Since this is an active process, things may look a bit weird or may not function until all the dust settles. Don’t panic. Or you’re going into the vinyl sack until you calm down.
And here’s the next phase of the spambots, after they move pass the mass friending into the posting. That’s quite the collection of tags there (and yes, I’m extremely grossed out seeing #students and #kids included there. I’m reasonably sure the tags are randomly generated, but UGH!)
Just remember kids, keep reporting.
New way porn bots are flooding Tumblr. Good thing we can’t use our tags properly because everything marked “mature” gets sandboxed…oh wait.
wait. this is hilarious. They were contractually obligated to keep it, so when it was universally hated, they added an option to completely erase it from the dashboard without getting in trouble for removing it …… “snooze tumblr live” is funnier than we thought
Guys literally all of this is good news ,..they’re gonna be changing their approach to everything and focusing more on core functionality. which we all know this site needs. And they’re not downscaling any part of the trust & safety team so moderation should .. at least not be getting any worse
“One thing I’m hoping with a more focused approach in 2024 is that we can streamline some of the extra things that were launched (like Live) that haven’t gotten the adoption we hoped, and focus in on the core functionality that people use a ton of on Tumblr,” he said. “We will likely be shipping less new stuff and more focused on improving existing functionality and core flows.”
“What’s super clear is our previous approach wasn’t working,” Mullenweg elaborated in another post. “It didn’t turn around the business to make enough money to support the investment of infrastructure and staff needed to run Tumblr, and a lot of users were unhappy with some of the changes we tried. There have been a few staff changes within the team, but basically what we’re saying is starting January 1st, 2024 we’ll try a different structure with smaller, more focused teams working on the core parts of Tumblr that people say they want improved. We’ll sunset or rollback some things we tried that didn’t work.”

Maybe Tumblr took my advice and got laid after all.
Bit of an update…doing anything on Tumblr is becoming more difficult. If it’s not my posts getting randomly deleted, it’s the errors I’m getting that I can’t save drafts or save edits in posts for absolutely no reason. Tumblr randomly hides posts with nudity, but let’s sex bots follow you in droves that you have to report/block one by one. The new layout is driving me insane, the new text editor UI is driving me insane.
October is the busiest month of the year for me at work, so I cannot focus on Tumblr ight now. But this winter I will -hopefully- be moving all my writing to an archive. I cannot permanently leave Tumblr because I’m dependent on the random dashboard posts for content. I intend to keep writing, posting here, and then moving the posts to the archive, but what that will look like is still to be determined.
Ok, I survived the great Porn Purge and all the drama that comes with Tumblr, but this may end me.
Recently, one of my posts vanished (the one about the guy with the hook up that made him question consent). It just vanished. I thought I had thrown my phone into my bag at the beach without the screen locked and Tumblr open, and somehow the post got deleted.
Well, a nice user just messaged me asking about a post that they couldn’t find, I’ll call it the Sam & Paul post. This happens, Tumblr likes to hide “adult material”. Well, I was going through my archive and not only was it not there, but it felt like that there should be more posts in my archive.
There’s a Tumblr mirror website called Tumbex, and I found the Sam & Paul post. It was reblogged by someone called @savingwedgies (thanks bro). You can see all their posts on their Tumbex page. However, when I try to pull up the post by itself, Tumbex says “Post not found”. When I try to locate the post on @savingwedgies’s actual Tumblr page, it’s not there.
It seems that Tumblr has deleted the post so it can’t be located or summoned, even if you have the link (like the way you can see a hidden Youtube video even if you have the link). According to Tumblr rules, if your post is deleted on Tumblr, it does not delete any reblogs of it – in theory. But my post is gone on my Tumblr and other Tumblrs. This is hugely alarming. Before, Tumblr just flagged your posts and hid them from the public. Now they’re just gone.
I’m in an actual panic about this. I managed to screenshot my missing post, but I have no idea how about what other posts of mine are just….gone. I feel kind of sick. And I can’t locate my other missing post. What’s the point of continuing if they just vanish?
Hello. Thank you for following and combing back. I’m still here, whether the dicks are censored or not.
Your comment sent me down a rabbit hole. Here’s the tag. One of them got hidden due to “explicit content”, and I’m going to reupload it. https://www.tumblr.com/allbecauseoftheboys/tagged/lucien stories EDIT: Link may not be working properly. I’m trying to figure out. Will update tomorrow.
Also, upon digging into this, I learned an absolutely shocking fact that my Tumblr is going to be TEN YEARS OLD this year. And some of my readers have been here the ENTIRE TIME. I need to lie down.
