What about Pillowfort.io? I read that's the Tumblr alternative according to news sites?

Newgrounds is also becoming a major alternative for Tumblr now.

I've seen a bunch of suggested alternative sites, though I haven't heard much about them since about a week after the purge. The trouble being 1. basically anything that isn't just a tumblr clone works pretty differently, so isn't going to be an easy replacement and 2. there's a ton of different ones, so no one site is picking up all the traffic.

Part of the problem is that Tumblr didn't do a lot of its things particularly well to begin with, but people are just used to that sort of thing by now, and it was the only one that combined these functions together in the way that it did, albeit haphazardly. So even if other sites do various aspects of Tumblr's functionality differently, just by being competent at it, then that combination of inertia and convenience is gone.

Verizon really should have seen this coming. With the porn theyd have been able to at least sell it for a better price.

Even if they do buy it, I'm not going back. The last thing I want if they do are triggered Tumblrinas screaming "objectified women" and "not enough lesbian transgender jewish robot unicorns in erotic media" and all that cacophonic jazz.


Oh, I forgot to mention pr0nbots.

Porn sites are actually generally pretty ethical and well-moderated, because they know how fucked they'd be if feds found them hosting illegal content.

...also what do you mean screaming objectified women? Like, talking about that issue in media? that's like a mundane issue. They teach about it in college courses.

Ah, perhaps so. I feel so silly and judgemental at Tumblr at the moment due to how, some time ago, a post of mine got ✌criticized✌ by a misogynistic gay Tumblrina for having a female character during a drawing event, and everyone participating that event called out that Tumblrina for that. All I could do was block that a-hole after reading his posts.

Another reason why I left Tumblr because, as a pr0n hoarder and someone who uses too many tabs, I don't want to clog up my phone and tablet any further.

Pardon if this is the wrong place to suddenly vent out.

[up]Funny thing that some people have pointed out is that with all the porno gone, a lot of the nonsensical discourse seems to have lost its effectiveness because there’s no longer an audience of horny posters for the stereotypical Tumblrina to yell at. If someone complains about how you not watching She-Ra is homophobic but no one is around to hear it, did it really happen?

The bots are still there. The auto-tagging algorithm is trash.

There are some complaints towards Porn Hub, but mostly things that can be said of any large player in the industry.

It's never really been hard to avoid the    discourse   , just be willing to unfollow people.

Time will only tell if Pornhub ever salvages Tumblr.

Do you think the porn ban had lessened the screams of toxic fandoms on Tumblr?
