one last time everybody!
It's Noelle. from No*llev*nious.
This is the final time im going to try making an alternate blog.
two days ago, saturday, may 13th, at around 3am, with almost 4000 followers, my blog, @noellevanious, was deleted. no e-mail, mo warning. 10 years of using the site. presumably gone forever.
i made 3 alt blogs. two of them were literally terminated within seconds of being created.
After lasting one day, @noellevanioustoo, my alt blog, was deleted.
originally i assumed it was just a misunderstanding, maybe an IP ban. i use a VPN, so i can understand a blanket/automated ban. its still absolute garbage, happened to a blog thats been using a vpn for months, including on my cellphone, and constantly swapping wifi between work and home. its fucking stupid, but its better than the other consideration:
somebody on tumblr staff is somehow finding my blogs and deleting them constantly om purpose.
i have two assumptions that i can make right now:
- assume it has to do with my vpn, or maybe evem my new phone. if its just a mistake, maybe theyll re-instate me.
- the site is purposefully targeting me. it is well known that the staff is, at best, unaware or uninterested with dealing with transphobes and terfs mass reporting trans woman blogs. at worst, there are terfs or transphobes on staff. either way, 11 years of posting here have now vanished, with no way of getting it all back.
why would they target me over other, more outspoken pro-trans users? i dont fucking know.
but, this is where you come in. and id greatly appreciate the help -
i've already sent multiple emails to tumblr support. i dont need money, i'm okay financially.
i want you guys to hammer the fuck out of tumblr support's email.
send as many emails as you can. i dont care whats in them, so long as "noellevanious" and "deleted without explanation" are included. ask for them to reinstate my blog. ask for an explanation. tumblr support is a joke, and the function barely works, but its the only option i, we, have right now.
why should you do this? putting aside helping a girl out, this is definitely a turning point. theyve deleted multiple other transfem blogs without a word. if they deleted my blog, that is adverse to serious conflict, political or otherwise, and dont reinstate it, i wouldnt be surprised if they start cracking down on other transfem blogs.
until that moment, when a response happens, i dont know what ill do. its entirely possible ill try to post this post and itll fail, and this blog that i have yet to even mention to friends, anybody for that matter, will be gone too (if you see this on another friend's blog, thats why). i had plans for a few more streams that i may do the next few days, but i wont lie, checking my dash was a big part of my day.
if you wanna reach/follow me in the meantime, @noellevanious on twitter and twitch.tv/noellevanious are where you can find me. i also have a mastodon apparently? @novanious. basically, search "novanious" or "noellevanious" and you'll find me. for now it'll probably just be twitter (god help me) and twitch - if youre a fan of White Women Wednesday Wrestling, be sure to tune in sunday night, most likely at 8pm est!
if my blog does eventually get restored, im sure youll see news of it, either from my return to posting or from my friends spreading the word. either way, thanks again for any support, and a big thanks to all my friends that were spreading news of my first burner yesterday. it really means the world to me.
until then, see you around.
