Rip
Dammit! Damnit! Dammit!
Now I gotta go back up all my blogs and erase all my shit! There goes 3 days!
Fuck!
If you need to backup your blog use hyperimage, it won't download vids but it will grab all the pics and gifs.
I got over 200k followers on Tumblr. If I erase my content I can at least hold onto the blogs.
They some bustas for this shit!!
Where at? I'll sign.Still time to archive and use that 8tb drive
Well their platform will be gone by next June...wrong move indeed
You just wake up, bruh?
Welp, it's been real tumblr....
Thanks.
It's crazy to think they're trying to shut this down. They must really think PC white America has more reach than what it is right now.
I just reblogged this on all my blogs. I'ma fight this shit!
Sounds like the folks behind Tumblr have a stake in those Premium Snapchat sites like OnlyFans. It's the Hulu business model, get the market hooked on a free service for years, then slap a paywall in front of it to get your ROI.
Ain't going to be any point to tumblr anymore. I just need to know where the new spot will be.
Tumblr is already flagging innocent posts as porn
As part of Tumblr’s new ban on adult content by December 17th

Tumblr announced earlier today that it will ban all adult content on the platform, starting on December 17th. Now, longtime users are criticizing the company’s auto-detecting algorithms, which appear to be incorrectly flagging some inoffensive images as explicit.
Tumblr is giving users until the start date of the ban later this month to appeal, but the inaccuracies are causing concern that blanket bans on such content could sweep up inoffensive posts and continue to drive a wedge between creators and the Tumblr platform. The algorithms were originally a part of Safe Mode, which is now being replaced with a full-site ban on adult content.
PHOTOS OF DILDOS HAD FLOWN UNDER THE ALGORITHM’S RADAR
The ban is supposed to include all explicit sexual content and nudity, with a few exceptions such as breastfeeding and nude classical statues. Tumblr explained its decision this morning in clear terms, writing, “Adult content will no longer be allowed here. While we do not judge anyone for their desire to post, engage with, or view this stuff, it is time for us to change our relationship with it.”
Technically, any illustrations that feature sex acts are also banned, while nude illustrations are okay. But a litany of examples gaining steam on Twitter and other forums is highlighting how the underlying software is capable of making serious errors.
One person saw a vase and photos of tights get flagged as explicit. The user noted that photos of dildos had flown under the algorithm’s radar, however. Another artist’s illustration of a witch floating among kelp was also incorrectly flagged. Yet another artist saw their illustrations of people running around and swimming get flagged.
To be fair, these are all mistakes that Tumblr appears to have foreseen. As CEO Jeff D’Onofrio said in a blog post, “We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes.” The Tumblr staff post further explained that “computers are better than humans at scaling process — and we need them for that — but they’re not as good at making nuanced, contextual decisions.” The company says it will be “an evolving process for all of us, and we’re committed to getting this right.”
All of the mistakenly flagged content can be appealed, but it’s just additional paperwork for the many users on Tumblr who don’t post explicit content and are nonetheless finding themselves mistakenly targeted. For now, it’s just creating a way for Tumblr fans to vent about a policy some are unhappy with.

Stuff that's already there up until the 17th will be marked private. In the meantime you can go into your settings and download your entire blog as a zip. Also you can rip other blogs before they go to shit. https://www.bgol.us/forum/threads/w...-while-you-can-still-see-those-blogs.1028532/
This was and is always the spot. We'll just go back using free image hosts like we did for a long time before there was a tumblr. I already started.

Tumblr Announces Complete Adult & NSFW Content Ban
The beginning of the end?
By Nicolaus Li · 57 Mins ago in Tech
In a move to shake its NSFW reputation, Tumblr has announced an upcoming sweeping-ban on adult content.
The move is just the latest in a string of policy changes that have come after the social media platform’s parent company, Yahoo, was acquired by Verizon. It is also interesting to note that the announcement comes just weeks after Tumblr’s iOS app was temporarily pulled from the App Store for child pornography.
Later this month Tumblr will be launching an advanced algorithm to remove “photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depict sex acts” from the site completely. But, “written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations” will still be allowed on the platform. Other permitted content includes breastfeeding and health-related material.
For years now, Tumblr’s openness to NSFW content has given it a reputation as a hub for communities to share their genre of adult content. Despite the undeniable exodus of a sizeable group of users coming, Tumblr CEO Jeff D’Onofrio notesthat the move will create “the most welcoming environment possible for our community.”
Head over to Tumblr now to learn more about the strict adult content policy coming December 17.

They killing it for the pervs
I really can't put into words how crushed I am.
Welp. Out with the old, in with the new.
Who did not see this months ago when backpages and craigslist did their escort cleansing?
Yeah no surprise especially since they started restricting access to adult content, look for twitter to do the same IMO.
I predict twitter will be next.
