mochi Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 apparently they decided youtube has the right Idea and will be adding a "safe mode" that cannot be turned off that blocks everything tagged "Gay" "Lesbian" or "Bisexual" edit: apparently they've also been bought by verizon who are anti-net neutrality so that explains the sudden abandonment of freedom of speech and the sudden censorship edit 2: tumblr has issued an apology https://staff.tumblr.com/post/162178688374/safe-mode-update
mochi Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 It's because Verizon owns them now I saw right after making the OP and edited it guess it's time to find a new blogging site

K_N Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 I saw right after making the OP and edited it guess it's time to find a new blogging site Just wait a couple years. Tumblr is a profit sink, so Verizon will sell it off just like Yahoo did and just like Karp did to yahoo before that.
Mohri Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Who knew that the loss of Yahoo would actually have negative effects .
mthor Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Doesn't Tumblr already censor or somehow interfere with proana tags?

It will kill Tumblr as a social media platform
lupin_bebop Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Well, yep. It's because they were bought by Verizon, and Verizon has a traditionally traditional stance on pretty much everything.
Ginguy Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that Tumblr is a sewer fire....
bnmjy Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 I think hope tumblr will eventually be shut down for good.
1pooh4u Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Tumblr isn't really that bad, it's easy to avoid the crazy if you want
mochi Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 Tumblr isn't really that bad, it's easy to avoid the crazy if you want ...well now it is S:

mochi Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 Ironically someone else I spoke to said that tumblr's Mobile App had been doing this as far back as 2013, they've just suddently decided to apply the anti-LGBT filter to the main version of the site too
mochi Posted June 24, 2017 Author Posted June 24, 2017 Update: Tumblr issued an apology ::]:: https://staff.tumblr.com/post/162178688374/safe-mode-update so there's that
mochi Posted June 24, 2017 Author Posted June 24, 2017 This makes no sense. It will kill Tumblr as a social media platform they came to the same conclusion and issued an apology ::]::
JeNewBee Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Tumblr isn't available on Kindle Fire anymore Still have the app But nothing really works anymore Not in the app store anymore
