Okay, so how do I make it so my Tumblr is no longer marked as explicit per the old guidelines? Is there even a way, because I would love to come back and start sharing once again!

I like this very much. <3
My God 😍
God yes
Nope..
Honestly not even worth my effort. I bid farewell to anyone who sees this. I'm officially deleting this app.. If anything changes I shall return. But until then, Goodbye.
NSFW ban fail
Reblog if you’re still seeing porn bots despite the NSFW ban. I’m still seeing them. Plenty of legitimate followers seem to be blocked from my feed, however.
Anyone home?
So when you die, you can no longer set your profile pic? That's lame. I dont even know if anyone can see this post! Am I forever alone?
We gotta talk about the elephant in the room.
Okay, I’ve been on this website for a while with over five different blogs and I love it to death even tho its seen a ton of shit hit the fan. I know that the people moderating this website just shot themselves in the foot taking action too late for a problem that people were point out, making articles, tagging the staff in, and even making entire blogs devoted to getting rid of the bots. I still remember when they starting showing up, still routinely block them, and if asked, could go on in great detail about how they slowly took over.
Which leads me to my concern. I’ve never seen a mass Exodus of this hellsite quite like this. I still remember the Dashcon disaster of summer 2014 and how it killed off the SuperWhoLock fandom (which to this day we still have no idea how one of those things caused the other). I remember people trying to figure out how to stop art stealing from happening since last year or so, a problem that hasn’t fully been solved. And…I remember when a CERTAIN fandom came back from a hiatus and caused a few site to crash due to servers getting clogged, tumblr was almost included in that.
But along with all the bad, there’s also good. I found a place to find funny memes when I was going through depression, found blogs that taught me to be a better artist, environmentalist, adult, and activist; learned things about my personal and mental health, the LGBTQIA+ community and other cultures that the american education system refused to tell me, among many other wonderful things.
When I first heard of people moving to other websites I was skeptical at first but now this is getting so widespread I’m starting to wonder if this new policy will even save the website or if it’s gonna loose so much foot traffic it’s gonna shutdown. And this comes two months after I started this blog, which is still gaining more and more followers every day. I have more followers on this young sideblog than I do on my mains. I’m sad to think that it might all come to an end soon and my work will be for nothing if everyone is willing to kiss this app goodbye for good over a policy that, while I don’t necessarily agree with it, is going to make or break Tumblr.
If this place shuts down I don’t know what I’m gonna do in terms of moving to another social media platform. I finally found a form of grassroots activism I wanted to get heavily involved in and am participating in the Solarpunk community though this blog, but now I don’t know where to find that outside of Tumblr. I have several options but all of them don’t make me as fullfilled as staying on Tumblr.
TL;DR, I’m not gonna log off for good. At least not yet. There’s still plenty of ways to be an activist on here even if this new policy is pretty sexist and a lot of other things. I’m still gonna stay to support and spread ideas of activism and unionizing, but this has me miffed to say the least and I’m still looking into other options.
Everyone in the plant based/solarpunk/environmentalism community, what do you think? and are you going to another social media site? which one?
I already see the effect. My dashboard is slower and it seems there's no real interaction amongst my fandom. Kinda sad. :/ I hope it gets better.
Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

This is blatantly untrue
Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.
Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)
Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,
DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.
Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.

Censored on tumblr
What all ask boxes look like for me (submission boxes look exactly the same):
Left: what happens when I try to open dms (New Message does nothing); I can’t even read them. Right: when I try to go to someone’s dms from their blog.
Neither new things I post nor old things I post show up in the tags they’re in, even if they were before.
I can type things into replies, but it won’t actually post them.
Since it doesn’t seem this one has been encountered by many people yet, maybe reblog this so people know about it. I’m probably getting deleted though
Tumblr is shadowbanning people and they aren’t even trying to be subtle about it.
Please spread the word.
I’m glad this is spreading but simultaneously it makes it sound like the shadowban is much less severe than it is because I didn’t realize, and this shadowban is so severe I can’t even add on / tell anyone that.
All my likes, reblogs, and replies are hidden from the notes of EVERY post.
When I like or rb things it doesn’t show notes in someone’s activity / dash, except long-time followers (not sure about the exact cutoff/conditions).
If I reblogged and added something to this from a non-follower they wouldn’t even know. Check and see: my rb’s don’t even show up in the notes. So people couldn’t even find out I added something on by checking the notes either:
Not to mention: I’m hidden from all searches, can’t be @’d, past @’s of me are hidden from my notes, I don’t get notified when people reply to a post I replied to, my @’s don’t give notes, and every search on my blog is blanked. I can’t even ask/submit to myself even with anons, and lots more.
Oh, yeah, and: MY BLOG ISN’T EVEN MARKED NSFW. Every flagged post I’ve found was restored. But every flagged post you contest brings attention to you that risks you just getting shadowbanned randomly.
THIS is the version that should get spread around…
Holy shit this is terrible. Another reason I’m leaving this site.
I can’t believe porn bots are still bugging me
Good job @staff with destroying this place and ignoring its users
They've been following me as well.
Is everything just slow?
Or does it seem like my news feed is empty.. actually kinda sad..

A better, more positive Tumblr
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So what’s next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.
