Tumblr to ban all adult content this month

(Anonymous) 2018-12-03 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/3/18123752/tumblr-adult-content-porn-ban-date-explicit-changes-why-safe-mode

I guess this means the reign of Tumblr is finally over. Where's fandom heading next?

I think the majority of fandom will stay on Tumblr. I think NSFW art will move to Twitter.

I don't think so. Everyone I follow is already posting alternate links elsewhere and prepping to move. Many peoples' sfw blogs have been flagged or taken down already.

It's stupid, I hate it, I hate the gatekeeping and corporatization of the Internet, I hate Apple, and I hate Verizon. It's just such a stupid change and I hate that we can't stop society from backsliding on stuff like this because we've given corporations and the wealthy all the power and money.

The problem with making a new website is that, to beat Tumblr, you have to have as much sharing and social capability as Tumblr, and I think most fan groups don't want to do that. And also, it's hard to build and fund a site that's built around image hosting and sharing, especially with adult content in mind, and not fuck it up completely, and not run it at a huge loss. I dunno if anyone's actually going to pull it off. It just bums me out so much and I didn't even use Tumblr that much.

I don't even go here, I just have a lot of feelings.gif

It's only images atm, written stuff is safe. For now.

Thanks to Apple for this, btw. As someone said, once the app got taken off istore or whatever the fuck it is apple uses, instead of admitting they did a shitty job with keep pedophilia and porn bots off their site, tumblr just decided to burn their house to the ground.

Yeah, that'll work wonderfully.

Re: Tumblr to ban all adult content this month

It kind of feels like this is a move that Tumblr was pretty happy to make anyway, and the Apple stuff just gave them a reason to finally pull the trigger.

But, yes.

I'm wary about saying written stuff is safe. I'm a writer and me and a bunch of writer friends all got our blogs deleted and have heard nothing from Tumblr about if we'll get them back :\ Their flagging and deleting systems are piss poor

I hate it because

a) I'm horrible at mass chats
b) I'm on bloody eurotime anyway
c) the ones I've been on have been full of teenagers. And no offense to the teens, honestly, but I prefer the choice of filtering out the complaints about homework and parents and omg only u gais understand me.

I guess it's Pixiv for me, which sucks because I don't understand Japanese (obviously I can still gawk at the pics, but I like reading small smut comics and the occasional speech bubble).

I prefer my porn drawn, which makes me extra salty, because... I totally understand wanting to purge lots of the IRL stuff, because -apart from the obvious bad stuff- unless it's from a professional movie, you never know where the stuff came from (and ofc the professional stuff also has its problems)... BUT I like my smut drawn which is objectively not hurting anyone (my bara tiddies Q_Q). :/

Not to mention all the tv shows and movies gifs... like, the tag for Harlots is pretty much empty now. D:

Here's what I don't get

(Anonymous) 2018-12-03 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
If the issue with Apps was adult content, how is Reddit allowed? How are a lot of things allowed? Because I have a hard time believing that every single App is squeaky clean. Just seems hypocritical to me.

Disclaimer: I don't use tumblr very often, so I'm not 100% clear on the whole story.

Re: Here's what I don't get

Actually, Reddit iOS apps are apparently very aggressive about not allowing access to NSFW content for exactly that reason

I'm wondering why we even care about the apps in the first place? I just access Reddit and such (don't use Tumblr) on browsers, even on my phone. Screw downloading apps.

I'd like to see fansites and forums come back. Fansites and forums are run by fans, so they don't have to deal with this crap.

Man I would LOVE a return to the fansite days of yore.

The only danger with fansites and forums is if a major host goes down or changes their policies, like when geocities finally kicked the bucket and took down half the fansites with it.

Aww, massive nostalgia. But I don't see it happening because things have become so streamlined, you want all your fandom stuff in one place these days.

I'd LOVE fansites back, but forums weren't all that great. Everyone always got cliqueish, harassed newbies, the mods played favourites (and were usually the admin's personal friends, so they got a free pass for being dicks), and so on and so forth. They were basically just mini-tumblrs, more or less. I'm certain there were good forums, I just can't recall a single one.

Crap. Quite a bit of my Tumblr is NSFW since when I get around to writing fic, it is always porny.

I started a new fandom blog a few months ago. I follow about 300 people and have 450 followers. Only one of the people I follow EVER reblogs anything porny and none of them make OC porn posts. The rest are just fandom blogs, although sometimes I will see some R rated fanfic cross my dash. I think my fandom-tumblr-circle will probably be fine unless they decide to leave tumblr out of pure spite.

Where's fandom heading next?

Twitter.

Edit: Also Instagram. I forgot Instagram was a thing.

A lot of artist where already moving to twitter, and a lot of people already had one from exposition from tumblr. After the whole tumblr fiasco the most logical move would be twitter. Hell, I saw tumblr trending on it this morning haha.

I've been hearing a decent amount of chatter about Pillowfort, but I'm wary about their ability to withstand a massive influx of users, being that their finding a security flaw resulted in the whole thing being taken down for over a week while they've been fixing it.

But then, it is in beta still, and it could end up viable! I hope it does. It's almost the exact halfway point between LJ/DW and Tumblr, which is all I've really wanted.

tbh it depresses me to see people moving to Insta or Twitter. Ignoring that those are even worse for written content than Tumblr was, I feel like fandom as a whole continues to never learn. Insta and Twitter don't care about you any more than Tumblr does. If anything the lessons of Tumblr's fall, of lj's decline, is that the safest place for fandom content is platforms created by fans. Dreamwidth and Pillowfort are really the better options but no, let's all migrate to another soulless corporate platform that only cares about how to mine your personal data and will fuck fandom over if it helps the bottom line.
