Tumblr banning porn only to get bought out by pornhub like 6 months later is poetic cinema.

#First reblog after months

[redvelvetcapaldi]

Eventually the site will end up as one giant flag hive and will die like a neutron star, collapsing inside.

Okay I-- WHAT?

This one’s new.

“This post was flagged because somewhere in your reblog there might be adult content“

Somewhere in my–

SOMEWHERE? In MY REBLOG?

@staff You flagged a WHOLE DAMN POST BECAUSE SOMEWHERE in my REBLOG - which was reblogged by, and is being reblogged by, literally anyone and anyone - there - wait for it - MIGHT be adult content?!??!

What does that–

Are you seriously–

Do you seriously not see the flaw here? 

Are you saying, that one person - one VERY determined person - could go around and reblog ANY POST they like, and add f*male n*pples to it, and you would automatically flag that WHOLE post?

THE REBLOG DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY ADULT CONTENT. IT’S A COMIC. ABOUT A CARTOON. IT’S A–

 I’m done.

Please tell me that there was at least one asshole Muggleborn kid who refused to call teachers professor

“Mr. Snape?”

“It’s professor Snape”

“Do you have a doctorate degree?”

“… no”

“Okay then Mr. Snape”

“this is why we need a platform with 0 censorship!” no its not actually, because this platform was ridden with fucking child porn

One day Edward gets a call from Jacob and he’s like “DUDE TURN ON GHOST ADVENTURES RIGHT NOW THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT YOU” and they’re in an old “haunted” Chicago hospital and Zak Bagans says “one of the victims of the Spanish influenza was a seventeen year old boy named Edward who disappeared with no trace one day. Will we come into contact with his spirit tonight?” And Edward of course has to sit down and watch the whole thing and every time they hear anything they’re like “EDWARD? IS THAT YOU?” And Edward just yells at the screen “YEAH, MAYBE”

The family eventually gets a whiteboard to keep track of how many times they’ve each been featured on a ghost hunting show. Alice is in the lead.

tumblr users who’ve been here for 6+ years of stupid changes and know that a 1 day protest won’t change a thing

Not a film, but the TV show The Thick Of It is pure perfection

[redvelvetcapaldi]

I’m…. What? @staff

#This whole thing is so f ridiculous

In light of tumblr now no longer allowing "adult content" (like nsfw art/pictures) will pillowfort still allow nsfw content as long as it is properly marked? Because that decision has pretty much destroyed my already little faith in tumblr.

Yes, we plan to allow NSFW content with very few restrictions. I don’t have any particular insight into why Tumblr is making this decision but if I had to guess, it’s because allowing NSFW content conflicts with their need for the site to be marketable and safe for advertisers– Pillowfort on the other hand plans to derive most of its revenue from user subscriptions, meaning that we will be beholden to our actual userbase and not outside advertisers and can therefore have more leeway in what we can host.

Tumblr  on december 17th

[redvelvetcapaldi]

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.
