• Today, Tumblr’s ban on adult content went into effect and as expected, it’s a mess. The system is flagging things that aren’t even Porn related...like at all

Axel is my baby daddy.
Never thought I would see the day when a hot Korean dude would be Gay porn scene's new king.
Truly a blessing.

What fucking kills me is the fact that you can right click > inspect source AND CHANGE THE FUCKING CODE THAT HAS YOUR BLOG MARKED AS EXPLICIT

For such a huge site, I don't understand how they do always seems so amateur hour.

ever since people figured out what open source tumblr was using to flag their posts, i've been waiting for someone to make an extension to outwit their bot.

i’m scared to use this bc when it comes to them finally reviewing why it’s flagged they might point out you’ve done this

Fitting image.

LiveJournal is now restricted by a Russian owner who recently implemented a ban on political and LGBTQ speech to comply with Russian law.

Does this just...not apply to ONTD? lmao

Burn baby burn

Wonder who'll get banned if they go after Nazis?

Also, does this mean the porn blogs reposting my friend's story about her assault are going down?

I shouldn't be surprised at this, and yet I am. JFC how horrific.

Her theory was because she tagged it for potential triggers, it got picked up by a bot

Oh my god...

i literally havent come across anything in the last few days. i never post to my blog anyway so maybe thats why seeing blocked things hasnt come up. i also dont follow porn blogs anyway so unless my fav architecture blogs start doing something random, this has zero effect on me

(though also like, shocking it's random algorithm is not working)

[iznanassi]

Yeah I don't follow anything ~interesting so I haven't been affected either

[judgmental]

Yeah same im a designer and sometimes i go check relevant tags, never used it for anything that wasnt art related lol

[pepsi_twist9]

I do see a lot of bans on artists for random shit (like drawings of cats etc) but any of the generic stuff like flowers or whatever I haven't seen anything
