This is my first post on Tumblr, made back in August of 2010. To date, Cyrillic Typewriter remains the longest-going journaling project I’ve ever kept up with.
I am not certain what I’m going to do with it now. It’s been mostly a repository for my art, events, and little things I’ve seen and done, and I hate making that go away, but….
But.
But. Even though the newest terms of service don’t necessarily affect to me or this blog, I don’t find it acceptable to subject my work to an algorithmic digital shoggoth which only exists to suppress expression which harms no one.
I—very literally—did not sign up for that. The new TOS supplied by @staff has made it clear that this is what I can expect going forward. I appreciate that Tumblr needs to earn its coin somewhere, but I do not accept the new terms by which they’ve chosen to do so.
So I think this blog and pretty much all of my projects hosted here will be leaving to take root elsewhere. I will post announcements accordingly once I know how things shake out. That means:
Game Restart Game Dev and Retroflection Blog
Microgiant Photoblog
Tiki Cosmonaut An Art Blog of Odyssey and Mystery
…will be eventually relocated elsewhere.
Cyrillic Typewriter itself will probably remain intact here, for as long as can be managed (this is likely entirely up to the policies set by @staff). There are posts which I require remain visible and public for reasons which are uninteresting to algorithms but which may eventually find themselves flagged. If I remain with Tumblr, that will remain my sole point of interaction here, being the primary blog. But I will no longer be sharing my art here. Like I said, I prefer to not subject my work to any algorithmic mayhem—and Tumblr did not even ask.
Fair enough. There was (emphasis on the past tense) a lot to like about this service, but it appears to have outmoded itself.
I would like to be argued out of this position. It would be easier to remain. Tumblr has been technologically very convenient for someone like me. Migrations take time, and a lot of work, and I’m not fond of administration when it comes to my own sites on the best of days. It is a chore which absorbs effort and energy which should be best spent more towards doing art.
But I don’t think Tumblr offers anything other places—even places I could make myself—can offer.
Reblogging for coverage.
