It’s not even December 17th and I am already over the bullshit.

And their purity-bot algorithm blows. Hard. 

The manual effort they’ve placed on content creators to straighten out this mess is pretty epic –– about about half of the art I’ve posted has been flagged –– and with tumblr’s tagging / search / linking in the shitter, they’ve crippled their site in time of crisis. These kind of blanket bans can be platform killers especially when it drives the content creators away. And this is just stupid on all sorts of levels.

So where does that leave me? Waiting. I’m not on twitter, and I don’t plan to be. (I’m on A03 as Kauri, but that’s about it.) I love this community. I’m here for this community. There are a thousand ways for tumblr to effectively curb cp and bots without a wholesale ban on sex, nudity and “female presenting nipples” –– so I guess I’m gonna ride it out for a bit, and hope they figure their shit out.
