People are already patting themselves in the back and talking about how they are such pure cinnamon rolls that these new guidelines will never affect them and…did you forget last time tumblr tried to automatically flag stuff as adult content? When completely SFW posts that had words like “gay” in it or too much “skin tone” detected were just censored? Are you really willing to bet on staff’s competence?
It’s already bad enough you are completely disregarding adult sex workers and decent NSFW artists who use tumblr as a platform and depend of it to live, but you are also dense enough to think no SFW blogs or content will be negatively affected? Take a break from your softboy~* routines and try to grasp just how bad staff is about to fuck up.
just to be clear, I’m staying here as long as this site functions. I have 0 intentions of deleting this blog, I will go down with this ship if only to see exactly how bad it gets
Guess I’ll start putting more work into getting my pillowfort actually functional and maybe make a fandom twitter even though I don’t like the way it works.
I’m koneko713 on pillowfort if anyone wants to find me there, and once the site is up again I can get a few new user keys to give away.
Update: I now have a Twitter @koneko713 if anyone wants to follow. I still don’t know how it works really.
I don’t want to sensationalize but this type of moderation has a history, even on this site, of flagging any LGBT community content as nsfw, wholesale, and in this case that means removing it completely. Handwaving that we can just ‘go to some other porn site’ is a slap in the face.

Well this is a great way to start my Monday…

“lol the only people mad about the tumblr announcement just want porn lol”
Yeah, no.
Tumblr blocked the tag “chronic pain” in this mess for no reason
They’re flagging commonly used tags by queer people, sex educators, and artists who make their fucking LIVING on tumblr
They’re gonna take down genuine sex workers because they didn’t curb
the problem with spamming porn bots YEARS ago when tumblr users REPORTED
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND *OVER* that it was a problem
Tumblr
IGNORED the bots, IGNORED the problems, and honestly treated it like
NOTHING until their app was taken off a store due to it.
They’re
fucking over a shit-ton of REAL PEOPLE who rely on tumblr for community
and/or income because they ignored users’ complaints about shitty porn
bots for YEARS until it had financial consequences
I can no longer even talk about chronic pain without the post being blocked from searches
I have drawn one or two nude pieces on my art tumblr which is 99% safe
for work but now I’m worried the blog will be taken down entirely
because Tumblr won’t bother differentiating between spam and REAL PEOPLE
just trying to live their goddamn lives
And god forbid I want to
talk about bisexuality or sex or kink in just… MY LIFE. As a
normal-ass human being who just wants to TALK ABOUT HUMAN THINGS
No, their solution to nuke a problem they’ve ignored for years is to take us all down at once
So maybe don’t laugh about “oh no not my pornz” because 1. plenty of
that ~porn~ is made by actual humans making their living and 2. WAY MORE
than “just porn” is being targeted
This along with Facebook
continuously upholding white supremacy by letting nazi shit fly by while
they ban people for speaking out against their oppressors and it’s
basically like we’re running out of truly free places to just… BE
