Not very bothered by this. Twitter never was that ideal of a place go upload images anyway since it recompressed all JPEGs uploaded to it. The only thing to worry about is whether their transparency detection is good enough to leave out stuff that actually needs it and compress stuff that used the loophole.

Semi-related to the Tumblr ordeal, apparently Twitter is also converting the formats of certain uploads starting February 11 (here and here)

2018-12-21T00:40:50-05:00

Most of the downscaled posts from Tumblr sources are probably not going to ever find replacements. On the site, most NSFW images and many SFW images were either flagged and hidden under Tumblr's new policy, or deleted because of the massive wave of users deleting their blogs.

Sounds like a pain to just reblog every post you like and then download it all for hours.

I almost forgot that Hentai Foundary is a place to post uncensored art. There's that.

2018-12-06T19:20:03-05:00

Is there a tag for all tumblr images that aren't the full (_raw) size images, or will they get tagged tumblr sample or replaceme? Those posts don't get tagged with md5 mismatch anymore, so I'm not sure which of my uploads are actually downscaled samples.

There seems to be a huge backlog right now, probably due to the impending apocalypse. It took ~2 days for me to get a 40GB blog backup available today.

I don't use Tumblr myself, but I've heard good things about TumblThree for batch downloading massive amounts of Tumblr content.

I think it's still possible to download raw sources from Tumblr, just very inconvenient. I don't think it's intended so it might be fixed, but with the upcoming ban on adult content I figured it's now or never. If you export a blog you run (Blog Settings -> Export) then you get seemingly full size images even from reblogs; I've received 20MB PNGs and JPGs from this export. I last tested this on Nov 24 as all my blogs are 10+GB and I'm on mobile currently. If there are any Tumblr artists who don't post to a proper art sharing site like Pixiv this may be useful.

2018-12-04T19:51:50-05:00

Either way, expect Tumblr to be less used as a resource to upload images from than even DeviantArt in the upcoming months. Like, removing RAWs is one thing but this is a whole other ballfield.

I'm just pissed that there are less places to find uncensored versions of people's art, much less popular places that people are more likely to use.

2018-12-04T02:39:18-05:00

Actually, for tumblr's policy update, the policy site now say, the ban against "adult content" mean
1. "Don't upload images, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples —this includes content that is so photorealistic that it could be mistaken for featuring real-life humans".
2. "Don’t upload any content, including images, videos, GIFs, or illustrations, that depicts sex acts."

So they are banning content that are considered "explicit" on danbooru but content classified as "questionable" on danbooru seems to be mostly okay, as long as they're drawing - unless the artist choose to use a realistic art style.

I meant Pixiv. Forgot to mention. I just wanted to clarify considering how complicated the law can be when applied to websites. I asked this because Tumblr used to be a great site to post and share uncensored art and now people don't have any other option besides Twitter. And Pawoo is not really an option due to their pretty bad image size limits.

Pixiv specify they follow Japanese law on their ToS

2018-12-04T01:20:55-05:00

I've heard stories of Tumblr's shoddy coding before so hearing about a bunch of SFW drawings and pictures get flagged doesn't surprise me.

Still, it's seems like they're making the same mistake Livejournal did years ago and it's pretty obvious they don't understand their own userbase (people across the whole userbase are angry) or their own actual problems and that they're trying to appease Apple.

Anyway, I guess we should keep our eyes open to see where people go.

Yep, Tumblr is hanging itself due ot incompetence. I hate Twitter with a burning passion because finding art is hellish when you have to scroll through tons of food photos and retweets, but everyone's migrating there so this is life now I guess. Newgrounds is good, but I get the feeling artists will prefer Twitter because it's easier to get views and popularity through retweets.

2018-12-03T22:21:28-05:00

By outright banning Adult/NSFW content, Tumblr is effectively pushing away the majority of their userbase to other sites (read: competitors) like Newgrounds, Pixiv, Twitter, etc. while killing off one of the few reasons to ever actually browse the site. Good job, Tumblr Staff. This might actually be the single dumbest action I've seen from a social networking site.

At least the artists that were posting there are already migrating towards other sites to post their artwork on and we have less non-raw Tumblr images to settle for.

If it's any consolation, this is basically the final nail in the coffin of tumblr, with no porn, there really isn't a reason to be on tumblr anymore.
