Id like to show you all something.

Yes indeed no nudity but you can find all the discriminatory and hate speech you want!

But wait, the icing on the cake…

…really? Do i need even say anything.

since this place is going down the shitter, why not reblog this?

Here’s an extra layer of gross 

 I may be wearing a tin foil hat, but I think they purposely want to do stuff like pit BLM against White Supremacists. They see it as an opportunity to make money. 

Here’s a link to the Vox article quoted above in question.

‘Hate and Strife Are Key Target Demographics’, basically.

this whole thing, read it

“Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure out how to better monetize.“

setting aside the idea of monetizing the social justice community (since capitalism commodifies everything, see: the kendall jenner pepsi ad): 

if we ever needed proof that corporations neither know nor care about fandom other than how it makes them money, “let’s grow the fandom audience by killing off porny fanart (and falsely flagging any art or gif with a skin tone in it)” is fucking asinine

I am interested in where the community for sharing nude or adult photos, GIFs and writings is going to end up – now that nude content is not welcome on Tumblr after December 17th, 2018.

My friend is a software developer who made the excellent Gridllr.com tool which I’ve been using myself recently to view and reblog from my huge selection of about 7000 personal likes.

Gridllr.com also lets you download the images from your likes – hopefully that feature will be extended in the next days, as I can see a lot of people wanting to use it!

I am discussing with my friend how hard it would be quickly to create a complete Tumblr Alternative site where nudity and adult content will always be allowed.

If you are a community member interested in this possibility, please Follow me and also comment  / Like / Reblog this post.  I’ll blog an update in the next few days saying where we have got to.  If you don’t Follow me, you probably won’t see the update!

We are aware of the devastating impact of Tumblr’s new “Community guidelines” for a large part of the Tumblr community.

We are now rapidly looking at what steps we can take to:

* help the community retain access to current blog content and Likes

* create an alternative home for safe, equal and non-judgmental posting of all legal content, built on free speech principles.

For now, we recommend that users download to their own PC any content which they want to be sure of preserving.  Gridllr.com can be used to help download photos and GIFs (but not video or audio, sorry).  For photos and GIFs, the download button automatically gives you the largest image size available.

Pro Tip: For fastest downloading on a Windows PC, right-click the download button and select “Save Link As…” (Firefox / Chrome), and save immediately to disk.  This download button gives you the largest size available from Tumblr – it is not limited to the current size seen on the grid screen.

This weekend (8-9 December) we will update with more information about what Gridllr plans to do to help the community after 17 December.
