Ahora entiendo…

You’d think Tumblr would start with flagging or filtering posts that say “NSFW” or something similar or are on known NSFW blogs, but sure, go for pics of dogs and sweaters, I guess.

✨My online shop is finally up!✨ Please take a look if you want! If you have any questions, for instance regarding the google form format, please don’t hesitate to ask! Thank you!!

Signal boosts appreciated! (´･ω･`)

Once again, @staff punishes the lawful majority because of a few bad actors.

Not at all surprising considering the agendas they push. Let’s not pretend, @staff, that you’re at all for any kind of intellectual diversity or freedom of expression as you referenced in the second half. You know as well as I do which blogs have been getting deleted en masse despite having no harmful or explicit content.

More Examples of Flagged Posts

Apparently, these are in violation of @staff‘s completely rational new system.

Both of these were flagged for “adult content.” 

It isn’t allowing me to challenge either of these. 

Get it together, @staff. This post in itself is currently in appeal. Absolutely ludicrous.

[whatsyourcolor]

Someone flags these posts or they get automatically flagged?

[psychosibyl]

Automatically. Even when I uploaded these screenshots, it was immediately flagged.

[pillowfort-social]

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.)

Alternatives to Tumblr if Yahoo goes any further

Soup.io - well-known alternative to Tumblr. Reblogging, post types, themes, collab blogs, dashboard, artsy, great community already there. Soup can auto-import everything you’ve posted on Tumblr.

TypePad - Includes reblogging. Dashboard and post types similar to Tumblr.

Jux - Artful posts, beautiful blogging experience

[bollymusings]

Reblogging cause one day it just may be neccessary.

[arubbishmedic]

It became necessary

[mckaytriarchy-2-deactivated2018]

WordPress will also import Tumblr blogs.

[theveryworstthing]

i’ve gotten a lot of suggestions for pillowfort and mastodon and even newgrounds, but here are some other alternatives.

Tumblr in 2016: just because we got bought by Yahoo doesn’t mean we’re removing adult content, no worries, tumblr will never change !

Tumblr in 2018: ACTUALLY -

[the-ace-reader]

So, I’m currently writing an akumatized!Marinette fic and this is the artwork of her akuma form, Dame Justice!

Thank you to @zoe-oneesama for their advice on how to create an akumatized!Marinette and for their Little Devil AU and @lunian for their La Justice AU (I’m sorry my akumatized!Marinette has a similar name to yours, but I think my design and the reason behind the transformation is different enough that I hope it’s okay… also I legitimately couldn’t think of a better name).

I haven’t completed the fic with Dame Justice, but as soon as I do I will post it and let you all know!

Until then, please enjoy my drawings of Dame Justice!

It took me less than 5 minutes to sign up here! Nielsen is completely legit. They already pay people to watch TV, now they’re gonna pay me to watch vine compilations… I’m truly living in 3018 y’all

[lazyproblems]

[collegehackable]

@ all my followers who want easy money

Nielsen is amazing and I completely vouch for them. Pro-tip: to make the most money, you guys should join the panel on your computer AND your phone because they pay for each device that you connect. You can expect to earn about $50 from a single device. Nielsen also gives away $10,000 EACH MONTH. All you have to do is keep the app on your computer and you’ll be entered into their monthly sweepstakes. The top prize earners take home $1,000 each, and 400 people win cash prizes.

To everyone worried about what data they collect, this is from their website:

TL;DR they only want to know what websites you visit, and how much time you spend on these sites. They NEVER collect sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, login information, bank, or credit card information. So if you could use some extra cash, you honestly have nothing to lose. Google already collects (and sells) your data, the difference is that Nielsen wants to pay you.

They’ve been a trusted name since the 1920s, first measuring what radio stations peopled tuned into, next getting into television ratings, and now they want to measure the popularity of websites and online videos. So yes, you can quite literally get paid to watch youtube videos. What a time to be alive indeed.

From someone who’s survived MySpace, livejournal, deviantart, and fanfiction.nets’ content purges and bad policy updates, here’s some advice on how to get through tumblr’s recent bullshit:

- don’t knee jerk delete. I know it’s tempting to peace out immediately but hang on and do the other steps first. Out right ghosting and erasing everything is how fandoms die.

- archive everything on your blog you want to keep

- tell your followers how they can archive and keep your work too. A lot of fic and art were only saved from ff.net and lj because other people saved it first. If you’re cool with other people saving your work for them to personally keep, let them know this. You can absolutely discourage reposting but I really do highly recommend you allow people to personally save fic and art they like and are worried will disappear forever. Digital Dark Ages are a real thing.

- tell people where you’re jumping ship to. Give links. Keep that info up, even if you’ve left the site.

- go through who you follow and find out where else you can follow them. Save their work if they’ll allow it. It’s tedious as hell but if you want to keep up with people on here clicking on their page to check in is the best way to do it.

- support places like ao3. This is exactly why ao3 asks for donations a few times a year. They are a 100% anti-purging, judgement free, ad free non profit run by an elected board and protected by lawyers. Places like ao3 literally save fandom so please continue to support them and other similar archives. This is exactly why ao3 is so important.

Whatever your perspective on this latest tumblr news, I think it’s important acknowledge this:

As everyone’s been seeing and posting about themselves, tumblr’s doing a terrifyingly poor job of flagging adult content.

[kingofthewilderwest]

Update: this post itself was flagged.
