You just know they’re likely jerking each other off right now in their little Discord group, smugly posting about how “we’re wrong” and “they’re morally right” or some bs like that.

I have already taken my stuff down, its all backed up on my PC so if the site gets fixed somehow or there is a suitable alternative nothing will be lost  
Derpibooru staff has become too toxic against its own userbase

@Datte-Before-Dawn  
Yes.

@Barneyfag  
If it does get nuked, it confirms everything we already knew
 
Think they’re willing to risk that?

@Datte-Before-Dawn  
Good luck, but this thread might get nuked.

As much as I hate denying my art to be shared anywhere by anyone, it’s becoming all too clear that this may soon be the only reasonable action to take in this situation. There is no venue to have honest conversations or debate and it’s very clear what their intentions are now.

I totally support this

Something I will also do, but do not expect others to do, is request a total art wipe under my art tag once a replacement booru is found, if no action is taken. I do not support censorship.

Unlike how many detractors are portraying this issue, you don’t have to be a Nazi or white supremacist or any other buzzword to see the value in freedom of expression, or to worry about how, even though it’s Aryanne today, it can be anything else tommorow. Just take a look at the replies in Sethisto’s post earlier, or in Derpibooru’s Black Lives Matter announcement.
 
The people celebrating this will always want more. But it needs to stop here.
 
After clear evidence of admin complacency, ignoring our pleas for no censorship, and their vocal support for policies that restrict artist freedom, there is only one thing to be done now.
 
Join me and others in inflicting a Do Not Post order on your artist tag. This will prevent all your future art be uploaded.
 
Since each DNP request must be looked at manually, the sheer scale of the consequences for the staff’s actions will be plainly visible.
 
If you are not an artist, then simply ceasing uploads of art and reconsidering your Patreon pledge will make our voices heard.
 
Even if nothing is done, as I suspect will be the case regardless, this will make joining alternative boorus, which are being built, much grander as they will get art not able to be posted on Derpibooru
 
Please, if you feel strongly about censorship as an issue, if you see the obvious slippery slope that censorship will cause, then join me and many others by requesting a Do Not Post order on your account.
 
To do this, post here denouncing this censorship and report your own post. Click on Other and say you want to DNP your art tag.
