purpose" thing has gone from edge theory to "probably the truth" in record time.
