This Sub wanted to be wrapped up in duct tape from head to toe … of course I couldn’t say no to that ^^

Tumblr’s banning adult content.
RIP this place for our fetish dreams on Dec 17th.
You can be one of those obstinate fuckwits who tries to post sexual/fetish content still and pull the whole “nee-neerr nee-nerr it doesn’t EXPLICITLY show XYZ so it’s not against the ToS”, but lets be real - if Tumblr is trying to nuke adult content off the site, you’re going to get burnt eventually by trying to skirt their rules. Don’t kid yourself.
So where do we go from here and what’s the next best place?
This is the question I’m currently stuck on. Profile sites like Recon and Fetlife, or video sites like Xtube, Thisvid, etc - none of those places are setup in a way that is conducive to community growth, communication, or content sharing and discovery, quite like Tumblr is. They don’t have post tools, picture and video sharing and re-sharing, a dashboard like Tumblr, etc.
Other social media tools are ill-equipped.
Instagram isn’t going to work. Nobody is going to go backwards in time to shit like Blogger. I highly doubt the bulk of people are going to move to Onlyfans (lets be honest, most of us want free shit, and I personally really want to only share my own adventures to others for free). There’s things like Discord but that would be a shitshow ripe for abuse with thousands of people trying to take and share, and moderators of channels. Since it’s essentially a giant group chat (not to mention voice chat options which would be…creepy), that’s not really the best platform to connect on either.
I think for many people, Tumblr has being their home base for sharing their sex lives and the content that makes them feel sexy, empowered, and validated in their sexual identities. There’s a lot more to it than just “oh that’s a hot pic, lemme jack off to it”. A lot, lot more. I think that loss is going to sting for awhile.
Sigh.
We’ve got two weeks of this place left though. Lets enjoy it while we can? (or maybe lowkey hope that there’s huge backlash that makes them reverse course, but I doubt that’ll happen.)
Feel free to reach out and message me if you’d like to keep in touch and we can work on something. My Recon and Fetlife profiles are on my page as well in the description setting. I can be looked up there.
