“Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature
adult content.”

This? In particular? Pisses me off. I hate it.

I hate the implication that all porn is interchangeable and devoid of cultural value, so it’s no big deal when a decade’s worth of creative endeavor produced by a vibrant subculture is destroyed, because, whatever, it’s just dirty pictures.

I hate the disingenuous inability to see a distinction between a website that is about porn only, and a website that allows people to blog about all of their interests and aspects of their lives including sex and porn because those are normal parts of the human experience.

It’s the most tone-deaf bullshit.

More urgently, Tumblr was unique in its ability to connect individual sex workers with their fans. Most sources of pornography outside of Tumblr are either just repositories of stolen porn or they are industrialized, impersonal hell sites that undermine sex workers’ ability to build their own brand.

This change in the terms of service is going to expose countless women to sex trafficking, rape, arrest, domestic violence, and other forms of predation because they will no longer have access to safe working conditions. This isn’t about your ability to rub one out, it’s about some people’s ability to not die.

This is evil.

@staff now they’ll see it

staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront.

I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.

Reblogging again

You can force Twitter to post the “raw” quality of your pics by adding one (1) pixel of transparency in the image.

Twitter uses some algorithm to compress images into .jpg, but it cannot do that if there’s transparency involved in the image, forcing it to be .png in its full quality.
Literally one singular pixel ANYWHERE counts for this, it can be on a corner if you don’t want it to be bothersome.

Figured some folks might be interested in this, considering Tumblr no longer supports the _raw trick.

For the sake of example instead of hearsay, I’ve posted a comparison in my Twitter here, but will also explain here. All images are 2000x2000px versions of my logo you can see on the top left of this post:

Here’s the original image without a background, in its original form.
Notice the .png on the filename title.

Here’s the image with a white background.
You can see Twitter turned it into a .jpg and youcan see compression artifacts surrounding it.

Here’s the image with a white background, but one pixel edged off.
Notice the .png back on the filename and the retaining of quality from the first picture compared to the compression from the second.

All it took was a simple thing:

Nothing else, nothing more. It retains the original quality as you posted it, isn’t very bothersome and can be easily filled up if someone finds it.

Since Tumblr removed the _raw image trick from availability, this is a good way to share high quality, high resolution pictures again with the world.

Cheers!

Once more but with feeling of exodus

heads up to my underage followers

don’t join mastodon. the lax nature of regulations makes it an extremely popular platform for maps and pedophiles.

there are always alternatives to tumblr but mastodon is Not a trustworthy or good one

This is based on a drastic misunderstanding of what Mastodon is. It’s not a social media site like tumblr – it’s open-source code that allows anyone to create a social media site, which can then interact with other sites using that code. To say Mastodon has “lax regulations” is really misleading, because Mastodon itself has no regulations, it only has tools for moderators to regulate their own instances

Mastodon “allows” pedophiles in the same way that email “allows” identity theft scams. No, “email” doesn’t put a stop to identity theft, but “email” is just a set of protocols for sending messages – it’d be absurd to expect it to

Most Mastodon instances (including mastodon.social, the largest and oldest) do more to keep pedophiles off their platform than tumblr ever has, by having strict rules against it, banning any instances that don’t have strict rules against it, and actively moderating to enforce those rules. At that point it’s as if the pedophiles are on a different website entirely – because they literally are on a different domain

As someone who actually uses it, I can confirm that I’ve never had or even heard of a run-in with pedophiles. Admins know the instances that allow it and quickly block and spread the word about any new ones that pop up. Again, it’s been more of an issue for me on tumblr than it’s ever been on masto

Please reblog this. People love spreading this rumor without knowing what they’re talking about, and it’s driving people away from non-corporate, community-controlled, secure open-source social media. And that’s a real big shame
