I consider this to be one of the biggest upheavals to the adult industry in a long time, with cascading reverbrations for a long time.  I think this will send users on a mass exodus to other platforms, yet no platform right now is a clear choice.  The big question is to what platform users will eventually migrate.

I've thought long and hard about our community's contextual role in this scenario:

  1. I've reiterated my personal stance in a community-wide newsletter on allowing adult nudity on AdonisMale.com.  We're a community that celebrates the male form, nudity and all, and we're not beholden to corporate and family-friendly interests.  
  2.   I've debated intensely on whether or not I should make overtures to users on Tumblr.  I'm currently against it.  Our platform's user experience is very different than the microblogging experience of Tumblr; we focus on more traditional methods of publishing like forum discussion and gallery images, not short-form blogs.  I would also rather grow in a controlled and organic fashion by adding clubs - I'm beyond delighted by the additions of the groups lead by @ColtMann and @bakersman94, but what makes them so successful is that we're a good cultural fit, and that matters in the long run in a community, 

From a broader  perspective though, there aren't any mainstream social networks that allow adult content besides Twitter -- Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Youtube and others have long prohibited adult content.  Adult content will continue to be driven underground.

I have a solution.  Why can't all tumblr gay male sites get transferred to Blogspot?

If you go to any of their gay geared sites, they always have a page stopping you warning you that the following site is adult geared that if you don't want to see any male nudes, that you don't continue on and leave the site.

This could be done as well for all these sites.

Blogspot is definitely an option.  One downside in comparison to Tumblr, however, is that the Dashboard isn't as easy to use.  Tumblr is considered a micro-blog, so it's perfect for short and easy uploads.

A very sad day.  I see that guys are transferring photo files from tumblr here and adding them to their albums.  I hate the idea of censorship.  #FREETUMBLR!!1tumblr_otqxin9JXY1rj75hwo1_540.thumb.jpg.25542beb6de28a281a70a06d08d4251b.jpg

I am one of the NSFW tumblr bloggers who will no longer be welcome at tumblr (as of this Monday).  Over the last 5 years I have reblogged many, many pics (and a few videos) on tumblr, with an eye out for photo quality, as well as meeting the criteria of what turns me on.  I have saved each one to my PC.

So I have thousands I could share here, but I expect many of them are already posted.  I've read the help menus and searched the forums for reference to duplicates, but I haven't found, yet, any comments or topics specifically dealing with this problem.  I know I can use software to identify duplicates within my own collection, but is there any reasonable way to avoid posting duplicates of pics that already have been posted here?

Great questions, @JoshJ  Have you decided other platforms to transfer your hot uploads?  I'm guessing you have seen a lot of chatter on #tumblrstinks about this.  I've used wordpress and just got this message, Your Tumblr import was successful.

I haven't transferred any uploads anywhere, as of yet.  Yes, there have been many remarks and much chatter posted on Tumblr about Tumblr's abandoning of NSFW.

Tumblr itself, over the years, has intentionally encouraged a vast group of minority communities, communities which it is now rejecting.  New platforms might succeed at replicating Tumblr's structure, but the networks of communities took years to develop and now must begin again elsewhere.

I have looked at other platforms mentioned by Tumblr bloggers.  There are several sites that welcome NSFW material.  Most seem to be more suited for content creators and online models or personalities.  Some sites have an emphasis on communities.  These approaches are of great value, but are not the "microblogging" networks that Tumblr encouraged.

There seem to be at least 2 sites being developed with the purpose of replicating Tumblr's structure, but neither are ready (at this moment) for the anticipated hordes of Tumblr refugees.

In any case, I feel welcome here and I'm glad to be a member.

Concerning DUPLICATES, I see at least one recently-joined member is posting pics from tumblr without changing their names.  This actually seems like a GREAT idea to me.  I anticipate doing the same when I upload any of my tumblr pics.

That way if someone goes to download one of our duplicate posted pics, and already has a copy of it, in that folder, his PC will ask him if he wants to erase the existing one or change the name - thereby making it immediately known to the downloader that he's already got it.

This makes me feel a little less worried about posting duplicates being a problem.

Thanks for this great discussion, and especially the above comments by @JoshJ.  I look at this issue from both a personal perspective (I love Tumblr for the porn!) and a community administrator perspective.  

I've been watching the Tumblr discussion with intense interest for any and all potential news of where some of my most favorite tumblrs will be migrating.  It's incredibly unfortunate because I think there's no clear consensus.  While there are several options, one of my worries is that because no clear option is becoming the front-runner, everyone will scatter.  Some will go to obvious fall-back choices like Twitter and Reddit; some will go to micro-communities that are primarily adult; others will drift to niche communities for gaming, adult performers, artists, etc. 

The two networks that I personally like are Sharesome and Mastodon, but they're not a perfect replacement for the ease of Tumblr.  I've also been watching the announcement of Cumblr, which doesn't have anything yet to offer yet besides a sign-up.  The others are either blogging platforms or paid platforms.  

In the world of adult content, this is one of those events that comes once-in-a-decade.  The repercussions from Tumblr's decision will reverberate for a long time, and cause shockwaves throughout any community sites that deal with adult content.  I've visited every site offered as an alternative to Tumblr, and most of them are either totally shut down, inoperable, or very slow due to the high volume of users.  They can't handle the large volume of users looking elsewhere, and it was one of my concerns when evaluating our site in the context of Tumblr's decision.

I'm just as interested as everyone else to see where users are going!

 Tapblr is another new networks that I'm watching. 

However, most of these newer networks are sustainable. Based on experience from our modest community, there  are things like image optimization, image compression, video embeds, lazy loading, and financing that I just don't see well thought-out with some of these other platforms.

I have had my NSFW tumblr blog too and it's mostly empty now but interestingly some pics made it to the filter and the notes on my best video even doubled, fuck tumblr. lol

I also had a look at those new platforms and personally hoped a lot for cumblr to become a valid alternative. Also because they chose their name so well. But unfortunately the site is not performing at all.

I also registered at Reddit but I am not getting warm with the site.

I am thirsting for a similar tumblr because I have lost a major part of my jack off material. 😭

Cumblr -- site is way too slow for me, and it's virtually a re-skin of a software you can buy off the shelf tumblerclone.com

Sharesome - whoa there's too much straight porn, and you're required to upload a verification before you can upload images.

blip never was on Tumblr

blip is pure of heart and deed

twitter - more or less - claims to have a ban on nudity and yet it is still there

 

one should fear not these sort of rulings

as one site vanishes

very shortly thereafter another appears

 

anybody remember MySpace or GeoCities?

I still haven't found a worthy replacement with the ease of use as Tumblr.  Cumblr just closed down again for maintenance a couple of days ago, Sharesome is too incentivized with their flame tokens.  

Cumblr is honestly some cheap off the shelf Tumblr clone that you can buy for $50 USD (literally called tumblrclone.com or something).  It's not easy running a huge platform though, you need to think about things like distributed servers, server loads that can handle thousands of online users, and especially media. Media for images is easy with storage, compression, and bandwidth. Media for video is hard with tons of storage, encoding for all the video forms, compression, and tons of bandwidth.

Someone made me aware there’s a site to browse censored tumblr blogs uncensored. It’s quite interesting:

https://www.tumbex.com/

You just have to enter the tumblr blog name and it works. 😲
