So of course the big thing everyone is talking about today is tumblr banning all adult content

Most of the user base don’t seem to have a clue where they want to move too now, I’ve seen the most references to MySpace actually, although I presume that’s mostly people joking? :P Must admit I don’t hate the thought of this giving fandom the final push to move away from tumblr, but nobody seems to have much of an idea of where they want to go

Lol yeah I’m the exact same, it’s hard for me to consider leaving LJ for DW because over here I have a permanent account with over 200 icon spaces. DW feels like going backwards to only have space for 15, plus limits on other things like how many entries and comments you can subscribe too

I do remember strikethrough being all anyone in fandom was talking about for a while, even though it didn’t affect any of the fandoms I was actually involved with at the time, but everyone was so concerned about how much further the censorship would go. Admittedly LJ handled it badly, but they never banned all LGBT content for good, they were targeting stuff like Harry/Snape fanart because they were so paranoid about being accused of hosting child porn. And they did end up backing down fairly quickly, whereas it doesn’t seem like tumblr is planning on changing this policy

I don’t come across that much porn on tumblr either, but guess that’s because I stick to blogs I know. Last time I browsed the tags for the show Nikita, I did come across a massive closeup of some woman’s asshole :(

Ugh, that also happened to me with completely unrelated things. I barely go into tags anymore. The worst was probably trying to find blogs for the NBC show Good Girls.

I definitely learned to avoid the tags after that! Saying that, I’ve had the same thing on LJ a couple of times as well with communities being hacked and suddenly finding naked women all over my flist, although that was probably a couple of years ago now. I gusss we’re not even relevant enough to hack any more :P

I remember that! Now I occasionally just see adverts like "buy designer bags cheap" posted by bots.

Exactly lol
