Yep. I’ve put in a complaint to tumblr, they say it’ll be “a while” before it’s fixed There’s nothing I can do about it, unfortunately; IFTTT crossposting is also busted. I’m going to try to remember to crosspost to Pillowfort, but that will only be new posts, not reblogs or responses to comments. And let me tell you right now I’m not good at remembering.
The posts still appear to be showing up on peoples’ dashes, at least? I’m still getting likes and comments….
Interesting addition to this – if I select “hide copperbadge.tumblr.com” in my settings (settings > click on copperbadge > scroll down), then it forces copperbadge.tumblr.com to open in a sidebar on your dash. Which I hate, but when I do that, ALL my posts appear. So it’s not a universal muting, it’s just an issue with loading the front page in a new window instead of inside your dash.
So for people who are looking for a fast unmute, give that a try, I guess.
this post will be updated as I find more websites to add! please check with the original before reblogging to see if there’s an updated version, and message me with more suggestions if you have them!!
for general use
myspace.com – yes, it still exists, i’m just as surprised as you
soup.io – very similar to tumblr, plus it can import your tumblr blog
twitter.com – allows posting both text and photos in sets, allows retweets
livejournal.com – still an option, but questionably safe for fandom
wordpress.com – old and well-established, often considered the default
geared towards artists and photographers
deviantart.com – huge community, allows posting art + sorting into folders
flickr.com – great community for photographers, can join groups
furaffinity.net – similar to DA but for furries, easy to display commish info
instagram.com – photo and video posts, excellent tag search
piczel.tv – allows both streaming and posting art / photosets to a gallery
pixiv.net – huge anime art community, allows livestreaming
paid platforms
patreon.com – subscription-based access to many diff types of content
pillowfort.io – still in beta, but should function almost identically to tumblr
typepad.com – similar to wordpress but with reblogging and a dash
ways to save your current tumblr posts
use the wayback machine! you do have to archive each page of your blog individually but once you do all the content, including media, will be saved exactly as it was at the moment you archived it.
wordpress and soup both allow you to directly import whole tumblr blogs, and if i recall correctly it’s something both dreamwidth and pillowfort have said they are working on.
if you have some knowledge of computers you can try this github solution which uses a python script to download your whole blog to your computer.
even if you don’t know anything about programming or the command line
they give a very good beginners tutorial on how to use it so you should still give it a shot!

I did the github/python based backup and its all in place. Thx for that one.
I’m on A03, twitter, dreamwidth and insta under blktauna
when pillowfort sorts itself out, i’ll go there as well.
incorrect: “media, will be saved exactly as it was at the moment you archived it.”
They may save it. The only way to guarantee that they save it is to run the image URL through the WBM as well as the post. They will not be able to save audio or video.
I actually do have misgivings about dividing the world into sanitised services free from the horror of the insufficiently artistic nude figure and services based on 100% hardcore pornography, which is what you tend to get once you start enforcing the porn/not-porn divide; I mean there are obvious incentives at play but it does seem worth noting that a Tumblr user potentially could curate a personal experience that includes erotic elements without subjecting themselves to the seventeen varieties of digital chlamydia they would immediately contract on visiting PornHub, and that banning this will eliminate various forms of mildly playful or experimental sexuality, forcing everything and everyone into an strict all-or-nothing paradigm.
a really good genre of tumblr post is the ones that claim “THIS 15-YEAR-OLD HAS DISCOVERED A CURE FOR CANCER” with no source link, and the first comment is “HIS NAME IS _______” and the second comment is “figures that so few results come up on google, no one is talking about this. spread the word!”
and then you google it and the only results are websites called like ‘youshare.buzz’ and ‘trendcatch.ly’ linking back to the original post, and the picture attached to the original post is from an unrelated huffpo article from 2011, and you google the name given and it’s a famous haitian accordionist
That’s a good question! Carnotaurus and other abelisaurs have ridiculously tiny arms:
Those two bones that look like the wrist? That’s the entire forearm.
There’s some indication that they may have been especially flexible, which could point to them being used in some sort of display or other intraspecific behaviour. It’s also quite possible that they just…didn’t really serve any function. They could just be vestigial – that is, an evolutionary “leftover” that just hasn’t had the pressure to evolve away (like kiwi wings, or whale hips).
reblog these illegal abelisaur arms while you still can. the info staff DOESN’T want you to know!
