Umili proposte per un logo adeguato al nuovo corso.
Somebody fill me in! What happens on this date???
This fucking blows!!!! Now I get it. What do I do to fix it?
It is 17th december now and you guys are still not available apparently , when will you guys start this thing ? Some are losing patience , a few even spread rumours that this is a scam , should we look at alternates ? Give us a deadline please Also I want to delete my tumblr now , but you guys want to stay here , can you move to twitter , proper ? Sorry for sounding so negative lol
you have the right to be skeptical. As you can imagine, this is no small undertaking. We are hoping to bring you our beta in the next few days. We will be releasing another update tomorrow at 10PM EST
So , did the 17th log off.
Come back, avatar gone, can’t change it back, some pages still posting, but says may contain sensitive material, click ok, and usual.
So what’s going on? Is it a wait for them to delete accounts?
And if I go into my inbox, nsfw messages, click on, comes up with oath crap, log in, blah blah blah, last time I did that, it terminated my account, I assume it may be the same? Does anyone with multiple accounts know, have tried it.

No doubt due to Tumblr’s decision to ban all adult content, our new Swarmr user signups are thru the roof! We want to thank everyone for giving us a chance, and we will aim to be a great NSFW alternative to everyone needing new homes for their Tumblr’s (and fix a whole wack of ethical issues social networking sites seem to have while we are at it!)
Book burning needs to be firmly relegated to history, and not be updated to #Book Burning, so we will stand up for digital free speech as we have since our start. While we were started in protest to Tumblr’s decision to no longer stand up for net neutrality, our sense that digital free speech was under threat was well founded it appears.
We are hard at work on a new version of Swarmr!
We now have a Staff Blog where you can follow updates from our staff at:
We will soon be introducing some ads to help pay for our enormous hosting bill now, so if you want to support us, please visit our advertisers and buy something to help keep the lights on for digital freedom and to keep censorship at bay.
So once again, thanks everyone!
The Team at Swarmr
It’s absolutely hilarious how tumblr has been taken off the apple store because of the wild shit on here. Yahoo really thought it was stepping into the social media market by obtaining this trash.
Yahoo execs when they found out what they really bought:
Yahoo execs: they got what kinds porn on the site??
PSA for the day
Sex is not bad. Sex is good. Nudity is not wrong. Nudity is right. Self-love, self expression, exhibition and voyeurism are not perverted or sick. Self-love, self expression, exhibition and voyeurism are normal and healthy. Sharing our consensual experiences through images is not abhorrent. Sharing our consensual experiences through images is artistic.
Please don’t feel guilty today for being human. Please don’t feel like a deviant. You are decent. You are kinky. You are freaky cool.
Louder for the people in the back!

December 17th - a rescue plan
Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.
I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you it’s mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (It’s not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. It’s not Pillowfort, that’s in closed beta. It’s not Ello, that’s mainly for artists. It’s not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. It’s not jux, that seems to be closed. It’s not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)
One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.
More info over the days to come.
The plan is, broadly:
1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there
2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.
3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.
4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.
Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.
There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.
The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.
If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.
Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.
(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)
If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.
If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.
(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)
If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If it’s reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.
Obviously, you will lose access, after December 17th, to all past posts you have liked, if Tumblr has flagged them as NSFW. Again, the steps (1), or (2A) and (2B) covered above will be the only way to hold on to these posts.
Count me in .. seems like a Great Plan !!!
Looking forward to december 18th !
Jack
