Deleted accounts can now be recovered up to 30 days later

We’re making a big change to how account deletion works on Tumblr, and we’re really excited about it, because this is something that some of you have been requesting for… well… a literal decade.

Before today, when you deleted your Tumblr account, it was immediate and permanent. Occasionally, this resulted in Very Sad Times. Even though we’ve tried to make it super difficult to accidentally delete your account, this is something that still happens a lot. Like, a lot. There’s also plenty of folks who delete their account on purpose, but then regret it shortly afterward. Worst of all, if your account was hacked, and then deleted by the hacker, there was no way to get it back. 

All of these problems are *poof* no more. As of today, when you delete your account, we will keep your data for 30 days. Your account will remain recoverable during that time, and you can contact us within that 30 day window if you’d like us to restore your account.

Eventually, we hope to make this process a bit easier, and allow you to restore your account with a single click of a button. For right now, though, you’ll need to contact us via tumblr.com/support and choose the category “Account Access” > “I have deleted my account or blog by accident”. 

FAQs

How do I delete my account? Does that process look different now?

You can follow the steps here to delete your account on the web or through the mobile app, which works pretty much the same way as before. You’ll notice we’ve updated the confirmation screen to reflect the new process, though.

Does a deleted account still appear on Tumblr during this 30 day window?

Nope. As soon as you submit the request to delete your account, all of your blogs will no longer be accessible (they’ll 404), no one will be able to message you, your posts will no longer appear in search results, and you won’t be able to log in anymore. This happens right away, not 30 days later. Deleted accounts still behave exactly as they always have.

What about my email address and username? Will those become available again immediately after account deletion, like they did before?

Notably, no, they will not. In order to make it possible for the account to be restored during the 30 day window, the username and email address must remain associated with the account during that time. So they won’t be available to register again until 30 days after you’ve deleted your account.

If you’re deleting your account, and you already know that you’d like to use the same username or email address on a new account immediately afterward, we recommend that you change your username and email address before deleting the account. That way, they will become available right away, instead of being on hold for 30 days. 

What if I’ve accidentally deleted one of my sideblogs, but not my entire account?

If you delete a sideblog, it will be deleted right away, and cannot be restored. We can only restore an entire account (which will restore all of its blogs along with it). 

Is this feature retroactive? Can you restore the account I deleted two years ago?

As much as we would like this to be possible, the answer is no. We still haven’t perfected the art of time travel, so all accounts deleted before today are still deleted for good. This new change will only apply to accounts which are deleted after this announcement is posted.

Where can I learn more about the account deletion process?

You can check out our support documentation and Privacy Policy. Both have been updated to reflect these changes.

Oh wow this is such a difficult awful packaging to get through that seems to cause physical damage to your hands as some sort of sick self defense mechanic, if only i had something to help get through it, something sharp perhaps

[okthatsgreat]

what sort of sick twisted game is it trying to play here

LEAVE ME ALONE

[charmwasjess]

Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

[baddywronglegs]

Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit

Burdens

What are you carrying around?

If you’re like me, your honest answer is something like “more than I want to.”

All of us have burdens. Whether it’s the burden of a past (and every one of us has one). Or the burden of the present. Or the future.

Not to mention the burden of a crisis. Whether it involves health, family, finances, addictions, or all of the above.

It’s tempting to just dump it all. Drop all your burdens and run away from them.

A guy I went through school with tried. More than once.

Every few years, when it all got to be too much for him, he would bail. On everything.

He’d quit his job. Dump his significant other. Move to another state. And start again.

Every time he did – whether it was someplace warmer, or someplace colder, in the mountains, or at the sea.

Every time he did, in a few years he’d find that nothing really changed. That he’d traded the burdens from that old job, that old relationship, that old place. For a new set of the same stuff. Just with different people. In a different place.

Dropping your burdens and running away from them is an illusion.

Your burdens follow you. Because no matter where you go. Or who you cut yourself off from. You can’t get away from you.

Here’s what does work. Not carrying them alone. Not even trying to carry them alone.

And it starts with the most important relationship in your life. Your relationship with God.

How does that figure into our burdens?

One of the most subtle forms of pride is the unwillingness to get help. Even our unwillingness to admit that we need help. No matter how badly, how obviously we need it. 

One of the hardest parts of our relationship of God is letting go of our pride. Even our perverse, self-injuring pride in bearing our burdens alone.

This matters, because the Psalmist calls God “The Lord who daily bears our burdens.”

The help you and I need each day to bear our burdens is ready and waiting. All for the asking.

Whatever burden you are carrying, know that you were never meant to carry it alone.

God is waiting to carry your burdens with you. If you’ll let Him.

this is my auntie’s kitty, Winnie, who I sometimes babysit. her main talents include Following Me Around and Meowing at Me Constantly and wiggling around on the couch worm-style. she has a very soft little tummy and she likes to roll over and expose it to you and meow until you try to touch it, at which point she brutally attacks your hand. then she shows her tummy and meows until you do it again.

Don't let that soft underbelly fool you! Soft tummy wiggler Winnie a real hunting master! With prices that won't fight back you too could have Winnie for only $14.53!
