Once More With Feeling

shenanimation:

Oooooooooh I don’t like doing this again. I REALLY don’t like doing this again. But.. since a bunch of random innocuous posts of mine were flagged, then restored, and now my blog is currently in a completely random order because of restoring those posts, I have no choice but to once again link alternative social media venues where you can find me. So, without further ado..

Please follow me on

Twitter

Newgrounds

Instagram

And thanks for all the good times on tumblr over the years! I’ll still keep this place updated as long as I can, but the writing’s on the wall. Shame.

“lol the only people mad about the tumblr announcement just want porn lol”

Yeah, no.

Tumblr blocked the tag “chronic pain” in this mess for no reason

They’re flagging commonly used tags by queer people, sex educators, and artists who make their fucking LIVING on tumblr

They’re gonna take down genuine sex workers because they didn’t curb
the problem with spamming porn bots YEARS ago when tumblr users REPORTED
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND *OVER* that it was a problem

Tumblr
IGNORED the bots, IGNORED the problems, and honestly treated it like
NOTHING until their app was taken off a store due to it.

They’re
fucking over a shit-ton of REAL PEOPLE who rely on tumblr for community
and/or income because they ignored users’ complaints about shitty porn
bots for YEARS until it had financial consequences

I can no longer even talk about chronic pain without the post being blocked from searches

I have drawn one or two nude pieces on my art tumblr which is 99% safe
for work but now I’m worried the blog will be taken down entirely
because Tumblr won’t bother differentiating between spam and REAL PEOPLE
just trying to live their goddamn lives

And god forbid I want to
talk about bisexuality or sex or kink in just… MY LIFE. As a
normal-ass human being who just wants to TALK ABOUT HUMAN THINGS

No, their solution to nuke a problem they’ve ignored for years is to take us all down at once

So maybe don’t laugh about “oh no not my pornz” because 1. plenty of
that ~porn~ is made by actual humans making their living and 2. WAY MORE
than “just porn” is being targeted

This along with Facebook
continuously upholding white supremacy by letting nazi shit fly by while
they ban people for speaking out against their oppressors and it’s
basically like we’re running out of truly free places to just… BE

We at Piczel.tv are sad to see Tumblr’s stance against NSFW artists, and would like to offer up our services as an alternative to Tumblr’s arbitrary shadowbans, deletions, and general stupidity.

We’re happy to host adult artists who are looking for a new place to call home, and are planning a few key upgrades and features. 

Effectively immediately though, our gallery upload size restriction has been removed, to be likely raised to 10MB in the near future for non-premium users.

As always, we support image sets, and don’t compress anything.

Firstly, for those that have been using tumblr as a portfolio, you’ll need a way to download all of your art, if you don’t have backups somewhere else. We are planning a tool for Piczel.tv that will import zip files full of images, including titles and descriptions if we are able.

Second, we’re planning the following upgrades to piczel in the coming weeks:

1. Bulk upload/import to your piczel.tv gallery
2. Gallery UI cleanup and improvements
3. Gallery performance improvements
4. Gallery comments with in line image and custom emote support
5. Site-wide PMs (in the vein of tumblr asks, but better)
6. Archive button for your piczel account

Don’t forget to follow us on twitter, we may be deleted on the 17th with everyone else. Until then, we’ll make posts here to keep everyone in the loop

Please consider reblogging this to help artists in need.

Artist will_o_wisps created a new bug type eeveelution during her livestream!

  • Name: Hunneon
  • Type: Bug
  • Species: The Humble Pokemon
  • Height: 1’05" (0.4 m)
  • Weight: 33. lbs (15.0 kg)
  • Ability 1: Levitate – By floating in the air, the Pokémon receives full immunity to all Ground-type moves.
  • Ability 2: Bumble Burst – When the user’s HP is low, the opposing Pokemon is randomly poisoned, paralysed or falls asleep.
  • Evolution: Eevee evolves into Hunneon after levelling up whilst holding the item Honey*.*

Pokedex Entries:

When threatened, it will spit a powdery substance from the tip of its tail to defend itself from predators.

Sometimes it feels conscious about having extra limbs and tucks them into its chest fur to hide them.

If you step on Hunneon’s tail, you’d better watch out! It shoots a powdery substance from the tip of its tail to defend itself.

The hexagonal pieces on its head and chest emit a sweet smelling scent that attracts wild Pokemon, predators and people alike.

I prefer a take I saw which was based on The Fly, but this is cool too.

Alternatives to Tumblr if Yahoo goes any further

  1. Soup.io – well-known alternative to Tumblr. Reblogging, post types, themes, collab blogs, dashboard, artsy, great community already there. Soup can auto-import everything you’ve posted on Tumblr.
  2. TypePad – Includes reblogging. Dashboard and post types similar to Tumblr.
  3. Jux – Artful posts, beautiful blogging experience

Reblogging cause one day it just may be neccessary.

It became necessary

WordPress will also import Tumblr blogs.

So Tumblr is using an automated system to flag posts as “adult” content, right? Let me show you how good their system is.

So this got flagged;

But the same image in a separate post was not flagged;

The image below it was posted separately as well, and was also not flagged.

This is why automation for this kind of thing is not good.
