So with Tumblr officially banning porn and using an algorithm to auto remove all porn starting 12/17. What will the new alternative. I loved having my 1000s of like posts and all favorites I reblogged. Soon it will all be gone.

Any other apps out there that allow porn in a endless scroll style.

I'm almost also interested in saving my likes and reblogged if anyone has ideas better than saving individual posts.

I also saw this, for me sudden, message. I am in the same boat. Some way to continue would be nice, so I am also open for suggestions.
Also I do find this move from Tumblr strange. They gonna cut off a good portion of their user base. I smell a change of ownership going on there.

This is terrible news. ARRRGGGHHH!

No, this is good news IMO. I have had young family members of mine access things on Twitter and Tumblr in the past, it a dangerous place and wrong influence to many. Social media websites should be free from porn. The only place porn should be is on porn websites that are 18 +.

Tumblr to ban all pornographic content

The new policy comes weeks after the site was pulled from Apple's App Store after child abuse images made it past Tumblr's filters.

Bunch of pedos were using tumblr because it was not moderated properly. I am glad they closing that stuff down.

Tumblr was set up so that 18+ content was filtered by default, you had to specifically go in and enable mature content in the settings. Now, that's not to say that it's very hard for a minor to do that, but it's actually more protection than they would have found going on "porn websites that are 18+" .

There's some speculation that the Fosta-Sesta laws coming into effect in the states (which hold a website owner responsible if anything resembling sex work occurs on there server) had a lot to do with the decision. Verizon, who owns tumblr, was likely informed by it's legal department of the risks held by this development and decided to bail on the project.

We may see this happening to more and more sites that host adult content in the near future.

humblr.social is where a lot of tumblr porn is shifting to. The site is a little overwhelmed right now with the huge increase in numbers but hopefully they can adapt.
