Twilight: So oxygen went on a date with potassium. It went OK.

Sunset: I thought oxygen was dating magnesium. omg.

Moondancer: Actually, oxygen asked nitrogen out first, but nitrogen was like “NO”.

Twilight: I thought oxygen had that double bond with the hydrogen twins?

Sunset: Looks like someone’s a HO.

Moondancer: NaBrO!

Rainbow: I’m done with all of you.

Censored on tumblr

What all ask boxes look like for me (submission boxes look exactly the same):

Left: what happens when I try to open dms (New Message does nothing); I can’t even read them. Right: when I try to go to someone’s dms from their blog.

Neither new things I post nor old things I post show up in the tags they’re in, even if they were before.

I can type things into replies, but it won’t actually post them.

Since it doesn’t seem this one has been encountered by many people yet, maybe reblog this so people know about it. I’m probably getting deleted though

Tumblr is shadowbanning people and they aren’t even trying to be subtle about it.

Please spread the word.

I’m glad this is spreading but simultaneously it makes it sound like the shadowban is much less severe than it is because I didn’t realize, and this shadowban is so severe I can’t even add on / tell anyone that.

All my likes, reblogs, and replies are hidden from the notes of EVERY post.

When I like or rb things it doesn’t show notes in someone’s activity / dash, except long-time followers (not sure about the exact cutoff/conditions).

If I reblogged and added something to this from a non-follower they wouldn’t even know. Check and see: my rb’s don’t even show up in the notes. So people couldn’t even find out I added something on by checking the notes either:

Image

Not to mention: I’m hidden from all searches, can’t be @’d, past @’s of me are hidden from my notes, I don’t get notified when people reply to a post I replied to, my @’s don’t give notes, and every search on my blog is blanked. I can’t even ask/submit to myself even with anons, and lots more.

Oh, yeah, and: MY BLOG ISN’T EVEN MARKED NSFW. Every flagged post I’ve found was restored. But every flagged post you contest brings attention to you that risks you just getting shadowbanned randomly.

THIS is the version that should get spread around…

This is the sort of experience we need to be broadcasting on Monday December 17th to other platforms.

I am so sorry OP. I’m going to assume you’ve written support and told them about this, if you haven’t please do.

And tell the world what their response is.

Regarding tumblr’s new policy...

Obviously, my work has always been and will always be sfw, so I don’t have to worry about getting hit as hard as many of my fellow friends and content creators… but I totally agree that this new policy sucks. So if you won’t be using tumblr as much in the near future, remember you can always find me posting work at: most active: https://twitter.com/dawnf1re fairly active: https://www.instagram.com/dawnfireart/ https://www.deviantart.com/celebi-yoshi less active but still update occasionally: https://www.facebook.com/dawnfirepony/ Once again, I think this is a garbage rule, and I’m sorry to everyone getting hit hard by it. :’(

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

Okay so I’m a little worried Busters. My blog is set as NSFW due to violence and sexual content. On Dec 17th I may cease to exist on Tumblr.

I WILL NOT STOP WRITING.

In the next few days I will be positing a link to a google doc where you can keep up with the story as I transition to a new website.

Just gotta find one first.

Suggestions?

A humble reminder to everyone, just because you think your blog is sfw doesnt protect you from Tumblr Staff’s stupendously incompetent algorithm.  

Please go through your art posts and double check your content hasn’t been falsely flagged.  Because I bet it has!

NSFW Changes coming December 17th

As if this shit wasn’t over yet.

I’m probably not the first post on this, but:

Adult content technically was already banned in some respects, but on the 17th it is changing to include “photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts.”

Drawn nudity will still be allowed, but this addendum is new. Reportedly the action this time is: if your blog is explicit and has adult content, the adult content will instead be privatized. The article does not say anything about purging accounts.

Whether they actually will or not is not known yet. Hopefully they simply hide violating posts, so people can still keep their blogs and post nudity and pinups, and they don’t hunt down blogs that have multiple posts that get hidden (like they did with the audio and video policy changes a few years back). There’s no telling what the end result will be.

I’d seriously advise moving to other platforms like Twitter, at least until a suitable alternative to Tumblr comes up. (If I lose my blog I’m gonna miss photosets and gifsets a lot.) https://twitter.com/zedrinbutt

As a precaution it may also be a good idea to unlink your NSFW and SFW accounts before the change, and then afterwords relink them if they survive.
