Comment on this post what you bdsmlr username is so we can mass follow everyone!
GREAT idea! I’ve been doing the “find and follow” thing as I see people post their bdsmlr usernames, but it’s been willy-nilly and I’ve missed a bunch of people. And when you’re on bdsmlr, the watchword is: be active! Post, reblog, like. If people see activity with your username (on the Liked list on a post from a blogger you’re already following, for example), they can hover over you in the Notes and press Follow. As of now, looks like 906 of you have found my blog, and I’ve found 350 of y’all. This weekend I’ll try to put in some work to find the rest of you and follow back. A community is a hard thing to kill. :)

If you can swing it, here’s why:
I suspect that the December 17th deadline is so that Verizon/Yahoo can clean house and make Tumblr appealing to investors. This is a Q4/Q1 fire sale kind of thing. It makes a certain amount of business sense to make this change. Human-lead content curation (e.g. separating the CP from the legit) is expensive and time-consuming. I doubt they have the money for it. They already sold off Flickr. As a long-time Flickr pro user, I’m not pleased by the change and increase in pro account price, but I get it.
Investors are looking for a user base. User base is a prime attraction for investment or buy-out for a social media platform or application (I speak from experience as a co-founder of Rhinobird.tv).
Every account that is cancelled will be one less account in Tumblr’s user base for their pitch. I assume that there are millions of accounts with some percentage simply being abandoned accounts that haven’t been used in years. So cancelling one’s account on the way out the door won’t really matter unless the number of cancelled accounts reaches several hundred thousand at least.
If you decide to leave and cancel, then I also recommend sending a polite message to Tumblr staff, or tweet to the account about why you are leaving.
Finally, using Twitter to voice your concerns and thoughts about this issue will increase its visibility. They ain’t gonna like that. Media outlets that cater to tech entrepreneurs, and Silicon Valley types are going to be all over this.
I never ask for reblogs, but I will this one time.
Look for me here until someone tells me of another place to go .. i’ve been told this is a relatively new website fashioned after Tumblr… It has a few bugs but they’re working on them … Sorry, i’m not really into MeWe
PLEASE REBLOG and PLEASE POST YOUR ADDRESS on the reblog where I can find you

BDSMLR IS THE NEW BLOG DEDICATED TO BDSM. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!

First impression: holy shit, it’s Tumblr!! Only been on a few minutes, but it is a look-and-feel clone of Tumblr! The support folks there, even though they are being swamped with people fleeing #TumblrTitanic, got back to me last night and unfucked my stuck registration process. OK, so:
At the end of the registration process and initial setup, you have to choose an interest area (femdom, quotes, art, whatever). You have to choose 3 blogs to follow, and then a “Continue” button is enabled. Press continue and Voila! You are in the Tumblr-like user interface. My handle there is:
instructor144
Big surprise, right?
If you are already on BDSMLR, give me a follow, let me know your blog name, send a message, etc. I want to wring out this platform hard over the next couple of days, I have the free time before my new job starts on Monday.
This might well be our new home, folks.
this post will be updated as I find more websites to add! please check with the original before reblogging to see if there’s an updated version, and message me with corrections or more suggestions if you have them!!
websites in red have explicitly forbidden the posting of NSFW content. websites in orange allow certain types of NSFW content or have questionable / unclear guidelines.
(so people will stop telling me i forgot them)
edit: please stop commenting on this post to self-promote your porn accounts on other sites. those replies / reblogs will be deleted or hidden.
please note that every site on this list will have pros and cons, and i haven’t listed them here since this post would be a mile long otherwise. please do your research before moving completely over to another site in case they have policies you disagree with.
also, because I see a lot of misinformed people ranting about this: deviantart does not own the art you post. some years ago hot topic stole a ton of art from DA and sold it on merchandise and people assumed that DA gave them permission to do it despite there being literally zero evidence for that claim. DA explictly states in their TOS that you retain copyright and sole license of the art you post.
and related, mastodon does not allow or condone CP or pedophilia. the people spreading this info are misinformed about what mastodon is. it is not an exact twitter clone; anyone anywhere can host a mastodon instance using their personal computer as a server, which means mastodon as a company can’t do jack shit to moderate them. what they DO is permanently block all users from every other instance from viewing or interacting with that instance, and add that instance to a publicly viewable list along with the reason for the block. please give their post about anti-abuse measures a read before making snap judgements.

Looks like it’s time to head back to FetLife. Tumblr has had its day. It’s always been a pleasure and I hope to see some of your around.
