Tumblr was a mixed bag but it’s nevertheless a shame it’s dying. It was a decent way to manage connections to artists and fans and everything, but as an art platform itself it’s actually quite shit. No SWF uploading, no NSFW videos, obscenely small gif size limits, image size compression so bad to the point it necessitated uploading HQ versions offsite (which might have led to the unfortunate ubiquitous craze among artists to paywall the highest quality versions of their art on Patreon). It’s going to be a goddamn nightmare for artists and animators of all stripes and booru sites. Countless sources lost and who knows how much content will just be lost for good. And I do mean lost for good. It’s up to the artist and fans to save this shit and back it up. Archive.org isn’t going to back up your furry porn blog. Google isn’t going to cache it.
As for the community itself, Tumblr has been surprisingly nice to me. Especially considering its reputation as a SJW infested hellhole where deranged lunatics call teenage girls racist and try to get them to kill themselves over drawing a character’s nose slightly too small. Despite how extreme some of the content I reblog/repost is compared to the normie’s sexual attractions, I’ve somehow only managed to get like one or two actual hate messages, and that’s WITH anonymous asks turned on. I just blocked and deleted, don’t give them any attention and move on. Maybe I’m lucky, I don’t know. Some people on this site get so much fucking shit they would have traded anything to have the same experience. Most messages I get are usually very supportive or are requests or something. Speaking of, I’m sorry to anyone who sent in a request that didn’t get fulfilled. Femboys getting their cocks milked into condoms, feral on feral, futa centaurs, etc. It isn’t that you guys have bad requests, I’m just lazy.
With all of that said, I’m starting the final export now. This will be the last post on the blog in the backup.
