GOOD NEWS GUYS, IT'S A BUG AND I'LL TELL Y'ALL HOW TO FIX IT!
[Plain text: "Good news guys, it's a bug and I'll tell y'all how to fix it!" in green caps. End pt.]
So what was going on here?
Apparently, they changed something an update or more ago, so if you're using an outdated version of the app or have been working with one tumblr tab for a while without restarting your browser, there can be some issues. Don't ask me how or why, this site is held together by duct tape.
I'm experiencing this bug. What do I do?
If you're using the app (note that I can only speak for the android version but I'm guessing it'll work the same on iPhone) you should update it. If you don't have the space (I know it's why I always have auto updates disabled) you should be able to make a new sideblog in your browser, then customise it even on the app and use it normally. If you're using a browser, close all tumblr tabs and open a new one and it should be fixed. If you're still having issues after that, hit me up, we'll try fixing it and I'll add it to the post.
Is tumblr phasing out page view and archives at a later time?
Honestly, who knows. But knowing them it's also possible they messed something up that makes sideblog creation no longer backwards compatible, god knows when or with what. I am hoping this was a genuine bug and nothing else. Losing the archive would be one of the worst changes this website could make. And the page view? Man. But here's hoping the site stays somewhat habitable.
So what happens now?
Nothing. I inform people where I can that it's a bug, not an intentional change, I apologise to them, and we all stay here forever as always. If you did reblog a previous version, consider reblogging this here instead (I am not making the post rebloggable again to avoid the old version being spread further)
Thank you to everyone who has provided their assistance in testing and otherwise helping! I appreciate you <3
Changing the image so the info will hopefully spread further:
I wanted to opt out of tumblr's new abyssmally tone-deaf and reprehensible scheme to scrape their users' content to sell to their generative AI business partners, but neither app or desktop version showed the toggle, despite updates.
For me, what finally worked was to go to tumblr.com/settings/blog/x (where x is the username of your blog) in a web browser and scroll all the way down.
There I finally found the toggle to opt out.
Please opt out, in solidarity with artists and writers and other creatives, to protect yourself - and to send the higher-up a clear message that we tumblr users aren't "content", and our posts are not for sale.
I can't be the only one who ships Sleep (aka Remy) with Other Side Of The Pillow. Like excuse you? He doesn't even have a name? Have you seen him?! We're about to change that
His name is now Otto. He's hot. And you can do nothing about it
The more poisioned art midjourney eats, the more useless it will get. Nightshade has already become so commonplace amongst artists that its already starting to happen. With this bullshit fucking deal tumblr is pulling, you have the power to make it happen faster.
Poison your art, make sure its on a side blog opted IN to third party ai data sets, and then we sit back and watch it catch fire. This is going to be the worst deal midjourney ever made.
I don't want you to share my art and also anything I reblog with AI scraping shitheads, and I'm annoyed you made me disable it on every. single. blog (uuuuuugh). Can I even safely post art on here if somebody who hasn't opted out can reblog it? Ew.
Whoever came up with this, I wish them a horrible day. Just an awful day. The worst day.
Just so you know, tumblr is currently using art for AI training and the only way to stop them is to go into your settings and turn it off 'third party sharing' manually (on each of your blogs)
Thank you for telling me!! Already did that :> <3
EVERYONE GO TO YOUR SETTING AND CHANGE IT!! It's actually important
Hey guys!
I haven't seen any posts about this yet but since it seems like Tumblr is going to go ahead with the selling of all of our work, now is the perfect time to go through your settings on EACH BLOG that you run to turn off sharing! It's super easy, just a bit time consuming.
Here's the desktop directions:
Go to your Blog Settings
Scroll down to the Visibility section and turn off the Share with Third Party option
Remember to do this on EVERY BLOG YOU RUN!
Hopefully the mobile version isn't much different, I don't go on Tumblr on my phone so someone will have to make a new post or reblog the instructions on here.
Don't forget to glaze and poison your works with Nightshade, too! <3
Hello, my name is Hungry!(but my wonderful friend @sparrow-the-tired-lesbian gave me the lovely nickname C R O N C H Y) I love space(astronomy) and my OC is an astronaut.
