My blog has lewd on it and it's still up. How long should I wait it out for?

>>3686457
Most of the bigger named ones like cutesexyrobutts is dead already. It's only a matter of time it will get to you.

>>3686456
What's an alternative for Tumblr?
Twitter is hell for art posting, DA is full of shit and pixiv is not only completely censored, but also owns whatever you post there

>>3686456
>Tumblr is killing everything NSFW 100% now
wtf, what's going on, I live under a rock

>>3686463
They had a problem with pornbots and the solution was to nuke everything marked NSFW

>>3686459
>but also owns whatever you post there
Explain.

>>3686459
everyone I know posts their shit on instagram

>>3686456
instagram. how dumb are u? ig is number 1 now for the past 5 years.

>>3686466
I ficking hate instagram they auto crop your art unless its a perfect square

>>3686465
I remember reading something about Pixiv changing their contract to something along the lines of "We own the art you post and we can sell it without your concent".

>>3686466
Isn't Instagram a pain to use

Let us take this opportunity to claim territory in deviant art since its being re made we can launch a crusade and mass favorite each other and drive the furry from the front page.

>>3686469
>>3686472
that's the funny thing, the more popular the platform the shittier it tends to be for actually hosting your art

wtf is this real???? please tell me this is not real

>>3686473
>I can finally go back to where it all began
Can we really do it, anon?

>>3686473
they don't allow explicit sex acts, only nude
which fucking SUCKS
WRYYYYY

>>3686481
Example

>>3686484

>>3686456
Nothing of value was lost.

Based tumblr. Fuck you degenerates; go outside and find a partner to have sex with like a normal human.

>>3686507
>Wasting time with sex when you could be drawing
ngmi

Mastadon and baraag is the new spot. Or twitter.

>>3686463
>>3686464
Apparently the tumblr app got removed from the app store for all the sexual content too.

It's time for you to learn how to code and create your own site

>>3686466
>>3686468
Speaking of instagram, I've just started using it recently. Is posting stuff in a shit ton of tags basically the only way to get new followers on that site? Not even anything similar to the reblog/retweet function Tumblr and Twitter have?

>>3686512
>Mastadon and baraag is the new spot
Just signed up for it, thanks.

>>3686507
But Anon artist are not the one that want the lewd art instead of sex they are working to provide a service to those that want it.

this is really strange though. how can they afford to kick out what has to be over half their traffic generating content creators? this is really strange. and fucked up. most of my traffic, promotional effort and commissions come through tumlbr. fuck guys. fuck fuck fuck fuck.

>>3686507
>3dpd

MIne is still up. This better not be real since Tumblr is where I have most of my audience by far

>>3686536
lost 46,000 followers this morning, it's real. Luckily i moved most of them to other sites throughout the year.

Reminder to use TumblTwo or TumblThree to back either yourself or the artists you follow up
Especially lesser known artists you're aware of

>>3686456
>Apple shenanigans in a non free website
Don't call it a grave, this is the future you choose.

>>3686540
damn

>>3686540
you didn't lose anything, they were all inactive or bots.

Newgrounds unironically

>>3686584
at least half were active judging by the activity

I use tumblr and don't post nsfw, I have a little audience there, just do it fore fun ~500 followers after 7 months; is twitter a good alternative? I draw fan art and requests mostly; should I expect a good response there too?

>>3686598
nope

>>3686598
twitter is more popular and it's far easier to check a post's comments than tumblr.

>>3686598
Yes.

>>3686456
Stop drawing porn then
>>3686494
Best post. Tumblr is dying anyways

>>3686459
>and pixiv is not only completely censored
Only the genitals and people can get away with just a tiny black bar. Also most western artists post uncensored stuff on pixiv anyway, they don't ban you, they just tell you that your art can't be put on the daily top 10 ranking. I've also never seen Pixiv selling people's stuff, in fact Pixiv has a side page where artists sell their own work instead ala patreon, called pixiv fanbox.

I was hit by this, and I didn't even post porn. I only set the blog to NSFW to filter out annoying people.

If this was indeed a mass purging of adult content, they should have at least warned users beforehand so that content and contacts could be backed up.

>>3686609
fucking owned.

>>3686607
Plus even the people who censor sometimes just post the uncensored version in the image's description as an imgur link.

