Ha ha, no, of course not.

Yahoo is a notorious repeat offender. Yahoo is the reason the “if you’re not paying money for a service, then you’re not a customer, you’re the product.” saying exists.

Here is some fully general advice: If you’re the user of a free-to-use website, and you learn that it’s being bought by a large company, then this is always, and forever, bad news. If it’s not an acquihire, then it’s something worse. You’re not a customer, you’re the product.

If we’re lucky, this will be a Livejournal-style buyout, where the site just gradually disintegrates over the course of several years. If we’re unlucky, then it’ll be a Posterous-style buyout, and Tumblr will be shut down when Yahoo goes bankrupt in six months. It is vanishingly unlikely that being owned by Yahoo will benefit Tumblr users at all.

Predictions:

More ads. Karp has a weirdly principled dislike of ads, for a guy running a free social network. Marissa Mayer is unencumbered by morals, here. If you spend a billion dollars on something, you’re gonna want a return on income.

NSFW content is probably going to be banned, or heavily restricted. (As in, “verify your age by giving us a credit card number”) Ad networks hate and fear porn, and Yahoo is going to run more ads. No other Yahoo property allows NSFW content, for precisely this reason.

They might try to restrict fan content, due to copyright/CP concerns, as Livejournal did; they might not.

Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!

The prophecy was right there and we all ignored it.

So what now?

Like everyone else on Tumblr, this morning I woke up to the news that Tumblr will start prohibiting “adult content”. I’ve already received a few messages from followers asking me if I think this will affect DD/lg blogs, asking if it will affect my blog.

First, my blog is staying. I started my blog with the intent to create a safe space for people in the DD/lg community, with the purpose of sharing something that I love, and with the hope that I would be able to connect with other like-minded people. I have no intention of giving that up, and while I will be backing up my content and maybe transferring it somewhere else (I’m open to suggestions if anyone knows of other platforms that would be good for this), I will still be keeping this blog and posting as often as I can.

Second, will it affect other DD/lg blogs? Probably. From what I’ve gathered, this policy seems to be targeting sexualized nudity as the “adult content” they are trying to ban. So, I’m assuming that DD/lg blogs that post porn or nude images will probably fall under this category, but I truly have no way of knowing for sure. My blog has never had any nudity or porn, so in that sense, I guess I’m “safe” enough for Tumblr.

And finally, this sucks. I won’t go on a rant (my Daddy already had to listen to that this morning), but I will say that its unfortunate that Tumblr has taken this stance. Tumblr allowed many communities to blossom, including a community that I am proud to be a part of, and also provided a platform for many sex-positive and kink-friendly blogs. It’s a shame those blogs will now be censored, and some even chased off (I’m thinking of Bluewildcat71, that was an awesome blog, seriously, I miss it), but all we can do is continue to post and share. Or as I had to remind myself, no time for whining, it’s time to put my big girl panties on.
