So … Tumblr is outlawing all adult content by Dec. 17 ….
what the fuck. Oh yes, because instead of solving the actual issue of scumbag child porn and porn bots on your site, you’re just going to throw a damn blanket over it and say you smothered the fire? Bunch of fucking idiots.
Guys listen, BACK YOUR SHIT UP. NOW.
I just reblogged a post on how to do this — if you need it, let me know. Because even if you think you’re safe, tumblr staff is relying mostly on a fucking algorithm to help them decide who is breaking guidelines.
That means some of us will get hit. It’s pretty much unavoidable at this point.
So please, I love you all … BACK YOUR BLOG UP NOW.
If you’re someone affected by the platform’s definition of what they’re going to be banning, I strongly suggest you back up your Tumblr blog. RIGHT NOW. Info on how to do that is here.
I can’t think why my own Tumblr would be affected, but I’ll be backing things up too… because in situations like this one might expect the algorithm to get a little out of hand and make mistakes that one might or might not be able to recover from. (See this article.)
For safety’s sake – because I’d very much dislike losing the content I’ve shared with other people here – I’l be embodying my Tumblr content in a new WordPress blog over the coming days. I’ll share the address here when it’s ready, for those who might be interested.
But in the meantime, seriously: friends and cousins, back yourselves up.