>>3686529
>>3686540
oof

>>3686600
>>3686601
>>3686602
Thank you frends, honestly just wondering because I have focused on growing there since I started and the interface kinda comfy... but if it a dead platform soon (honestly porn artists are the only good thing in there) might as well branch out

>>3686612
Nah, Tumblr was my backup blog. I mainly use it to follow people. That's the most annoying thing about this though, having to rebuild bookmarks.

At least Twitter makes it easy to export that data. I don't think Tumblr ever had a tool for that.

>>3686620
>At least Twitter makes it easy to export that data.
how?

>>3686621
Go to https://twitter.com/settings and click on "your twitter data" near the bottom. It'll export your current follows/followers and text posts in a database file.

>>3686623
nice

>>3686635

shit better go masturbate to those sexy women whilst I still can.

at least my favorite blog ever beautifulcmnf.tumblr.com is still alive


how do you fags post tags on twitter anyways? so you post the photo then the tags on the comment by hashtags, or do you just write a description and that will appear in searches?

can someone make a service that allows me to post on

patreon
instagram
mastodon
twitter
gab
newgrounds
da
furaffinity
hentaifoundry
pixiv
and your mothers church meeting billboard

simultaneously??? please somebody do this, i'd give my left nut. it would save me an ungodly amount of time and worry.

>>3686486
Then Thanos snapped his fingers, and half of your porn was gone.

Why are they killling off all the NSFW tumblrs? Now I'm gonna have to readd them on other platforms which is annoying as hell.

>>3686689
this, why isn't this a thing yet

>>3686689
>he doesn't have a personal assistant doing that for him
disdain for plebs

Anons I have potentially good news. Pic related. maybe it's not deliberately nsfw accounts but just random or unlucky accounts.

Go here:

>>3686702
That's a thing? How do I find an english speak peanut-wage virtual assistant who has a triple digit IQ and whom I can entrust with login info the essentially my livelyhood? I'd get my gf to do it but she's studying to become a lawyer LOL (layer woman marrying some porn drawing retard, can you believe that).

>>3686728

>>3686466
Holy shit I fucking hate this so much. Why isn't there a good alternative to this useless normie platorm aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

>there is now a power vacuum
Hehehe

I can feel loli porn getting crushed harder everywhere soon.

this is what I keep seeing get posted around today in response.

>>3686750

>>3686507
Porn is unironically a good way to learn anatomy

>>3686752
Can you make a screengrab of this? The post won't display unless I'm logged in, and I don't want to be arsed with making a new account while waiting for this issue to be resolved.

>>3686766

Oh thank fucking god, seems like it was a false alarm...

>>3686778
according to who?

>>3686768
Thank you kindly.

Fingers crossed they can restore my account.

>>3686780

many people. hop on your tumblr and check the feed, you'll find countless posts sharing and talking about this. many people have had their accounts nuked, but upon contacting tumblr had their accounts reinstated within 48-72 hours without any issues. apparently tumblr's algorhytm bot-sniffing is unreliable and bans people left and right that aren't bot accounts. maybe the use of certain features or posting-patterns triggers it, I don't know.

Bottom line is, tumblr banning all nsfw creators is FAKE NOOSE.

>>3686768
>>3686786

What is the e-mail?

>>3686792
Or maybe it was real but they rescinded from all the backlash. Who knows.

>>3686792
I've seen like one post mentioning that one dude's friend got his blog back. I can't discern whether this is tumblr being outright malicious or just plain inept, but I don't think they care enough that there's a difference.

I sent in an email to support a few hours ago but I honestly doubt that anything will come of it. People trying to say there's hope all seem to be running on baseless rumors.

>>3686554
Artists don't understand open source, they all use Photoshop/CSP on their Mac using hardcore lockdowned hardware because they're all brainlets.

