Tumblr is in an epidemic. The porn bot apocalypse is here. And it’s really, really, really, really, really annoying. Even more annoying than me saying really five times in a row because let’s face it:

Lately the probability of finding a comment like this in the notes has gone up from 100% to a 10000% and it’s seriously impacting our user experience.
I have been here since 2010, @staff. Started out as wolf blog and in 2012 I used to share my poetry and made eight super good friends to which I am still talking today! But now what?
It’s pretty safe to say that there are a number of bot networks active on this website. The one asking for bitcoin and the aforementioned ‘looking for fun’ one for example. The bots follow a pattern and because it’s a network it should be easy to roll up.
I know we always point at @staff to fix this, but honestly, it’s not an easy fix. I know many people block bots, but do we also report and flag them? How does staff respond to flags?
Anyway, here is what I and 10,000 other people who started following this blog over the last 24 hours propose:
We purge the bots. The porn bots. All of them. This is going to be one big COORDINATED effort to destroy the bots!
For one month we are going to report and flag those blogs, and make sure we cut their profits so they don’t make enough money to support their bot network.
It’s very important that we do this as a community. This is a movement. Everyone has to join so we can limit the outcome of this battle to only two possibilities:
Reagan was elected in 1980, around the same time that HIV began spreading and turning into a pandemic. Nearly 60,000 cases were reported with more than 27,000 dead before he even mentioned the disease in a major speech, during his second term.
His administration spent years pushing back on requests for funding for treatment and research. It’s impossible to know for certain, but if the disease had been aggressively studied and treated in the early years it might have been contained to a few hundred or few thousand deaths here in the USA.
Also he cut funds for mental health treatment and facilities, turning disabled people out onto the streets, the War on Drugs was cranked up to inner-city warfare, and the fundamentalist Christian “Moral Majority” that was his power base happily watched queers and black people and sex workers and homeless people die alone and scared.
Until Donald Trump was elected, he was the best example of an oblivious wealthy white person riding a wave of bigotry into the White House, and empowering that bigotry to a degree that cost tens of thousands of lives.
TL;DR, he watched us die and didn’t care.
Your yearly reminder that Ronald Reagan’s grave is a gender neutral bathroom.
In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.
The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy — and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.
absolutely and converts are v lucky because when you convert to islam all of your previous sins are erased and forgiven
But would one want to convert to a religion that is filled with hatred and violence?
which one of us comes off as more angry and provocative u tell me
The fact that people think that Islam is full of hatred and violence is disgusting. Now, I myself am not Islam. But I know plenty of people who are, and they are all the nicest fucking people you will ever meet. If I was to ever become a religious person, is choose Islam. The word Islam means peace, even! (From what my Islamic friends told me. Correct me if I’m wrong!)
Stop blaming the entire religion for what the extremists are doing.
Follow @purgethebots if you want to fight! More info will follow soon.
How the fuck are you guys gonna fight? What will you do omg
Bot accounts are always hosted on proxies. A proxy changes your device’s IP, so basically Tumblr’s anti-spam system thinks the bot account is a new user, registering with an IP that’s never been used before, while in reality all the accounts are hosted on the same computer or VPS.
Tumblr allows multiple accounts per IP if you add new accounts to it very slowly. One every 3 days for example. You will trigger the system if you create 10 new accounts in one day with the same IP. Proxies are expensive, so in order to make a profit most botters use the same proxy for more accounts. So basically, if we kill one, we kill 10.
Then, if you go with cheaper proxies, the proxies you can buy are on the same subnet. If we kill one, we kill 50.
People bot because it’s profitable. However, if we make one big coordinated effort to purge these bots, they won’t make a profit. The cost of proxies will be more than the revenue, so they will stop.
Right now it’s an absolute epidemic. But if we work together for a month or so, we have a very high chance of winning this battle!
Good point!
1. Bot accounts more or less always post the same comments 2. @staff will, as far as I know, verify first before freezing or terminating an account
