...fuck...tumblr (Patreon)
Content
If you haven't heard, tumblr will be forbidding any adult content from it's website on December 17th.
From one stand point, they are still allowing “written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations” which in theory still includes things from the #content creators of this website.
HOWEVER, they also include “illustrations that depict sex acts” under what constitutes adult content! That is really going to cut into the ability of artists and illustrators to promote themselves effectively through this website!
I wonder if the staff realizes the damage it’s doing to itself by eradicating all this content with such a broad stroke? If they took the time to look at previous websites after similar purges, they would see how quickly those places are abandoned when the creators and fans move on to somewhere else. Tumblr might be the most easily accessible platform, but it’s not the only one.
I’ve heard a lot of buzz about pillowfort.io and I intend to start something up once it’s back on-line. If anyone else has any other suggestions, I’m willing to entertain other options. In the meantime, please take this opportunity to follow me through other platforms! I do have a DISCORD SERVER available, so just get ahold of me for the code to drop on by. Must be 18+ in order to join!
