not a dream

one-time-i-dreamt:

based on the way they’re ignoring everything their own users are saying it’s pretty clear that staff doesn’t care about us, like at all, if you can’t show basic respect to the people using your site on the daily and helping to make it into what it is today, the people who have been on this site for years and have been loyal users of your platform which would have no purpose of existing if it wasn’t for us to use it, if you can’t let us have a voice that actually matters in the way you’re handling things and go about everything displaying that the opinions of the hundreds of thousands of us are completely unimportant for you, you’re going to lose everything

who will stay on the platform that hates their audience? that doesn’t care about most of us? you let things come this far and your way of dealing with the issue is misguided to say at least, unwilling to tackle the actual problems, sloppy and I’d even go as far as to say that it’s lazy, instead of investing the time to solve the real issues, you just decided to go about it the easier way and ban everything that could be considered adult content? how will that solve anything? how will that achieve anything else but most of your audience abandoning this site for good? this is not the only platform out there, you really think people will stay on a site that rejected them? 

you’re abandoning the majority of your users, the marginalized, the people who have no other place to express themselves, who’ve finally met people who understand them, like-minded folks, an accepting environment, just because you’re reluctant to deal with the specific groups of people who are the actual problems here? in a fight to stop the illegal, you’re getting rid of the legal as well, at the cost of your own users. tell me, is that not what’s happening? because I fail to see it as anything else, but prove me wrong staff, do prove me wrong. prove that you actually care about us. prove that we matter.
