It actually pisses me off more knowing Tumblr was perfectly able to solve its cp problem but just didn’t until it ended up on the news
I dunno if banning half the userbase with poorly-coded bots qualifies as “perfectly able”
Despite glitchiness, they wiped MAP and MAP positivity tags, have put in a new report for drawn CP, have cleared out drawn CP tags, have deleted multiple known pedophiles’ blogs.
Even if some people had to be taken down on the way (with a system in place that makes your blog easily obtainable if you feel you’ve been wrongly deleted, with all of your posts and blogs still in tact), they fixed the problem within a few days.
So, to reiterate:
Tumblr was perfectly able to solve its cp problem but just didn’t until it ended up on the news
Further, the bots were poorly-coded because they were slapped together too quickly as a form of “damage control” in order to address the app being removed from app stores.
Had they done things the right way from the start, taken the time to design better bots or systems, the improper deletions wouldn’t have happened, or at least could have been far more limited.
They had plenty of time; the users have been asking for these issues to be addressed for years, after all.
I feel like an important message is trying to be communicated to me but I have no idea what it is
Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! This is super useful for so many things, especially paper production! In addition, hemp takes in carbon dioxide 4x as fast as trees do, which makes it especially valuable in the act of reducing CO2 emissions/greenhouse gases! 🌲🌲🌲 source
Important reminder that industrial hemp can’t be used as a recreational drug, so if anyone tries to pull that card you can just stop them then and there. There are no real arguments against using industrial hemp, even if you’re rigidly against the legalization of any recreational drugs.
Depending on who you ask, the heartbeat bill is no joke. Gov. Kasich vetoed a similar measure in 2016 but now the republican senate has enough majority to potentially overturn a veto. Many republican lawmakers are hoping to use ohio to bring abortion back to the federal supreme court and overturn Roe v Wade. This is all in the last article I linked from the New York Times btw
So if the first article sounds too clickbait-y for you just know that ohio is actually proposing, and has a good chance of passing strict anti-abortion laws 🙃
