“why do we even need ao3/ why won’t they censor content i don’t like/ what’s that money going towards”
it’s going towards not arbitrarily deleting all your fucking blogs overnight because yahoo had a shareholders meeting, that’s what the fuck it’s going towards. if you don’t own it, they can yank the cord whenever they feel like it, for whatever reason, using whatever wobbly catch-all algorithm they want, and that is exactly what the fuck we’ve been telling you. “wellll i’m not a porn blog, it’s not going to affect me,” oh worm?? you sure?? this website is suddenly gonna be capable of censoring posted content with surgical precision? give ao3 ten bucks immediately and get real
@staff “female presenting nipples” being banned is bullshit as it is 2018 and there’s nothing wrong with female nipples. what about male nipples? i wanna see those way fucking less. sure, banning adult content is fine, but isolating a whole gender is not fucking ok and i thought y’all were better than that.
can we give this post some traction?!
(i’m talking about reblogging and not just liking the post)
besides the point of whether there’s a need to revise the community guidelines I’d like to add my voice in support to this post.
I find it appalling that on an internationally used site like tumblr female nipples should get censored.
It is beyond me how the women’s rights movement has been fighting hard to achieve equal rights for women for centuries but somehow a social media platform in 2018 decides that it is okay to discriminate between “male nipples” and “female nipples”.
Not only does it seem like this rule is based on US standards and ignores the rest of the world.
The “no-nipple”rule should either apply to all genders or not at all.
(the tag “nipples” or “nipple” got cleansed so i suggest “freethenipple” or “freenipple” as tags)
And your life doesn’t need to be about earning the love and approval of your implacable father, who would have given it to you unconditionally if he was worth your time and attention.
Soup.io – well-known alternative to Tumblr. Reblogging, post types, themes, collab blogs, dashboard, artsy, great community already there. Soup can auto-import everything you’ve posted on Tumblr.
TypePad – Includes reblogging. Dashboard and post types similar to Tumblr.
I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +4k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.
Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog*
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted. Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.
I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)
**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.
There is also TumbleThree, a standalone program, if you prefer a GUI over command-line. Also seems to have more options, such as downloading your liked posts.
Haven’t tried it myself so I can only vouch for my OP, but I’ll reblog for the alternative.
According to Tumblr themselves, starting December 17th, NSFW material will no longer be allowed on their site at all (saw that coming since Yahoo bought them out, I’m positive they’ve just been waiting for an excuse). This includes any NSFW photos, videos, graphics, gifs, etc. They say it won’t include erotica text but honestly the former is just a step toward the latter, check our receipts for the ff.net purge and livejournal strikethrough. And since it’s an algorithm not a human coming after NSFW content, they’re using a “take down first, reconsider on appeal” method- just like LJ did, and content that IS SFW can be flagged and taken down without a human checking it first. I’ve had photos of my birds taken down because of this, so don’t assume you’re safe from this absolute nonsense because you don’t post NSFW content.
I’ve used the above method personally and can affirm it worked fine for me. I would absolutely recommend you do it, too, and sooner rather than later.
Storm’s coming folks. Time to get to safety. Grab the contact info of whoever you want to stay in contact with now. If you’re a content creator of NSFW material, get setup someplace else even if it’s only temporary, and tell your followers where to find you.
Stay safe, friends. I hope to see you on the other side.
Before and after of Zhao Yunlan realizing that doesn’t matter what time period it is, if Shen Wei is naive or hardened, nothing can stop him to look at Zhao Yunlan with so much love and sincerity in his eyes..not even 10000 years.
(I worked so hard on this -my very 1st- gifset uhh..you have no idea. Tumblr hates me but I couldn’t give up on this idea and I finally pulled through for Weilan. The realization in Lan’s eyes is killing me ugghhhh!!)
