Why? Because it's Tumblr ... My avatar was also removed, I had the same avatar as here, all you can do is spam their support

Tumblr's porn filter blocked Tumblr's images illustrating what Tumblr's porn filter won't block

All the pictures from my loverslab blog are hosted on tumblr, so that's a little concerning. But since my LL blog is still alive, it seems nothing got deleted, probably just moved to "not visible anymore".

 

Now I am interested in finding a new host. I didn't really go through the 7 pages but what is the most popular solution?

I've been using various image search topics to see just how much adult content is still on Tumblr yet is hidden from sight on site. The amount shouldn't really be surprising but there is a whole heap of it that can be reached through outside links.

Thanks for the answers.

 

I will try flickr I think. I don't care about the views there as long as I can link stuff and post my stories on LL

 

 

 

edit : little test. seems to work   well byebye tumblr

Luckily I deleted my main tumblr blog a while ago, my nsfw fanfiction and screens would have been the death of me. It was an honour being horny on main alt with all of you tonight - let the purge begin!

[Teratosexual Mess]

My SFW blog was flagged as adult before the purge. I think I got lucky because I submitted a review request before it happened. I was so sure I was going to be purged that my last post before the 17th was saying goodbye and telling the staff to suck my *insert picture of rainbow candy cock here*

ah yes good old tumblr i created account just for RP and ART and a lot of them are mature, but it's still possible right to put your adult stuff there? With the newest 'updates'? man i love adult comics and fanart there too bad seems like parents and prudes slowly get hold of it, ( that site) f*cking hypocrite i knew a lot of them also watch porn

[Charmandur]

All the hard work and time people put into making their content, just to have Tumblr block it or delete it because of a little nudity or anything that's adult content.

#RIP Tumblr

War, poverty and injustice all across the world but "Oh my, tumblr is being nasty".  So much easier to come over all self-righteous indignation on a site that has nothing to do with tumblr than actually get off your arse and do something about something important.

Is this available in English? No idea what 'nut up' means.

"Nut up" = "deal with it" or "get over it"

 

Why do we even care? Tumblr was just one platform and there are others out there if you know where to look. Take your ex-Tumblr content and just relocate to some other place. That's the great thing about the Internet: we have choices.

Thanks. So he meant get over it the way all these right-on, self-righteous, half-wits are doing with the tumblr thing.

Damn it. I think you're right. It was worth a shot, though. If I'd written the petition, it probably wouldn't have gotten as far as that one, though.

Where did most people go? During the initial period I saw most people linking to Twitter or Flickr but both are pretty different. Twitter's character limit makes it pretty limiting, and Flickr is designed for photobooks and lacks the flexibility of Tumblr that allowed having tags and also "pages" for users that also posted download links like mods.

Because it's part of a greater overall trend on the internet as a whole by big corporations to remove or ban LGBTQetc content (which is usually disproportionately adult, but even when it isn't is still complained about by narrow-minded corporate muppets). Tumblr was one of the last major mainstream sites which allowed such content. Whether this targeting of LGBTQ folks is intentional or just a side-effect (it certainly is intentional with at least some corporations) of a more general squeamishness over adult content doesn't matter; the end effect is the same.

 

Sure, people are free to move their content elsewhere, but now that basically means suboptimal sites with way fewer features (Twitter, lol), dedicated porn sites (far more likely to be blocked or messed with, and often more exploitative) or to shuffle off into separate little internet ghettos which make it far more difficult for already-marginalized people to build communities.

 

Never mind the additional misogynistic aspect of this purge. "Female-presenting nipples", LOL! Goddamn idiots afraid of some perfectly ordinary titties.

Okay, that's what I wanted to know. And what I feared.

I'm kidding but give it a couple years

I don't think this has anything to do with LGBT, honestly. The ban on "female-presenting nipples' also probably has more to do with avoiding the 'problematic male gaze' than it has to do with misogyny. Corporations usually have no problem parading around how inclusive and diverse their human worker zoos are as long as it is family friendly. It's a ban on adult content, simple as that.

Well, that's why I said that intent may or may not matter, but effect absolutely does.
