Hey so @staff it’s really really shitty to flag as explicit a post about my gay uncle who died due to AIDS.
@staff this is unacceptable
Thank you. I didn’t even see a notification – I just came across it while I was scrolling through my blog to see if anything was flagged.
I’m honestly pretty upset about this. It’s also wild considering the history of the AIDS epidemic and how the US government censored PSAs about the epidemic to not mention gay men because it might be seen as endorsing “deviant” behavior. I’m not saying that’s why this was flagged, I’m just saying there’s relevant history here.
First, do NOT delete your entire page just yet. I’ve noticed a lot of our pics are flagged, but some aren’t. Sure, we might not post here much anymore after the 17th, but we can also leave posts about how to find us. And from what it looks like, text posts and non NSFW pics would remain.
Second…there are many other sites, but I have yet to find one with the functionality of Tumblr. What I’ll probably do is use a trial period on several or many of them, like Twitter, OnlyFans, Ello, MeWe, etc. And in the end, stick with what we like. Then post links to where we’ll be for our friends and followers to find us.
Third… let’s use the remaining time here to make sure we connect with our friends and stay in touch, whether it be via email, kik, or whatever.
Fourth: Fuck Tumblr. They are going to take a serious numbers hit when all the NSFW bloggers leave.
Yes…this
Well said🖤😏
My plan is after I export both my blogs, I’m appealing every single post on my NSFW blog. Then I’m deleting it before December 17.
In my case, it has very little following, and I still have the main. Most people know me through Twitter and other sites for NSFW content. I don’t really lose anything by deleting that blog.
Sounds drastic. Especially for content creators who may still need Tumblr for commissions while they find an alternative.
If you can swing it, here’s why:
I suspect that the December 17th deadline is so that Verizon/Yahoo can clean house and make Tumblr appealing to investors. This is a Q4/Q1 fire sale kind of thing. It makes a certain amount of business sense to make this change. Human-lead content curation (e.g. separating the CP from the legit) is expensive and time-consuming. I doubt they have the money for it. They already sold off Flickr. As a long-time Flickr pro user, I’m not pleased by the change and increase in pro account price, but I get it.
Investors are looking for a user base. User base is a prime attraction for investment or buy-out for a social media platform or application (I speak from experience as a co-founder of Rhinobird.tv).
Every account that is cancelled will be one less account in Tumblr’s user base for their pitch. I assume that there are millions of accounts with some percentage simply being abandoned accounts that haven’t been used in years. So cancelling one’s account on the way out the door won’t really matter unless the number of cancelled accounts reaches several hundred thousand at least.
If you decide to leave and cancel, then I also recommend sending a polite message to Tumblr staff, or tweet to the account about why you are leaving.
Finally, using Twitter to voice your concerns and thoughts about this issue will increase its visibility. They ain’t gonna like that. Media outlets that cater to tech entrepreneurs, and Silicon Valley types are going to be all over this.
I never ask for reblogs, but I will this one time.
Porn blogs use chronic pain as a tag for gang rape porn.
Deleting a legitimate tag that an oppressed group uses to communicate
IS NOT OK. Our struggles should not be erased because Tumblr can’t get its shit together.
Admin J
PS Admin E follows the chronic pain tag and says you’re full of shit. Because she’s never, EVER seen this in the tag and she goes through
months at a time when she searches it. With safe mode off.
So even if what you said was true, the cases would be few and far between and wouldn’t justify deleting the entire tag.
Click “Settings” under the account menu at the top of the dashboard (the person silhouette).
Select the blog you’d like to export on the right side of the page.
Scroll down to the “Export” section and click the “Export [blog name]” button.
You’ll see a message indicating that your backup is processing.
When your blog’s content is finished collecting, the processing message will be replaced with a “Download backup” button. Click this button to download a ZIP file of your blog’s exported contents.
If you want to export the contents of more than one of your blogs, you’ll need to initiate this process separately for each blog.
Your blog export may include:
A Posts folder, with an HTML file for each post (this includes reblogs, drafts, private posts, flagged posts, and any other hidden posts).
A Media folder, with the media from your posts, plus any media you’ve uploaded (like in messaging). These files will be in the format you uploaded them in (JPG, GIF, PNG, MP4, and so on).
A representation of your blog’s messaging conversations, in XML format.
A representation of your blog’s posts, also in XML format.
Note that your backup may take some time to process. Check back on your blog’s settings page periodically to see if it has completed.
I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis
