We’re No Longer On newTumbl (and we don’t recommend using it)

You might have noticed we’ve vanished from newTumbl.

We had been present there since the collapse of Tumblr and we’d built quite the following. We even encouraged other adult communities to join and we heavily promoted its use, hoping that it would be different from all the others.

Unfortunately, newTumbl is now doing what many other social networks have done in the past once they’ve used adult content and proclamations of “creative freedom” to build a user base.

They’re on a mass purge.

Rumors are they’re currently deleting hundreds of blogs per day, the vast majority of them are considered non-straight.

Let me be clear – we have never breached their terms of use, we even reported other users who did. We were responsible users of their platform and yet they still decided to end our use of it without consideration and without recourse.

We had big hopes for newTumbl when it started. It quickly became the leader of the pack among platforms created to take advantage of the implosion of Tumblr, but it’s now clear that even if you follow their terms of use to the letter you will still be nuked at the whim of a bigoted employee.

If the rumors are true all male-focused adult content there is being annihilated right now, so in the coming months we expect newTumbl to go the way Tumblr did when they enacted the same puritan crackdown on adult content.

While we have recommended newTumbl for our readers in the past, we no longer believe it’s a stable platform. Unless you’re just using it as a blank account for DMs and making contact and you don’t plan to post or repost anything, it’s not worth wasting your time there.

We absolutely do not recommend posting anything you don’t want to lose, or try to build a following there.

If you came here from our newTumbl blog while it was active, welcome and thank you for being here.

If you do have an account there please consider sharing this post to your followers and let them know we’ve been booted, perhaps they will come here and join the newsletter so we don’t have to rely on any bigoted social media platform. If you do, please use the tag #BuddyBate.

Fuck newTumbl 🙂
