We thought tumblr didn’t understand their own website but then they sent a mass callout post baselessly accusing users of being Russian spies so maybe they understand their website better than we could have ever imagined.

Except it wasn’t baselessly, there was a lot of investigation going on and BuzzFeed managed to call out Tumblr on their inability to handle the situation in the slightest.

Calling it ‘baseless’ when there was evidence that a lot of these accounts mirrored confirmed Russia troll accounts that were used to divide a userbase and promote Russian propaganda is absolutely harmful. It’s not baseless. An investigation was made, Russian spies were discovered and their accounts eliminated.

That’s the farthest cry from ‘baseless’ I’ve ever seen. Maybe you didn’t have the full scope, which is fine, but you have the information now, so please don’t falsely spread the idea that it was baseless.