>mfw I create superior art using a superior workflow on a superior operating system

>>3686456
>advertise in twitter
>post gallery in piczel

This is the only way to do it

Use Piczel

>>3686689
it already exists http://www.postybirb.com/

>>3686821
I think most sane people pirate photoshop

>>3686456
>Where to next for follow lewd artists?
Newgrounds

i have two loli blogs up and running

>>3686456
>Mastodon
An alternative to twitter. It takes a little getting used to but it's not controlled by a single group of idiots like Twitter is. Instead, you join different servers or "instances" that are each managed by it's own admin(s) with it's own set of rules to abide by.
baraag.net is one that lets you post nsfw and loli

>Newgrounds
They recently got a facelift to their UI. It's not too bad honestly. You can put art submissions into General, Teen, Mature, or Adult ratings. They also allow lossless image uploads

>Piczel.tv
unintuitive UI, and overall sketchy looking. but they offer streaming and gallery hosting on the same site so.. keep your eye on this one

Overall, Newgrounds would be my first pick. They allow NSFW because users can choose to filter it if they choose. And they already have a large userbase. They've been established forever, so you don't have to worry about it suddenly going away like most new sites do.

Search Github/Gitlab for IG clones and host your own for personal use. Or learn JS and write one.

>>3686951
atta boy.

>>3686456
Mastodon(baraag.net) and privateer for twitter users

>>3686482
>>3686483
If DeviantArt finally allows porn they can take advantage of the NSFW hole Tumblr left. This would he the perfect opportunity to reboot their website if they can get a good filter system running so people can avoid looking at certain fetish art.

There's pixiv but you have the chance of getting your uncensored porn removed on pixiv.

I would love for deviantart to be popular again.

>>3686951
In tumblr? Do you have any warnings?

if you don't got your account banned it means you still haven't made it tbph

>>3686473
lmao the furries are among you

All these alt sites are cute and all, but barely anyone visits them so it's pointless.

the worst thing about this is you're now gonna get even more tumblr subhumans migrating to other sites.

Tom Fulp's community is unironically based af

>>3686512
>baraag
>every single account has a different url base
holy shit that's a NoScript nightmare

>>3687064
Nope no warnings so far
>>3686984
Tehee

>>3686466
instagram is shit though and you won't get any serious followers on there, only normies who like your shirt occasionally. Also no porn

>>3686540
hm what sites are you referring to?

>>3686635
>>3686639
post screenie pls

>uploading art on a social media based website and not an art based website
LOL

>>3686519
No, talking to other artists, liking, commenting and following their stuff is what will get you followers.

>>3686847
>postybirb

well thanks for letting me know. but i just tried it and it's absolute garbage. out of 6 million sites i was only able to login to 2. every other site gave me issues and i had to triple and quadruple check my password, but when i tried logging in through browser it worked. not on postybirb though, complete shit tool.

fucking upsetting when you have a problem, and someone makes a solution, and the solution is garbage. it's like why did you even bother mr postybirb developer you stupid fucktard. this could have been such a great tool. fuck.

>>3687382

i retract this. only DA is giving me issues.

>>3686821

>>3687526
false alarm, tumblr anti bot went stupid

>>3687541
idk some people have lost tens of thousands of followers, apparently mostly those who have nsfw stuff

>>3686456
Nowehere, DIE, YOU FILTHY DEGENERATES OR JOIN THE PATH OF LIGHT AGAIN

>>3686529
No, you got it in reverse : most of the traffic being porn IS what's fucked up. Literally.

>>3687582
The only good thing about Tumblr is that it's one of the few decently popular social media platforms that allows porn to be posted which is kind if ironic considering the people that stereotypically use it. Almost every blog I follow on Tumblr is a porn art blog.

>>3687155
So is NG going to be a viable option or do I have a better chance of getting people on the street to follow me if I throw my printed art at them than uploading it there?

>>3687584
>Still available for Android users
Get fucked applefags

>>3687593
Nigga go for it. It's a circlejerk of creators because so few people post there nowadays. I got 100 followers over the course of a week after getting scouted and posting my first shitty art pieces to the front page. I dont usually link to it on my other social media accounts because I doubt many people will go there but it's pretty much where I upload all my stuff before taking it to the main stream sites.

As shitty as it may be, literally everyone is kinda migrating to newgrounds or just shitting themselves on twitter.

>>3686463
Tumblr's IOS app was taken down from the store cause apparently there was a shit ton of CP on it??? And as 'damage control' they're purging decently sized tumblrs (it didn't matter if it was nsfw btw, a lot of gaming and lifestyle tumblrs got nuked too) off the site with no warning.

Come back to the light or prepare for suffering & punishment, demons.

>>3687586
I found that paradox interesting too & always wondered how this happened.

