Photos,Vids, And Guys I Like

the rescue plan site has lunched you can find it here 2mblr BUT it’s not done so you can only import your blog there… i started about 9 hours ago and it’s still on 0% transfered lol. btw, i remember in their post that they said this site already had millions of followers before the tumblr purge but it’s the first time i personally hear about 2mblr, just me? idk, just sounds fishy to me, so be careful.

on the other hand cumblr isn’t done yet either but they should be ready soon, maybe tomorrow idk. you’ll be able to transfer your stuff from the tumblr backup zip file (you dont have to open the zip file on your computer to transfer it after). 

Thank you for the many messages of encouragement we have received. It’s clear that the Tumblr community has an important role for so many people; my heart breaks at some of the things I have read.

This is a quick update to let everyone know that the development of the transfer tool is going well. Further update on Monday, and I plan to post some details of how the transfer will work.

We’re really excited to provide the Tumblr community a way to move content to Tapblr, a new microblog site for adult content.  We’re also thrilled by the interest with thousands of requests and we’re working as fast as possible to process them.

Quick update: we’re working on data migration and expect to be able to send out a first batch of transferred profiles by Monday.  A few quick notes:

We’re only saving your last 5500 posts – we know there are larger Tumblrs but we don’t have the space to store everything – that’d be some serious $$$.  We’re trying to keep Tapblr migration fair and open to everyone

We’re only backing up posts (incl reblogs, photos, videos, text) and no likes/drafts for now

The first Tapblr website will be pretty basic, and we’ll try to build on that

Most importantly, you’ll need to fill out the form on tapblr.com before December 17th.  We’ve been working around the clock to figure out how to transfer data in reasonable way and we’ll post most here as we make progress!

Im trying to figure all of this out and have created KINGSIZECOCK.WORKPRESS.COM. There really isn’t anything in there yet, but make your book marks now and follow me there. It might take some time, but KSK is going to continue.

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.
