Update on Migrating to Wordpress
Back up your block somewhere else as well.
Iāve been forwarded the content guidelines for Wordpress, and while they do allow nudity, they do not allow visually explicit pornography, not even drawings.
We do permit mature content on WordPress.com, including text, images and videos that contain nudity, offensive language, and mature subject material. However, blogs that contain such content mustĀ be marked as Mature in our system.
If you are publishing a blog that you expect will contain content that is intended for mature audiences, we ask that you provide us the courtesy of reporting your blog or websiteĀ here.
A blog or website that is marked as Mature is excluded from public areas of the WordPress.com service. This means:
ā¢ It will not appear in the Reader or other tag listings
ā¢ It will not appear in Top Blogs listings, recent posts, or related posts listings on other blogs
ā¢ The blogās users cannot use that URL as a link in their WordPress.com Forums profile
Mature blogs and their owners are permitted to utilize all other aspects of WordPress.com. We do not suspend blogs solely for the presence of mature content and there are no interstitials or other āage gatesā on WordPress.com.
However, there are limitations to the mature content permitted on our service. Please donāt:
ā¢ Post visual depictions of sexually explicit acts (such as, but not limited to, images, videos, and drawings) that can be considered pornographic;
ā¢ Post links or ads to adult-oriented affiliate networks, such as pornography site signups;
ā¢ Post links, text, or images promoting or advertising escort or erotic services;
ā¢ Post images of extreme violence or gore without associated context or commentary;
ā¢ Post images of child pornography;
ā¢ Post content that promotes pedophilia, such as blogs with galleries of images of children where the images, content surrounding the images, or the intent of the blog is sexually suggestive.
Blogs found to be hosting the above material will be suspended. In cases of child pornography, we willĀ report all incidences to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and fully cooperate with law enforcement.
I would hope that completely private blogs would not be flagged, but make sure that you back up your blog elsewhere, if it has any NSFW.
This seems not to include NSFW text, so fic should still be okay, but AO3 is really probably best for this.
Wordpress is still an option for fic and fanart, but is probably not the best option for porn. (Even the excellently curated blogs that can be found on Tumblr. Am I bitter? Yes.)
Iāve been seeing a lot of support for Dreamwidth. Though I donāt use it myself, itās definitely a good option. Pillowfort is still inder construction and doesnāt seem to have a long term finance plan, but itās probably worth getting an account and trying it out.
Windows has a LOT of options, including Tumblthree (which seems to back up likes?!? Which would be awesome) and the tumblr backup solution with python on Github. https://github.com/bbolli/tumblr-utils/blob/master/tumblr_backup.md
I havenāt found a good one for Mac yet, but Iām on the hunt.
Tumblr has a native export option, but I havenāt gotten it to work for me yet? Which doesnāt mean that it doesnāt work.
Guys. This post has gotten over 14k notes in 4 hours. Iāve seen very few of the comments.
But some of them mentioned that they werenāt seeing the free option? I donāt know, guys, I still see it. Maybe itās a country issue? Dreamwidth is absolutely free, if nothing else.
Again. 14k notes. Iām sure their servers are heavily overloaded. Be patient. Set up your computer somewhere plugged in and come back tomorrow. Mine is 4 hours into 8k posts and less than a Ā¼th of the way through. Itās gonna take a while.
There is also a petition up to change Tumblrās mind on this situation.
https://www.change.org/p/tumblr-com-allow-nsfw-content-on-tumblr
Who knows if it would work, but itās worth signing.
Does tumblr have a porn bot and actually illegal child porn problem? Yes.
Is the solution to that the nuke the blogs of a bunch of consenting adults? No.
Hopefully this is all a passing storm that will result in them getting their act together.
Am I hopeful? No. But itās worth signing.
Wordpress is a possible solution for text-based fandom, but itās not the new tumblr.
DONāT PANIC, at the risk of plagiarizing Douglas Adams. Backup, protect your stuff, let people know where to find you, but donāt panic.
Iām personally gonna continue to use this site until it implodes, which it might not even do. Itās my main social media platform, and I do have some hope that they might pull their heads out of their asses.
Iām tagging the hell out of this again, and I would really appreciate it if everyone could reblog this just as far as the previous one. Iāve tagged as many people as tumblr will let me XD