>>3686456
I was about to start posting my work online (non-lewd). Should I still bother with Tumblr or can I forget about it? It's too early to tell isn't it?

>>3687797
It's not worth getting into tumblr anymore, it's impossible to build a following there now

>>3687797
You're non-lewd, you'll be alright anon...

>>3686456
All my favorite petgirl tumblrs are gone

>>3687824
RIP

>>3687382
werked fine for me when i tried it some months back. Posted fine on da, tumblr, and various furfag sites

>>3686456
It's a grim day for nsfw artist for sure. At least if you're into pony or furry nsfw there is already fur affinity and derpibooru to back you up. Sucks for everyone else though. Time to backup every other blog out there.

>>3687968

it's false alarm mate.

>>3686728
Hire a third world person who is fluent in english and use a service that entrusts access to your accounts without giving the password to them. I have VA from Venezuela who manages all my posting and work schedule so I can simply focus on drawing.

>>3687786
is there even a process of this guy

>>3687974
quit saying it's a false alarm like that changes anything- tons of people still got nuked, including me, and most of them are so pissed off about how incompetent the site owners are that they're jumping ship even if they do get their blogs back

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is just their plan to get rid of nsfw artists without having to deal with the backlash that would come with outright banning them; if a simple "false alarm" causes them to pack up and leave, nobody is really to blame, right?

>>3686847
>http://www.postybirb.com/

>>3686456
stop drawing porn you fucking nigger

Rude. I'll draw you next.

>mfw just started popping off with NSFW shit 2 months ago
Let me bask in glory a little longer you absolute fucking faggots

>>3688023

they would lose an insane amount of traffic. there is no way they could afford a move like that. you will without any doubt get your blog back. i do understand your frustration though, and it's completely justified.

What do you all think about moving to Newgrounds?

>>3688278
welcoming community, and they updated their UI so it's less shit. It's really hit or miss desu

>>3688278
thinking about it. do they have a tagging and filtering system?

>>3686456
They banned me even though my blog was SFW only, with some mild ecchi but nothing NSFW

didnt even receive a warning or explanation
Wish we had art sites like the east has, where as long as its legal they dont care what you upload

>>3688415
Paheal.

>>3688420
paheal is lewd only init? or something like 99% lewd. Dont want to be THAT guy to post all his art when people just want to fap

>>3688278
I made an account just in case, but I want to wait at least a week to see where this Tumblr mess leads to before I waste all my time re-uploading 100+ pictures.

>>3688278
newgrounds is shit these days, they ban you for lewds or edgy stuff unless youre a really big name like shad or Zone.

Newgrounds from the 2000s was an entirely different beast

>>3688433
>Ban you for lewds

>>3687155

>>3688437
I made an account there earlier this year. Uploaded some older pictures and all of it got removed for breaking their rules, contacted a mod and he said they were going for a clean site policy and that hentai was not okay

Now, its entirely possible that with tumblrs banwave they see and opportunity and decide to relax their rules but Im just saying this dont be surprised if your shit gets removed later on

>>3688437
oh wait it was because I posted censored loli

>>3688437
>>3688440
which makes no sense since Zone has the most popular flashes, featuring underage characters and so does Shad

>>3687586
this surprised me to
I always remembered tumblr as a sjw hellhole with smut
turns out there is a lot of great art blogs that have nothing to do with politics

now this happens

>>3688440
So shad and zone's Loli porn is okay but when someone less popular does it all of a sudden it's bad?

As dumb and unrealistic as the whole "build your website if you don't like this one" shit sounds, technical fuck-ups of this magnitude should really force people to at least reevaluate how much time and effort they invest into social media platforms they have no real control over.

>>3688476
Thats a dumb way of looking at things.
Even if you make your own website, and it somehow becomes a succes, a big company will buy you out and force their changes or the advertising companies will force you to change or cut your revenue.
Google and other sites could start blacklisting you too.
And these people have enormous budgets and power, the power of small groups means nothing to them

>>3688476
The benefit of using a mass media website is the opportunity to spread your work beyond existing fans & gain new ones, along with finding others who produce work like yours
Much more difficult to get that with a personal gallery

>>3686607
Pixiv releases a yearly book in Japan that sells the top rated art in it.

>>3688477
Monopoly was a mistake

>>3688476
The real worrisome thing to me is how many fucking people I'm discovering use social media to host master files of their art. I'm seeing a lot of people saying they've lost years worth of art due to the purge. Mother fucker, you don't have a fucking copy on your hard drive? Why the hell not? It's like storing important shit in your school locker instead of a safety deposit box or even your own fucking house.

On a side note, I have my own server that I'm considering just throwing together a website and re-uploading my shit there and using social media to promote that with the little "Just uploaded, here's a preview, check it out on my site". People won't exactly get to follow the website per-se, but it would be an indefinite hosting place while the years go by and I keep having to move from art site to art site to art site. That's the method most web comic artists do and I'm starting to think it's a good one.

>>3688487
I never click through those links personally. A text blurb or highly cropped thumbnail doesn't catch my interest

>>3688266
This is Yahoo we're talking about here, this shall be Geocities 3.0.

Fuck it, I'll just start uploading my shit on Blogspot.

aren't they restoring everything now? seems like a knee jerk reaction.

>>3688266
the damage is done. Even if *everyone* gets their blog back(which is very unlikely), most artists have lost faith in the platform.

>>3688496
one of my friends got their blog restored this morning. I had some hope... until he got RE-nuked just a few hours later??

It's like they're just trying to be unpredictable at this point

Ok. So purge have started about 2 days ago, and i've got fucked only sometime today. So this "glitch" is ongoing at very least.

Anyway. Better question is what alternative there is to tumblr? HF, FA...what? Weasyl? Does anyone using it? And newgrounds really will be able to tolerate /d/ stuff just like that?

>>3686792
Apparently people that got their accounts back are getting re-deleted? I'm not sure it's all blown over.

>>3688477
>Even if you make your own website, and it somehow becomes a success, a big company will buy you out and force their changes or the advertising companies will force you to change or cut your revenue.
Illustrates the dilemma of creating anything on the web quite nicely doesn't it? Place your trust in mainstream websites not to fuck your shit up for whatever reason or strike out on your own and risk being de-platformed by other services. That might sound ridiculously dire, but that's kinda where we're at.

>>3688487
>The real worrisome thing to me is how many fucking people I'm discovering use social media to host master files of their art. I'm seeing a lot of people saying they've lost years worth of art due to the purge.
Sad, but not surprising. Preparing for the worst doesn't become an instinct until the worst has already happened to you.

Any thoughts on Pillowfort as a replacement for Tumblr?

>>3688514
twitter seems to be where people are moving to the most

>>3688561
Im worried about twitter though, they ban thought crimes and people they dont like. It seems like a matter of time before they start purging

>>3688564
just stay away from any kind of political discussion, unless your art is based solely on that. that's what'll get you, if you post tiddy they won't even know you exist

>>3688564
Just don't be republican then . . . lmao . . .

>>3688511
Or they are still having problems. If they didn't want nsfw suff then they'd just make a statement.

>>3688566
There is little reason to believe twitter wouldn't purge nsfw content if they have purged other content before. All of these popular websites are scrubbing themselves of impure content when they come to light. It's a matter of time until it becomes a problem for twitter, especially with its normie audience

>>3686456
Guys, I had a really bad idea; we should make a site

>>3688600
That is a bad idea

>>3688600
why would we do that when we have /ic/ desuwu

>>3688646
There's so many logical hurdles you've jumped through to get to this conclusion

theartistknownasbb tumblr is dead

it was about time. you can still find CP with the "wickr" tag still.

Anybody have any idea where RequiemDusk/TYPO went?

No one uses Artstation?

>>3689032
Artstation doesn't allow porn plus it's a massive industry circlejerk, no point in using it unless you want a job at a studio

>>3688925

Not going to search that shit, but what is the tag about?

>>3689032
you need to link a mobile or facebook to that crap

>>3688242
cirno is a child why does it seem like at least half of all porn artists are pedophiles?

>>3689143
>cirno is a child
wait what? I thought she was a drawing

>>3689143
Cirno is an old hag. She's aspergers though, so it's still immoral

>>3689027
IRL is keeping him busy.

>>3688234
Based AND redpilled. Porn is inherently shit and those who produce it should feel bad.

even my 4 posts / 2 followers tumblr got nuked wtf

I remember seeing something about copying your tumblr content to wordpress some years ago.
How is wordpress

>>3689049
the tag gets its name thanks to wickr, an app that is similar to whatsapp or telegram but this one supposedly gives the user complete anonymity.

due to this, the app can be used for everything and is mostly used by drug dealers. but you can also send and receive all kinds of shit and in this case, you have a safe way to contact distributors and get child porn.

