Hey cozins, so it’s been fun. I’m not deleting, but I’m kinda over this site, y’know? 

Whatever next platform comes along I’m not planning to restore the fanart there, so you’re welcome to back up and repost whatever you like in my art tag. It’s my gift to the fandoms. 

These days I’m focused on my original graphic novel, so that’s my only online footprint. I have a handy media map that shows all the places you can find me. (Didn’t think I’d need it so soon.) Chama’s media map

And hey, if you’re jumping ship and looking for a new platform,

let me tell you about a cool thing I’ve found – the LBRY. It’s not “the solution.” But it’s a way to keep your stuff from disappearing off the internet. I wrote up a little thing about it.

clubpeguin.com: just like tumblr but ur a peguin and u need ur parents permission. also theres an igloo.

neopets.com:  literally tumblr holy shit

webkinz.com: like tumblr but focuses mainly on art so if youre an artist this is a good place for you

now that having basically any image in your posts places you at risk of getting flagged for “sensitive content” by the new algorithms, we’re just going have to start posting our reaction images in text format

Ha ha, no, of course not.

Yahoo is a notorious repeat offender. Yahoo is the reason the “if you’re not paying money for a service, then you’re not a customer, you’re the product.” saying exists.

Here is some fully general advice: If you’re the user of a free-to-use website, and you learn that it’s being bought by a large company, then this is always, and forever, bad news. If it’s not an acquihire, then it’s something worse. You’re not a customer, you’re the product.

If we’re lucky, this will be a Livejournal-style buyout, where the site just gradually disintegrates over the course of several years. If we’re unlucky, then it’ll be a Posterous-style buyout, and Tumblr will be shut down when Yahoo goes bankrupt in six months. It is vanishingly unlikely that being owned by Yahoo will benefit Tumblr users at all.

Predictions:

1. More ads. Karp has a weirdly principled dislike of ads, for a guy running a free social network. Marissa Mayer is unencumbered by morals, here. If you spend a billion dollars on something, you’re gonna want a return on income.
2. NSFW content is probably going to be banned, or heavily restricted. (As in, “verify your age by giving us a credit card number”) Ad networks hate and fear porn, and Yahoo is going to run more ads. No other Yahoo property allows NSFW content, for precisely this reason.
3. They might try to restrict fan content, due to copyright/CP concerns, as Livejournal did; they might not.
4. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!

I called it, five years in advance.

The prophecy was right there and we all ignored it.

So uhm……………

Tumblr is doing that thing.

This might be a good time to plug my other accounts real quick:

Twitter (not being used rn) – Instagram – Patreon – Youtube

If this thing ever dies in a fire, I’ll be in one of those!
