Apparently no boobs carved by Michelangelo can be classed as ‘female presenting’ and tbh I’m not surprised

imagine being so bad at moderating your own website you decide to just kill half the user base and not fix any of the actual problems

Isn’t this the plot of Infinity War

Fun fact, don’t look up statues of the Norse god Freyr at work.

Those are the oldest statues we have of him and they have inspired people ever since.

And if you’re lucky he’ll be hanging out with his sister Freya.

Not all statues of him are nsfw but better safe than sorry

Many Swedes don’t know it but this is another representation of his… equipment:

one of the lovely features of tumblr is that it goes through an apocalypse at least once a year

About this…

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.

ETA: For those interested in detailed info on how to export / migrate your Tumblr content into a WordPress blog, check out this article at WPSuperstars.

SIGNAL BOOST.

I’ll be taking steps myself, both to back up and to export – probably, as @dduane is doing, to WordPress.

At first sight my own blog would seem fairly safe – cats, arms and armour, food and drink, classic cars, dieselpunk, writing advice – but an algorithm bot is perfectly capable of taking exception to, oh, let’s say comments featuring words like “nipple breast-plates”…

…or “the cock and frizzen of a flintlock”…

…or foodstuffs with names like “fa**ots” and…

…or images like this…

You see the point.

Back Up Your Blogs.

Hey, the backup feature tries to put everything in a single ZIP folder, but that won’t work if you have more than 4 GBs of content on your blog. Use this instead:

https://github.com/bbolli/tumblr-utils/blob/master/tumblr_backup_for_beginners.md

Don’t follow the instructions about editing your $PATH variable. If you’re on Windows, the OS does that for you. If you’re on a UNIX-like system (or if you use Windows PowerShell), use a dot-slash (./) in front of the command.

Advanced techniques can be found at https://github.com/bbolli/tumblr-utils/blob/master/tumblr_backup.md

The censor bot got a nosebleed at the mere mention of female-presenting nipples.

Yes, we have seen the news! We are planning to have the
site back up either tomorrow or Wednesday; we just have a couple last
security measures we want to put in place today, but we will be working on
it as quickly as possible and we will have a clearer ETA by tonight.

We will also try to come up with a way to lower the barrier to entry for new users, though we don’t want to drop the entry fee entirely because a) we feel that would be unfair to our users who have paid for their registration keys and b) we don’t think our servers could handle a massive influx of new users right now, so we’re going to try to allow as many new users as we can without capsizing the boat. We appreciate your patience and will have more details soon!
