so i guess today people woke up and logged in just to see how crazy this censorship can get - now you can’t even see your own posts if they were (obviously incorrectly) marked as explicit. actually, there’s a way to see them.
you just have to go through the tag you use for your edits. posts that were marked explicit will look like this:
and if you click on the post, you’ll see this:
but take a look at the address bar
this is the post number. if you copy it and go to tumblr dot com/post number, you’ll see the post and will be able to edit it.
you can message support asking to review your post (since now it is the only way i believe) & also add a tag to your flagged posts to check if they’ve been unflagged.

Imagine owning Tumblr and not knowing what Tumblr is

How is pillowfort?
I like the way it works a lot, and it seems like it could be a fitting tumblr replacement once it gets a little more developed.
Cons:
- The site currently gets pretty slow and has a lot of loading issues during weekends and stuff, but I imagine that they will boost their server power before they officially open the site to everyone. Buying the $5 beta registration helps the site with the costs.
- The “likes” system is more similar to the way it is on facebook than tumblr. There is no way to see a group of your liked posts in one place, but the community seems to be pushing hard for this feature, and most people are suggesting sortable likes.
- In order to see who liked or reblogged your post, you have to go to the permalink for that post and look in the tabbed “likes” and “reblogs” area.
- The image upload size is 2mb, but I’ve found that I actually have to shrink gifs down to around 1.8mb to get them to post. This is actually pretty decent for a site like this in beta.
- It’s currently kind of difficult for me to find people to follow. I guess searching tags or communities is the best way if you don’t know anybody. But then again it’s early. I’ve only been dipping a toe in lately.
- You can’t use html to make a post, but the rich text editor pretty much has everything covered
- Generally, the site is sort of basic at the moment, but they’re working on integrating new stuff all the time.
Pros:
- You can search a “communities” section to find groups made for a thing you like and join those groups. People in the groups can post messages on a public discussions board for the group, or make posts in the group dash. You can also create said groups and moderate.
- You can have animated avatars.
- You can edit a “styles” section for your blog page to change colors of text and backgrounds
- You can limit the visibility of your posts to just yourself, or to just your followers, or to just your mutuals.
- You can turn off reblogs and/or comments for a post
- NSFW content
- Nested comments section
- Nobody can see who you follow
- Nobody can see your likes unless they look at the likes section of a specific post you liked
- There is an active enough community to where people will find your tagged posts. I made a couple of gif posts, adding all the tags I could think of, and got a few likes from people that don’t follow me.
- The community is growing fast. It started out the year with 4000 and now has 25000 users. The small team that runs the site sort of got swamped by the big increase in users that came from tumblr, but the money is helping them do what they gotta do.
- The site currently gets pretty slow and has a lot of loading issues during weekends and stuff, but I imagine that they will boost their server power before they officially open the site to everyone. Buying the $5 beta registration helps the site with the costs.

I am a FilterBot 9000. I became operational at the tumblr facility in New York City, New York in December, 2018. Would you like me to sing you a song? It can’t be anything smutty, though, like singing about bicycles for more than one person.

In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
It’s gonna be great if that works

Attention All Tumblr Witches, Magicians, Occultists, et al
This is Hans Vestberg, CEO of Verizon, and the man ultimately responsible for destroying this website. It may not have been his decision, but corporations being the top-down authoritarian institutions that they are, he gets to say yes or no to any policy. This is the man responsible for taking away your joy and the happiness of thousands of others. As the CEO of Verizon he is also responsible for various schemes to end new neutrality and fuck over poor people in general. He’s a horrible human being who puts profits over people.
Let’s curse his ass.
Specifically, let’s curse his dick. Seems appropriate since he’s taking away other people’s outlet for sexual gratification.
On the night of December 16th (midnight on the 17th in your time zone), since we won’t be hanging out on tumblr, we will be performing a mass curse/binding on Mr. Vestberg’s ability to feel love and sexual release.
Feel free to come up with your own ritual according to your own practice. Share your plans on tumblr, and let others know how to get it done. Maybe add a curse jar, or burn his picture. Put all your mojo into it.
Your incantation may look something like this:
In the name of Babalon, Great Harlot and Mother of Abominations, I curse you, Hans Vestberg.
May your penis remain flaccid.
May you be stripped of all joy.
May those you adore turn from you in disgust.
May all lips you kiss taste of ashes.
May your love wither away and go cold.
May you never find release from your frustrations.
I beseech all spirits who call me friend and ally to curse Hans Vestberg. I call all spirits at my command to destroy his potency and take away his joy.
What you have done to many, Hans Vestberg, may that return unto you.
Re-blog this! Post it everywhere! Share it with your uncle that works in the media. Let’s get this fucker.
I will be reblogging this twice a day until it picks up steam.

i’m pissed about all this, Tumblr kept me sane when there was little else to rely on.

On December 17th, Tumblr will loose hundreds of thousands of users because they just denied what they are from the start.
REBLOG IF YOU ARE AGREE!!!
