December 17th - a rescue plan
Some good news, Iāve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.
Iām not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you itās mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (Itās not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. Itās not Pillowfort, thatās in closed beta. Itās not Ello, thatās mainly for artists. Itās not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. Itās not jux, that seems to be closed. Itās not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)
One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they donāt want a āland grabā where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.
More info over the days to come.
The plan is, broadly:
1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there
2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.
3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.
4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any āflaggedā posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.
Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.
There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.
The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.
If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become āyourā original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.
Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.
(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - thatās just too much to do, in the short time available.)
If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.
If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.
(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. Itās best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)
If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If itās reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.
Obviously, you will lose access, after December 17th, to all past posts you have liked, if Tumblr has flagged them as NSFW. Again, the steps (1), or (2A) and (2B) covered above will be the only way to hold on to these posts.
Oh I so hope this works. It would be great to get this out so we can try to get as many people as possible all back in one place and not split up all over different platforms.
Please reblog
Hereās hoping
everyone who seeās this from Me PLEASE reblog this!

OPEN LETTERĀ
To: Tumblr Jeff DāOnofrio, Tumblr CEO New York City, New York, United States
Dear Jeff DāOnofrio,
On December 17, Tumblr will be banning porn from its site.
By banning āadult contentā from your website in truth you categorically ban sex workers regardless of how they are using your platform. You cut them off from the ability to build an audience for their work, and whatās even worse, you declare their very existence as obscene.
Tumblr allows every content creator, artist, or small entrepreneur to build an audience and communicate with this audience at any moment in time - if you do not work in the adult industry of course.
Many brands use social media to sell products. Social media and eCommerce are interlocked. You take this now away from every adult content creator around the globe. And that is wrong.
You mentioned in aĀ blog postĀ titled āA better, more positive Tumblrā:
āThere is 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.ā
You are wrong: There is a shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content, in particular when it comes to shadowbanning and the ability to also advertise on these sites.
Look, here is what we do:
SharesomeĀ is a site that welcomes all the people that you just kicked off your platform. You gave them time until December 17th to export a backup of their blog to save their years of work. Meanwhile we will develop an import tool, so they can move to us, and we leave you with all the white supremacist Nazi blogs ā because we ban that kind of shit.
Regards,
Tudor BoldĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ralf Kappe CEO, Sharesome Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Founder, Sharesome
Posting for reference and for others to see.
@instructor144 did you see this?
I did not.
Reblog the shit out of this.
Letās reblog like hell
Tumblr Inquisition
When did freedom of expression suddenly become an online crime? When did an attack on a specific subset of any group ever work to the benefit of any institution?
In this bloggers humble opinion, Tumblrās December 17th forced genocide of Adult Content blogs is just another example of how our society is slipping backwards in its level of tolerance towards anything that is different, preferring to have this type of content hidden away, and marked with a scarlet letter of intolerance and shame.
Are there issues revolving around certain types of blogs Yes. Child pornography and other unacceptably content is abhorrent to all. Is Tumblr going after those specific types of blogs? No. Are they setting up a system that blocks minors from accessing adult content blogs? No. They are preferring to follow a simplistic ānuke it allā approach rather than address the overall problem. Taking a M.A.D (mutually assured destruction) approach, can only end in one way, for without adult content, Tumblr will die off.
So my friends and followers(93k amazing individuals), I challenge you to reblog this note, and challenge Tumblrās decision. Perhaps, if enough of us stand up and protest some good will come of it. Resist, and fight the good, and honourable, fight.
Oh Bugger
Oh well, it looks like the end is near, Tumblr is going to close down blogs like mine, and all the blogs I follow, effectively, by not allowing anymore posts that you, and I share with each other. Tumblr will dissolve into a place of sweetness, and light. Which is utterly boring, so Iāll be off seeking strange new worlds elsewhere. Iāll let this blog die a natural death, so if you want any of the images I have posted, grab them now before they become ghosts in a dead Tumblr house. Iām not going to relocate this blog, Iāve spent a lot of time, seeking out images, and receiving them by email. A lot of work. Iāve enjoyed myself, and I hope any followers reading this have too. But to start again somewhere else, well, I donāt think I can go through all that again. I wish you all the very best, and hope you can all find a different place to play. My imagination still works, so Iāll be fine, and Google is a good companion. The 17th of December, is when it all begins to end. Thank you Tumblr for all the good times, but also go, and prepare yourself for the loss of so many people Tumblr itself will possibly drop dead. It most definitely has been fun. ;-) XX
Yup, that pretty much sums it up for me as well. It's been fun. Thanks for following.
I love where I am. Iām excited about where I think all this is going. But hereās a little throwback to Zach, one of my all-time favorite models. This incredibly gorgeous man gave me a chance when no one knew who I was, or what I was doing. I will be forever grateful to him. šā¤ļøš»š„
