IMPORTANT WARNING

IMPORTANT WARNING

This is not my usual post, and I don't plan on it being, but this is essential, and I felt like I had to share this with a community that is so dear to me. It is with a heavy heart that I come to announce this, but: If you're apart of the Tumblr decor/art/gfx/edit/resources community, it is possible that your work is being reposted in a Discord server that condones with extremist harmful hate groups, abuse of artists and graphic designers and the devaluing of their works, promotion of scam schemes, support of underage extreme labour, lack of digital safety and protection for minors, grooming and psychologically abusing vulnerable minors and much more. Without your consent or knowledge. ----------------------- "Decorations for Servers, or popularly known as DFS, is a community hosted on the chat application Discord, with the goal of being a hub for sharing decorative resources and creating a community centred around these themes. (...)"

" (...) Although it has a harmless premise and, in theory, encourages healthy interaction and the formation of bonds between individuals with similar interests and personalities, through predatory handling, DFS has become a centre of toxic, abusive, and at times even criminal behaviours within the community. These behaviours have failed to be resolved as of the aforementioned date, and continue to go unaddressed or unpunished. Omitting this information poses a risk to the privacy and psychological well-being of underage dependents who may become involved with Decorations for Servers."

----------------------- "How do I prevent this from happening?"

1- If you have a Discord account, join https://discord.gg/decorations and search your Tumblr user in the searchbar. (if you do not, create one or ask a friend to do this for you) 2 - Finding resources from your profile or not, direct message the server owner, @haruni , and express your disdain for your resources being posted in this community. Demand the deletion of your resources from all channels/demand that your resources are never posted in any channels. 3 - Reblog this/send this to decor/art/gfx/edit/resources accounts

----------------------- Users who had their work reposted in this server in the past month: @nicodefresas @xaxanteria @char-4064-mlynar @yingdu @bucciniexe @punkitx @puppyemotes @sugarbunniez444 @naseratis @racconic @pueriled @fluffettis @aventurinean @pitfall-bakery @tinylambnursery @selysie There are 900+ tumblr mentions in the server. Please make sure to check if your work is safe. It is important to stand up for yourself and claim up for what's yours in right. Every denial of your work being taken advantage of by vile people does not help only you, but all of the creative community on Tumblr. Your voice, knowledge and reach can bring voice to these victims and make sure a community with this much hidden history doesn't thrive. STATING THAT it is not a risk at the moment to send a message to them to ask for your works to be taken down as they are intimidated by the constant reports made directly to them. They will probably listen. While the server is in portuguese, you can just randomly assign yourself rols and type your name or "tumblr" out in the search bar to check, and type out a message in english towards the owner. If you need any support, you can message me through Discord (lucineidesouza) Thank you for your time.
