Tumblr is going down and not in the good way

Hello all!

By now I'm sure many of you have heard about Tumblr's new anti-adult content policy which will almost certainly end a great many great accounts, including many of the links on the right side of this blog. This is going into place officially on December 17th, just in time for the holidays. How nice.

Not a lot to say here, but Meisa thought it would help to make a post to get the word out to as many people as possible, and I agree. I suspect that this bodes badly for Blogger as well, though I've received no official word in my email yet.

I'm hoping most people will simply migrate to new sites. So far Blogger might work for that, but there are a few other sites to consider:

Deviant Art has a lot of limits on what can be posted, but might work for some people. Most good for created art, like photomanipulations/morphs and artwork.

Imagefap is a decent site for posting captions, as I've posted many captions there and never had any issues with censorship. Also a good site for finding pictures to caption, FYI.

Reddit has some issues with censorship, but I've found many good captions on a few of the bimbo-oriented subreddits.

Also there are forums, like the Changing Mirror, which is a good place for posting text stories.

There are actually a number of places that are good for posting stories, like the MCstories site, or Fictionmania, or Literotica.

For more extreme artwork and way more extreme stories, there is Hentai-Foundry. I don't think there are any real limits to content there, but they do want actual drawn artwork, as I haven't seen any captioned photos of the sort I make.

Anyway, I'm going to be busy saving all my favorite posts on Exec2Sec for the next few hours, so I'll end it here. If you have any good sites to suggest, leave them in the comments below.

  2. News has just been shared that there's a "rescue plan" to help all affected Tumblr users move their content to a new, safer home. The exact details aren't being released JUST yet, but I'll stay on top of this and share more information as I hear it.

    1. Thanks, Meisa.

      I've also seen a number of people already setting up accounts on Bdsmlr.com, which appears to be a Tumblr clone but with an obvious focus on Bdsm. And I've seen many others posting about a story website based on the mostly defunct BDSMlibrary site, called TheFetlibrary.com

      https://bdsmlr.com/
      https://www.thefetlibrary.com/

      As more people get settled in their new accounts, I'll be updating my links page on the right.

    2. Next release of information. The exact new target site has still not been named, for preparation reasons, but much more general FAQ about what to expect and how the rescue plan for the Tumblr exodus will work has been provided here to digest in the meantime. Hopefully the automated transfer programs will be available in the next day or two.

    3. Well, there's only a couple days left until the Dec. 17 deadline, and all of the "rescue plan" posts I linked to before have disappeared. Looks like the plan fell through. Sorry to spread false hope like that, and I wish everyone all the luck possible in finding a new avenue for your creativity and explorations.

  3. The other large sites trying to lure people over are Newgrounds and PornHub (I commend their staff for trying to educate ppl on the many avenues artists and other content creators can host their work through PH, and even earn money)
