Friendly advice: don’t put money into Cumblr until they’ve shown design sketches or better: a working proof of concept.
The pitch is very light on details regarding implementation. The people running the campaign are anonymous. Their GoFundMe page has flexible funding, meaning they get all the money people donate, regardless of whether or not they make their goal. To me, that feels like a scam.
Their current site is barebones.(read: off-the-shelf site template) If there were people with project management, design or programming talent on board for this project, you could do a lot better than “it’s going to be like Tumblr for adult content” - either they have no plan at all, or will only start explaining it once they make the goal; which seems kind of sketchy, seeing as they set it to flexible funding.
And yet, 73 people have dumped $1,479 into that project.
Someone is putting the cart before the horse. As far as we can tell, there is no plan. There is an idea. There is a name. There is a domain name. There’s a logo that’s literally the name of the site in one ofthedefault Windows fonts. (Cambria) People should be super fucking skeptic about this.
But I get it. Now that everyone is panicking and scrambling to get away from Tumblr, people are willing to try anything because none of the alternatives fit for them. But that’s no reason to dump money into a crowdfunding project that is, as of right now, nothing more than a name.
Please ask whoever is running this Cumblr project to either share their plans, or give up this scam.
Well they finally did it, Tumblr is removing all adult content starting Dec 17th.
So folks it looks like Tumblr’s finally kicked the bucket, at least for nsfw artists. It’s been a fun ride and hell I probably wouldn’t even be making art still or know half the people I know today if I didn’t make an account here, but it looks like it’s time to move onto other sites.
I’ll be posting all my stuff on these sites from now on.
I’ll most likely be more active on twitter and pixiv since they’re a bit easier to use than the other sites at the moment. And I’m still trying to figure out what to do with all of my older content.
This will most likely be my final post but I’ll also be re-blogging it a couple times before this account closes.
I guess the last thing I would like to say is thanks to all 21,844 of ya, ignoring the porn bots for liking, sharing, commenting and messaging me over the past couple years. It’s been fun and I hope to see some of y’all on other sites. Damn this is cheesy as hell.
Other then that, I am putting most of my focus into Twitteras the main social media outlet. Newgrounds is also being setup, though it’s a little more self-contained and thus won’t be used for random posts and update notifications. Mostly just new original content posts.
Other places I am looking into is Reddit, though still unsure as it seems to not let me post video files to my profile. Piczel also allows uploading galleries and has its own follow feed, but I feel the video support needs a bit of work. I have already had a PornHub account for a long time, I just rarely posted to it. Might have to change that. I hope to make an account on Pillowfort as some point too.
Many other sites have been recommended to me, like Pixiv and Imagur, but one requires censoring, which I am not really fond of, and the other is just a gallery due to posting rules, which due to my site I don’t really need. Someone also pointed me to Mastodon, but I am weary of it right now.
Twitter will be my main hub, and I’ll post any news there once Tumblr goes under. I’m still searching through alternatives, as I’m not a fan of Twitter (or most social media platforms), but there’s nothing really suitable in a similar vein to Tumblr out there.
I’ll update this list if I add more.
On a bittersweet note, I hit 8K Followersthree days before Tumblr announced it was going to kill NSFW content…
I want to thank everyone who’s followed me and sincerely hope you’ll stick with me into the future!
If you want to keep up with my work, make sure to at least follow me on my twitter if nothing else, I’ll try my best to start using it more often D: on top of that, I’m opening my Patreon Discord to the public, can join if you want but it’s fairly ded because no one likes me ;-;
Also, remember you can support my work directly on Patreon, sadly I can’t post my work publicly to Patreon, has to be patron only if it’s NSFW iirc, but if you feel like you want to keep up with my work and support me while doing so, is only $1 a month to get access
Depending on how things go I might even end up quitting smut, or at least taking a fairly long break, I haven’t been super productive lately anyways and having my main platform yanked from beneath me only encourages me to throw in the towel, but maybe I can still keep a healthy follower base on these other sites and I’ll get back into it, who knows, but thanks for all your support and for everyone who followed me on here!
Will be reblogging this often up until the ban hammer hits
As an animator of “no-no bad stuff” I will be leaving Tumblr after their recent ban on NSFW content. If you’d like to keep following me, I plan to post on the sites listed below. I’ll leave this page up as long as it can exist, but it might be quarantined by the Tumblr staff soon.
Thank you all so much for enjoying my work! It’s been a fun 4 years on this site. I hope I can continue to interact with all you amazing fans and fellow artists! :)
Well, dear followers, all 14k of you (who are still amongst the living), seems tumblr has decided to kill a substantial amount of it’s userbase, time to move on! Right, let’s see here, I have a pixiv, a twitter, a deviantart and a patreon, from those I suppose the only place that’ll cater to the content I produce and you enjoy ware pixiv and twitter, so the content is going to end up there, with pixiv containing a censored version linking to an uncensored one (and I guess I’ll have to learn the Japanese tags for the stuff now, if any of you guys happen to be (or know) Japanese, I’d appreciate if you could send me a list of tag translations for the stuff I do, cheers). Anyhow, links:
That’s pretty much it, I’ve also got a discord profile I check like once a month, named
dawadd#8073
, ID 244946134999629824 if that means something, no clue. Oh and you can also pester me on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/dawadd123
I’m gonna consolidate links in this post, and reblog this every day until the 17th. Past the 17th, I don’t know how much I’ll use this site anymore. I’ve already bled about 100 followers since the announcement, and that will only continue to go down as people delete their accounts. I mean shit, even Urbanator deleted his entire Tumblr.
End of an era boys and girls. In the three years I was on this site, over 7,760 of you fellow freaks and geeks followed my work. I appreciate every last one of you.
So looks like it’s the end times for tumblr. Please join me on discord if you want to continue following my work! I may start a new blog somewhere else but I don’t have a game plan yet so discord will be the place to see new stuff I’m making and interact!
I’m sorry if this seems repetitive but I just want to make sure my followers see these links before it’s too late. I honestly don’t know if they’re just going to nuke my account on the 17th or shadowban me or just delete my blogs content entirely—they’ve not been forthcoming with details.
Twitter:https://twitter.com/Redmoa3D (just made, still figuring out how the site works. Not yet sure if I’ll even use it but it’s there if you’d like)
People have suggested Newgrounds but I’m still not sure how they handle SFM stuff.
Anyway, thanks guys for following me and liking/reblogging my stuff. I appreciate it lots. They say their allowing people to stay even when the purge happens I’d honestly rather be done with the site and move on.
Don’t really have much else to say beyond that. See ya and Happy Holidays.
