Should’ve gone all the way, Tumblr.
So this morning I decided to allow Tumblr to black-out my site.
But I’ve come to the realization that there’s this grayness to this effort against SOPA and PIPA. All Tumblr users can still see Tumblr via the Dashboard.
Wouldn’t it have been more effective if the Dashboards were also blacked out? Wouldn’t that make its users also appreciate the freedoms we have? Is it right to sit in our cozy Tumblrdome, shout out our opinions, and force others to listen — shouldn’t we also accept this embargo for ourselves?
[By the way, how eerie-cool would that have been if there wasn’t a soul in Tumblrtown today?]
