Worth noting that
a) Tumblr, under his leadership, has already had to settle a lawsuit over desperately poor moderation, leading to massive harassment, especially of trans women—and said settlement required them to make significant improvements in said moderation, which self-evidently has not happened,
b) Mullenweg himself admitted that they had some contract moderator who was actively going after trans women, in a criminal breach of contract, and all Tumblr did was to silently let that contractor go,
and c) according to other employees of his, Mullenweg has had a problem with these kinds of toxic blowups since he was just the head of WordPress.