I have four tumblrs and they're all still up. What am I doing right?

>>3689314
not tagging things and not being followed by pornbots, we assume. no word on what exactly is getting people shut down yet

Mastodon looks to be the best option right now in terms of what content they allow.

>>3688646
So was 4chan /b/ for a time, tell me, did mlp ever leave this site? Oh wait...

>>3688234
It's evidently not that simple
Safe for work blogs are getting deleted too, Tumblr seems to be mass deleting things all willy-nilly. A lot of it is being blamed on bad algorithms blindly doing the purging.

The lesson is, stop using fucking Tumblr

ugh bi agree anon. cant find any of my shit anymore since most artists tagged with nsfw. i may be a degenerate, but at least i used normie sites to view my nsfw

>>3689259

I looked it up on tumblr. Lots of sketchy pills stuff. Will I get the party van now?

>>3686458
Small guys are getting hit too.
>GoodBadArtist (a guy I follow whose panel isn't even forced to safe mode due to NSFW content) just got deleted

>>3686970
one thing to note about mastodon is that you can interact with users across instances. For example, I have an account on pawoo.net but follow people on baraag.net.

One exception is SJW-infested servers that cut themselves off from every other server but who gives a shit about those.

Isn't that instance made by pixiv? Do they try the same all your art belongs to us BS, too?

I want to just host a bare-bones gallery on my own server but allow anyone on mastodon/gnu social to follow my posts. Does anyone know if something already exists? In theory it should be relatively simple to do.

>>3686458
>>3689750
they got me by the second day im practically a noname
did have a lot of those pornbot followers though, no idea why besides it being an older account maybe

>>3689762
Some of it isn't necessarily sjw. For the most part a lot of places just ban instances that break laws the server is in like ones that host Loli. (Pawoo and baraag)

>>3690288
kinda dumb though to pick a server host in a place that has so many restrictive laws then, Im assuming theres a lot more and better options in the US

>>3690290
I thought Loli is a grey area in the us? Pretty sure I've seen people in the news at least "get caught" with it.

>>3690292
Loli/shota is legal in the US as long as it isn't a cartoon depiction of an actual real child or, to the discretion of the viewer, isn't believably realistic. What this means in actuality is that when people get busted for having CP, they can get additional time tacked on for also having loli; but, no one has been arrested only for having drawings.

>>3687222
thats mastodon. and your problem for using noscript. it has always been a nightmare. why are you complaining?

What about Ello, the creators network

>>3690295

Not in the US perhaps, but here in Sweden we have had people sentenced for having hentai comics with loli.

>>3690327
>>3690295
what? Im pretty sure I read about people arrested for just having loli in the US
while europe is more lax on it, besides sweden apparently

>>3690327
>Sweden
lol

maybe Ello? A bit fine arts focused but at its beginning I don't believe it was intended to

>>3690432
Fine arts people can't stomach porn at all. They also get quite mean around anything they don't like. I won't use a platform with a fine arts culture

>>3686464
I thought they were retarded when they pulled that "you must make an account to see NSFW stuff".
There's no way tumblr can survive this. Tumblr is for niche porn.

The artist i followed apparently uploads his digital works to tumblr then deletes original on his pc. Now he cries about it on facebook. LOL

>>3686484
Isn't all that caartoon show has been nucked since like 3 years?

He should've only used da or any art site that lets you upload psd's

Is there still no official statement from tumblr? I've emailed them a few times, no answer ever. Been a few days too.

We Don't Need Techno-Oligarchs We Can Make Our Own Websites.

>>3690911
Tumblr is notorious for never answering emails.

>>3686519
I thought using *too* many tags made it less likely for people to see your posts. Like some sort of anti-spam feature in the algorythm. I dunno, I don't use Instagram all that much

>>3686635
Could we SERIOUSLY see Neegrounds make a comeback? Really?

Yhe site sleaus allowed crazy shit on it but in 2018... idunno, risky waters.

>>3690929
it doesn't allow lolis. so is useless.
fictional crimes cucks.

