Decided to arrange a welcome for Tumblr refugees, so Toot! is 50% off on the App Store today! Grab it now if you haven't - this is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as any future sale will not be the same sale as this one, which is the Tumblr refugee sale.
Go go go! https://itunes.apple.com/app/toot/id1229021451?ls=1&mt=8
It's a good client. It's the best client. Well, it is at least the client with the most secret easter egg games.
People asking for a federated version of tumblr? technically it's existed for quite some time now https://github.com/Plume-org/Plume
The new rules specifically ban real life depictions of sexual organs in a sexual context, and any graphic depiction of a sex act.
Other NSFW stuff is still allowed. Fetishes are still allowed. Erotica is still allowed. Nude fanart of the Onceler is still allowed.
Tumblr also in September introduced new rules that made expressing anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments on the site a bannable offense. I doubt their intentions are malicious here.
Why bother continuing that huge sunk effort and sunk cost, to continue supporting something that isn't even a major component of the site, when you can just… not?
Hashtag unpopular opinion, but I think Tumblr’s policy change is sensible given the circumstances.
They currently spend a fuckton of resources hosting pornographic content whilst trying to shield it from minors and search engines, and complying with the regional laws of hundreds of countries, and the rules of various online marketplaces.
They probably have a whole team of people whose entire job is to look through images of the most disgusting, depraved stuff to make sure it's not child porn.
I'd like to go to north Yorkshire; York, Carlisle, the like. I went there a bunch of times when I was young, but less so after entering my teens and moving further south.
