Sure, protest, but you donāt want tumblr to reverse their decision and hereās why:
#Tumblr is a platform that wasnāt built for the wayĀ āweāve been using it and as long as we rely on these sorts of stop-gap measures temporarily, this will keep happening. I am super sad that I wonāt be able to access the adult content creators and curators who inspired me and so many others. That being said, if we want to live in a world where adult content isnāt dominated by PornHub-like conglomerates, curators and independent creators are treated fairly, we need to explore real solutions and also alter our expectations accordingly.
For now, here is my do and donāt list:
Step 1: Export your blog and make a backup of it. More details here:Ā https://tumblr.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005118894-Export-your-blog
Step 2: Donāt cancel your account or get your account cancelled on purpose because youāve built an amazing network and relationships here. Until most of us can agree on a viable option, keep your account alive.
Step 3: Do make noise, protest and participate in any onlineĀ āwalkoutā that you see fit such as the one @yayroos suggested inĀ http://yayroos.tumblr.com/post/180924473401/do
Step 4: Engage in meaningful conversation about how you imagine an alternative platform.
Iāll be reaching out to some of you to test out alternatives so please feel free to do the same.
Much love and respect!
