You know what’s up.

Tumblr is in a bit of a panic lately regarding policy changes. Due to the “family friendly atmosphere” Tumblr has expressed the desire to push, I predict our blog will be greatly affected. AnatomicalArt has always worked hard to be a source of educational anatomical reference material for artists (as well as providing artistic references for various other subjects). I predict that, if  Tumblr’s changes go through our blog will be greatly limited in the kind of material we will be able to share in future, including reference material for life drawing and basic anatomy reference.

Our team only exists in one other place outside of Tumblr, our Discord server.

https://discord.gg/Rx273Kq

If you would like to continue your artistic Journey with us, please come join our server. It’s a community of artists, for artists, helping artists improve. We share tutorials, have a communal feedback room, have a general chat space, a space for promoting job listings, and we post optional weekly art improvement exercises. Artists of all skill levels are welcome. Thanks for reading. Reblogs are greatly appreciated. (backup link) https://discord.gg/tU8Zcdr Yours sincerely, Admin @bonzlydoo

Here is everywhere I am currently present! My Twitter was dead for a bit but I am now making an effort to be more social there and post more. I post the most on instagram. And, I will be making a Pillowfort account, I’ll link that once I have it. 

I made these “internal” links, so tumblr won’t hide my post.

In case you missed it. I may continue trying to post here, but it depends. I’m pretty mad at tumblr/Verizon for what’s happening.

[hydrajen]

yeah no i don’t plan to continue posting on tumblr. I’m too mad.

[hydrajen]

I’m just so mad. As much as I’d like to continue posting here, for whoever’s left, I probably won’t. I want tumblr/Verizon to lose as many users and therefore money over this. 

I’ll jump in once in a while to maybe check notes/messages, but you’re much better off following me elsewhere. I made a post about that, but you can also find links to my other accounts at the top of my blog.

When Tumblr bans porn, who loses?

Verizon is leaving the engine of internet culture to sputter and die, and its communities to scramble for a new home.

A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September, shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.

Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure out how to better monetize.

On that note-

Two former Tumblr employees said they were alarmed when Khalaf chose Black Lives Matter as an example of a community that the company should focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge, “Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to [make] a ton of money.”

Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)

[pillowfort-social]

Reblogging this in light of the recent news, since we’ve been getting a lot of questions from people looking to join. If you’ve sent us a payment since the 16th of November you will receive your invitation email shortly after the site returns, which will likely be tomorrow! If you want to purchase more than one registration link ($5 per link, so $15 for example would get you 3 registration links) you can give them to anyone you want– the ones you purchase are not tied to your account in any way.

Now, Pillowfort will not always require a payment to sign up; we are doing this because we are still in the process of implementing our subscription plan, which will be our source of long-term revenue, and these payments through PayPal give us funding to make sure we can pay all our server expenses, employee compensation, etc. while we are still working on implementing our business plan. Once we exit beta you will be able to join the site and use all of its essential features for free, with the option to pay for some extra goodies similar to what LiveJournal and DreamWidth offer in their subscription plans.

Dear followers, 

I will probably continue updating my HYDRAJEN blog here on tumblr, but anything NSFW will go to Pillowfort. and, if Pillowfort proves to be better, i might migrate over there entirely. Once I get set up, I will post a link :)

[pillowfort-social]

In light of tumblr now no longer allowing "adult content" (like nsfw art/pictures) will pillowfort still allow nsfw content as long as it is properly marked? Because that decision has pretty much destroyed my already little faith in tumblr.

Yes, we plan to allow NSFW content with very few restrictions. I don’t have any particular insight into why Tumblr is making this decision but if I had to guess, it’s because allowing NSFW content conflicts with their need for the site to be marketable and safe for advertisers– Pillowfort on the other hand plans to derive most of its revenue from user subscriptions, meaning that we will be beholden to our actual userbase and not outside advertisers and can therefore have more leeway in what we can host.

[olderthannetfic]

The answer I’ve been waiting for!

I still want to see exactly what those few restrictions will be, but this is promising. It’s a sound business plan at least.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAS

[milagrosen]

we all better be stopping that Article 13

because if not then it’s good bye. It’s worse than this weird tumblr purge, no internet user has a good excuse not to search it up and find and do all the ways we can to stop it

[milagrosen]

Here, just few things that inform about Article 13. There are posts about these same links already but they don’t have enough notice as they should and spreading the word more is just better SaveTheInternet site which has everything you’d need to know and the possible consequences of Article 13 and also their petition A video by The Film Theory about Article 13. He explains it all very clearly and an easy way for everyone to understand. A lot of people have seen it but a chance someone hasn’t, it’s a good audio ‘n visual way to learn about it

[hydrajen]

this is important. I’m so fucking tired of fighting this every single year now, or even multiple times a year. but we can’t just give up.
