This is important. Tumblr’s not banning porn out of the blue. Apple has done this to multiple platforms in the past. Part of the reason VR headsets don’t do porn is because Apple told them there would be consequences if they did.
I think so. I hope my page remains but I cant be sure. I need to find a way to export my blog that doesnt require hella memory and time (lmk, if u know how)
I will say, the vibe here atm is affirming, considering all other site updates and subsequent exoduses have been met with an air of cynicism that I never did like. it seems like now ppl are being honest abt the importance of what this site meant to them. obviously it’s not that serious but a lot of folks are lying to themselves by acting like it never really mattered
my time here spans a decade. Except for the annual hiatus… I never deleted, never remade, never even changed my username lol. it’s kind of gross when I think about how much time I devoted to tumblr but it is what it is. I was fresh out of high school, just starting college when I started tumblr and the user experience was everything i needed. it was the perfect platform to share my art and writing. being in an artistic and mostly queer space really elevated my work and helped me come into my own tbh. I learned sfm and connected with amazing people.
I was a kid when I started and now I’m old bitch! my archives chronicle almost the entirety of my twenties…wild. I figure this is a sign to move on. tumblr has contributed to my avoidance in a lot of ways because I got here what I was too scared to seek irl. and that’s the real tea. so maybe it’s time to like actually close this chapter and finally go outside
So wild that instead of guidelines online moving towards no kind of body being considered inherently sexual and inappropriate we’ve gone onto like explicitly admitting that it’s the association of a body w womanhood that makes it inappropriate and dirty
