Ah, July 2013.

“Aside from these fixes, there haven’t been any recent changes to Tumblr’s treatment of NSFW content, and our view on the topic hasn’t changed. Empowering your creative expression is the most important thing in the world to us. Making sure people aren’t surprised by content they find offensive is also incredibly important and we are always working to put more control in your hands.“

All, we’ve heard from a bunch of you who are concerned about Tumblr censoring NSFW/adult content. While there seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around, most of the confusion seems to stem from our complicated flagging/filtering features. Let me clear up (and fix) a few things:

1. Last year, we added “Safe Mode” which lets you filter out NSFW content from tag and search pages. This is enabled by default for new users and can be toggled in your Dashboard Settings. As some of you have pointed out, disabling Safe Mode still wasn’t allowing search results from all blogs to appear. This has been fixed.

2. Some search terms are blocked (returning no results) in some of our mobile apps. Unfortunately, different app environments have different requirements that we do our best to adhere to. The reason you see innocent tags like #gay being blocked on certain platforms is that they are still frequently returning adult content which our entire app was close to being banned for. The solution is more intelligent filtering which our team is working diligently on. We’ll get there soon. In the meantime, you can browse #lgbtq — which is moderated by our community editors — in all of Tumblr’s mobile apps. You can also see unfiltered search results on tumblr.com using your mobile web browser.

3. Earlier this year, in an effort to discourage some not-so-nice people from using Tumblr as free hosting for spammy commercial porn sites, we started delisting this tiny subset of blogs from search engines like Google. This was never intended to be an opt-in flag, but for some reason could be enabled after checking off NSFW → Adult in your blog settings. This was confusing and unnecessary, so we’ve dropped the extra option. If your blog contains anything too sexy for the average workplace, simply check “Flag this blog as NSFW” so people in Safe Mode can avoid it. Your blog will still be promoted in third-party search engines.

Aside from these fixes, there haven’t been any recent changes to Tumblr’s treatment of NSFW content, and our view on the topic hasn’t changed. Empowering your creative expression is the most important thing in the world to us. Making sure people aren’t surprised by content they find offensive is also incredibly important and we are always working to put more control in your hands.

Sorry for all of the confusion. If you have any more concerns or suggestions on how we can make these features clearer or more useful, please email us!

When you paint skin, it doesn’t have to look like skin. It just has to read(be interpreted) as skin.

When you paint hair, it doesn’t have to look like hair. It just has to read as hair.

As long as everything I intend to convey is interpreted the way I intended, my job’s done.

This is how you can safely disembark from the realism train without it becoming a trainwreck.

You’re probably wondering why all the sites I mention have so much political content on them

They exist *because* almost their entire userbase consists of people that mainstream social media sites like Twitter / Facebook found objectionable and kicked off.

So these other sites sprang up to give them a place to post without fear of getting kickbanned.

NSFW artists are now the new “objectionable” person. If it weren’t for the politicos over at these other sites, we’d have no safe ship to jump to.

Tumblr didn’t suddenly wake up and become a bunch of moralizing prudes. Instead, their app was dropped by Apple, and *that* is what is motivating them to do what they’re doing.

Apple, by the way, went and dropped gab.ai from their store, and Apple also went and dropped Alex Jones (along with Facebook and Twitter). If your social media platform can be brought to heel by a more powerful institution (such as Apple, or various credit card companies) then all your hard work over the years that you put into a social media platform can go poof.

So, fellow Objectionables, Deplorables, and Unwanted people, I recommend you go to a site where they are a little more battle-hardened against that sort of manipulation.

See you there.

I’m also on gab.ai

They’re pretty much just like Twitter. Also, they have an android app.

I think I might post there more, because they support multiple images per post, while minds.com only allows for one image per post.
