okay im going through the rules and stuff on matsodon rn and

sexworkers are good here as long as what they post is tagged. the gore thing is :// but like the person said sexworkers are supported here.

all of this. all of this is hot as hell. 

they actually have specific rules disallowing pedophiles and nazis+the terfs from the last screenshot.

dogpiling and harrassment and stalking is listed as a no go thank fucking god??

there is not one specific staff account as each member of staff has their own thing so it’d be most likely easier to get in touch with them

and the best part

a peek at the list of blocked domains?

ive legit been on this site for ten minutes and i feel safer on this site than ive ever been on tumblr. again im not like, leaving tumblr but this place is nice as hell.

the site itself is https://mastodon.social/  and im @extinction on there lets get this bread in a safe and orderly manner gays

btw this is okay to rb so more people know how sexy this place is

If MTG people are looking for a new home, I can attest that WUBRG.social has been a chill, welcoming, and engaging instance.

Save The Blogs!

Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.

Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.

(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)

I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there.

One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.  

This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress

I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do. 

To break it down, just in case:

 Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start

You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go.

On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.

image

Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.

image

It will tell you if that option is still available for free.

image

Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.

image

Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr!

The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.

image

Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers”  at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.

image
image

Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically.

You’ll have to allow WordPress permissions on your blog.

image

Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.

image

Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!

ALSO!!

I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.

This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access.

To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick.

tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps. 

Edited almost immediately to add that WordPress allows posting reblogging, commenting, AND following, and so it seems like honestly the most logical next place for fandom in my opinion. It also allows a high degree of customization.

I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.

There are a whole bunch more, but that’s a start. Please reblog the hell out of this, so people are aware of this one simple option.

Signal boosting the hell out of this because for all that I’m not on much anymore I don’t want to see anyone get their blogs destroyed at any point.

This feels like strikethrough and boldthrough all over again and we already have innocent blogs being deleted, so save your stuff while you can peeps and keep your fingers crossed that they won’t come after you.

Tagging more people in the hope to spread this and help others back up their own stuff, as I am doing:

@poplitealqueen @pitviperofdoom @keyofnik @puzzleshipper @sasskarian @the-last-hair-bender @profoundlytenaciousgalaxy (sorry I haven’t gotten back to you yet on the Kakashi thing, but I’m still working on that fic!) @gallusrostromegalus @theshitpostcalligrapher @writingstellar @punsbulletsandpointythings @outcastcommander @lullabyknell @aniseandspearmint @albaparthenicevelut @many-leaves-on-the-trees @obaewankenope @sanerontheinside @tenderwenders @sunsetofdoom @phosphorescent-naidheachd @teapirate @theforceisstrongwiththistimelord @gffa @forcearama @yol-ande @bluntstaples @dornishjedi @myurbandream @swpromptsandasks @imaginaryanon @rohnoc @meabhair @lilyrose225writes @rainglazed @kristsune @booksaresacredspew @demifishblog @ialreadyreadthatfanfic @laughterkey @soleriane @out-there-on-the-maroon @elfda @kanirou-crosshack @kaciart @americankimchi @fandumbandflummery @steel-phoenix @deviantaccumulation @spaci1701

Take good care of yourselves everyone and save what you can while you can.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for all of you and everyone who has me on their dash and can benefit from this.

If I didn’t put someone’s name in, this is not to mean that I do not care about you. I just put as many people I could think of (and shadow-spires hadn’t already put in) off the top of my head, but I’m lowkey panicking and there are a lot of names that are slipping through my metaphorical fingers and I can’t pin down rn.