>>3689157
>Porn is inherently shit
Explain

>>3690720
Man those people are trying really hard to look like some moral pillar

>>3690931
So where then? Baraag.net?

God why cant the japs just make a decent social network and use their servers? Why did Pixiv sudoku its contemt?

Stop complaining and move to twitter. lots of jap/korean audience and if you're worried about being reported for shota/loli/rape/gore/etc just upload previews to twitter alongside a link to privatter + use pixiv as a gallery and add twitter links in the caption of every pic to make stuff easier. It really is the only way since baraag/mastodon have less than 40k users combined

>>3690952
see
>>3690720

>>3690953
I saw it, and it's annoying but annoying people are everywhere, literally just block them, I really don't get why you let these people get to you, it's not like they can do anything to you (this isn't "controversial" problematic or even explicit) the only person who can do something about that piece is the cosplayer herself, if she doesn't want to have porn done of her then tough shit

>>3690950
it just depends on what you want to upload.

Baraag is a mastodon instance.
Mastodon instances are servers where you create an account to participate in the fediverse, which is made by many other instances and other microblog platforms like pleroma and shit.

You have to follow the instance rules to keep posting.
Baraag is hosted in France and you're free to post uncensored content and that's protected by law.

Pawoo is pixiv's instance so they have to follow the same japanese rules
- censor the genitals
- be bothered by all the fuckin moonrunes

create a mastodon account is a very important thing, read their rules and stay away form instances that are not hosted properly.
some of them can die tomorrow and you lose all your shit.

Baraag is a good one and the admin is very approachable.
also loli friendly.

All instances share the fediverse, sensitive warnings is the ideal behavior keep baraag and similar instances out of being censored by normie instances.

if you created your account in a cuck instance like "mastodon.social" the content of baraag or pawoo will not be available due censorship "in that instance". so you're not going to be able see or follow lewd people from baraag or pawoo

At the end, This is the same thing as using twitter, and twitter seems to be allowing lolis and a lot japanese users have an account, but is not clear if they are going to delete you eventually due their shady moves or normies reporting you as childporn if you draw lolis.

baraag and pawoo are pretty safe here.
pick your poison.

>God why cant the japs just make a decent social network and use their servers? Why did Pixiv sudoku its contemt?
pixiv don't delete content unless you're a faggot that don't follow the japanese rules of censoring your art,

Talking about a proper gallery. the best you have now is pixiv and furaffinity.
all the other sites tend to block loli content somehow.
but that's another topic.

>>3690717
Some people do this for videos of LPs they do on Youtube, but at least there it's because video files take up a shitton of space. Most drawings I do take up no more than 2 MB as a picture and 10MB as the PS file itself.

In today's world of 4+ TB external hard drives, that's 4000+ GB, meaning 4 million MB, you can't convince me it would take you less than a year to fill it up with 400K PS files and consider deleting old files long before that point. There's literally no reason to delete you work with how much space you can just store for shits and giggles.

>>3690974
pixiv deletes uncensored content? I see lots of foreign artists posting those with no issues.

>>3691062
It's likely if they can tell you're posting from Japan or something.

>>3690985
>2 MB as a picture
>10MB as the PS file itself.

I draw in canvases like 4000*4000
but I know people that draw in retarded big sizes.
And I've never had files that small.
maybe is because I use sai and most of my .sai files are between 150mb and 350mb

No idea about ps files. most of my medibang files are like 20mb.

the sum of my drawings, scraps and commission folder from mid 2017 is just about 50gb.
but even so. they are not that big to not save them. I used to write 1 dvd per month
and that was less than a $1us per month. there's no excuse.

>>3691062
some of them are not popular enough or they post the uncensored image as the 2nd one in a multiimage upload.
some of them just get reported. Deletes are made manually after all.

but in any case. pixiv doesn't delete your files right away.
they block/hide the post and want you to censor it and upload it again. unless you're a premium user so you can edit the post.

this happened to various friends and me included.

the only time i remember they deleting stuff without warning was in news various months ago.
there were some faggots abusing the report system, reporting shit as child porn. the files were re uploaded and pixiv changed their rules to stop faggots like them because for japan drawings are not illegal. even the external method they used for this had to change a little to stop this.

>>3691067
no matter where you post from, you need to follow the Japanese rules. that's there when you create your account.
the hosting is in japan. and all the shit has to be censored there.

