the biggest failure was removal of porn from tumbler, they all fled to twitter, and pornhub.

    Automattic bought Tumblr after the porn ban.

    The ban happened because Verizon was trying to sell it.

    Also, there's still porn on Tumblr. They stopped trying to block it, now they just exclusicy ban trans women who post porn.

    Thanks for the link!

    Are you expecting a news article or what?

    I mean, yeah, that's how providing a source works. You provide me with a news article that contains sources, or the source itself.

    I just didn't expect any site to write about the bigot Tumblr mods that dispropotionally targeted trans girls for sexual posts that didn't usualy show nudity or even much skin.

    Most of me learning about this has been from personal experience and other trans girls on Tumblr, a few of the trans girl blogs i follow have been nuked this year by Tumblr staff and only one of them posted nudes.
