second blog that'll probably include memes n junk

when this is all over it’ll be hilarious

tips for surviving this mess (artists ESPECIALLY) :

Export your blog content. If you can reach the site through its desktop version, click the person icon from your dash, click the name of a blog you have you want to export, select “Edit Appearance”. Scroll down and click “export (blog name)”. You will receive a .zip file. If anything ridiculous happens and you aren’t able to secure your account again, you at least should have your image files in one place. You will find in this folder the following (copied from the support article provided by tumblr staff themselves) : 

A Posts folder, with an HTML file for each post.

A Media folder, with the media from your posts, plus any media you’ve uploaded (like in messaging). These files will be in the format you uploaded them in  (JPG, GIF, PNG, MP4, and so on).

A representation of your blog’s messaging conversations, in XML format.

A representation of your blog’s posts, also in XML format.

If your blog truly is NSFW, or has a significant portion of NSFW content, flag it properly. You can do this from the same page as the Export function ; read the above to do reach this page.

Stop your queue from posting while things are wild. You’ll be drowned out by users helping each other with this glitchfest, and that’s if your post isn’t hidden from users due to links. Use the edit post function to move queued posts into your drafts, and reverse this process when you’re ready to put them back. This is important for art bloggers especially.

If your blog is flagged and taken down, you can e-mail staff or reach them from their contact links. www tumblr com /support - replacing spaces with dots. Several tumblr users who have gone through the process will know better than I do on this particular matter.

Keep an eye on your side blogs. It seems some takedowns are bringing side blogs down with them. There isn’t a great amount of information on the whys or hows - most likely, if a side blog has only one admin and the admin is taken down, the side blog will be taken down with it, but again, these are restorable. Make sure to include the name of any sideblogs you have that may be affected if you have to send a ticket in to staff, it will make your request go through faster.

If you have important information to impart to your followers but it involves links, do your best to avoid using links themselves. Use work-arounds like the one above, create a custom page on your own blog with links on it, or simply phrase it carefully, such as, “you can find me on DeviantArt with the username ____!”

this includes stripping, camming, sugaring, fetish services, GFE, nsfw snapchats, erotic massage, and quite honestly a massive variety of other in person and online services that are all undeniably sexual services 

you dont have to be fucking your customers to be a sex worker, and the appropriate term for the people youre actually using a slur for is full service sex workers, not pr********s 

speaking as one of the gays providing in person as well as online services listen to me when I tell you that youre not doing any of us any favours by spreading this misinformation and trying to invalidate my fellow sex workers, its insulting to all of us

Tumblr has made and official statement on twitter about what’s going on:

We’re committed to helping build a safe online environment for all users, and we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to media featuring child sexual exploitation and abuse. As this is an industry-wide problem, we work collaboratively with our industry peers and partners like NCMEC to actively monitor content uploaded to the platform. Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform. A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database. We immediately removed this content. Content safeguards are a challenging aspect of operating scaled platforms. We’re continuously assessing further steps we can take to improve and there is no higher priority for our team.

Please please please, for the love of everything, stop spreading fear in our community. They are not purging your blogs for having NSFW content. If your blog gets deleted and you didn’t have any of the above mentioned content, or something that could be percived as such, then please contact Tumblr Support to regain your blog. They can be contacted via the form here.

Tumblr was deemed too full of inappropriate content to be allowed to be downloaded from the app store.

It has this “inappropriate” problem because of rampant porn ad bot accounts. The old solutions were bots to detect image sets with nsfw content, the automatically enabled safe mode, tag filtering for mobile, and wide takedowns of nsfw bots based on words used (that’s why their messages are full of numbers and symbols, to evade this)

Tumblr released their own bot supposedly capable of wiping the ad bots, but it’s taking down many popular blogs, possibly due to sheer amounts of posting or sheer amounts of ad bots in their notes. This bot was likely rushed to be put out.

You are more likely to be accidentally flagged if you post external links, as well. If your acct is taken down you CAN get it back, but it’s a pain. E-mail tumblr support for help with this. It takes down side blogs with the main ones.

hi, i decided to make one because im not safe in my home and am probably going to be kicked out soon anyway. and this entire city brings me a lot of anxiety because of Patrick. i just really need to relocate and get the help I desperately need.

this is my trauma account. I wouldn’t go snooping since things can be pretty triggering.

Here’s a master post referring to Patrick-Shibari

It’s never easy to ask for help, especially in a situation like this. I can only imagine how much strength it took to write this out and put it out there for anyone and everyone to see.

So some anon reported my other blog, @thedegradationofelvvie until tumblr deleted it. I’ve seen this happen to countless sex workers and it makes me so sad. And tired.

But, imagine being this anon. Imagine being so full of nothing, being so empty and angry and lonely, that the indirect attention you get from harassing women is the only thing you have to cling to. Pressing your face against the cool screen as if that is touch.