Also. vaginas that don't show labia or clitoris or are practically safe. that's another thing.

>>3691069
>vaginas that don't show labia or clitoris or are practically safe
I always imagine the japanese congressmen all wanting to abolish that stupid law but nobody is bad enough dude to bring up the topic

Giving up hope on tumblr being restored. Anyone have a suggestion for a free blog platform that allows pages, has password protection, and does not require an account to browse? Popularity and other social media functions are irrelevant, as I'm only looking for a place to store links to book and video uploads to share with a small number of people. Twitter and any Google-related services are out, since I used those for other things.

>>3691069
Interestingly, I just did a test and apparently saving the same project in SAI format and PS format seems to show SAI having a bigger filesize on disk than the PS one. Pic related.

And I also scale my drawings to letterbox but with the height of 4096, basically 4K, and it normally don't get 100+ mb, but that's likely assuming you do more detail work then my style of work. Either way, yeah, no reason to dump your work unless it's been a year or so later, which at that point is up to you since you'd likely have improved drastically since then to just feel like redoing it if you want to preserve it in some way.

So what are the chances of tumblr ultimately getting shut down after this? I've been waiting to see this hell hole die off for years now.

Hard drives can die out of nowhere for seemingly no reason. My laptop hard drive died just a couple months back which was super shitty since I had a lot of legacy work from all the way back to 2012. Meant a lot to me since that was when I started posting in /tg/ and people gave me great advice. It's just one of those you don't really think about until it has already happened.

>>3691346
oh SHIT

>>3690343
>while europe is more lax on it
m8, it's also illegal and a punishable crime in Ireland and the UK along with a few other EU countries afaik.

>>3691102
It's already dying a long time now. A lot of people have jumped ship to twitter so everything on Tumblr feels super slow.
Porn was a lot of their traffic so I feel like getting rid of it is detrimental but in the long run I guess they think having a mobile app is the better move to attract a larger audience (which I can't see happening really, I think this is a bad move for them).
>>3691115
Google Plus is shutting down within the year because the fucks had been leaking personal user data for years and rather than fix their spaghetti code they decided to just get rid of it.

Yeah, this is clearly just an undercover coverup just to nuke it all, much like the new domain thing for 4chan coming soon. Guess it's time to move on. I hope my HF account keeps me a float, I'm going to start a Twitter soon just to advertise my shit, I already got links to my HD work since neither sites allow full rez works.

this.

holy shit WHAT

>>3691948
you cant update your works unless you buy premium. you have to resubmit if you want to update, unless its non file changes

Deviantart is much better !

>>3686456
Do anyone knows any other blogging platforms

My plan is to make a blog somewhere and link it on twitter, while posting previews there to catch attention

>>3690974
I think you're mistaken about FA. Furaffinity banned underage porn a while back. It's inkbunny that's okay with Cub, but they don't allow any human art.

>>3692053
Maybe just go old fashioned with a WordPress or personal site if you're just going to link it in another site anyway

>>3692053
If you can afford it maybe look into getting your own domain.

I pay about $120.00 a year for my site, although you could probably get cheaper if you shopped around a bit. Throw up a WordPress template linked to your Twitter and your good to go.

>>3692436
you're right. it was inkbunny. sorry I'm not a furry.
just saying that I remembered atm.

>>3692041
no lolis no buy.

>like the new domain thing for 4chan coming soon
since when was this happening and how would it change anything.

>>3692615
>since when was this happening
It's been going into effect this pass week and has already started yesterday. As of right now, all red boards are using 4chan.org domain, but all blue boards are using a new domain, 4channel.org, to make half of 4chan more "ad friendly" for marketers in a vain attempt to censor out the lewd boards.

The only problem right now is /v/ is raided by /pol/ very heavily since the beginning of this years, and now the shitposting on that board has hit critical in an attempt to get moot to revert the domain thing.

Hiro, my bad. I just remember the name moot better.

My thread made it to bump limit
Feels good. Thanks for everyone's input, so what's the vertic? Seems like it's sadly time to drop Tumblr and move on. I personal opinion is to just go to Twitter for shilling, using some other place to host HD work and just use previews on Twitter since image size gets compressed to all hell anyways to warrant a full pic view.

>>3693083
I think we should have a sticky to discuss and provide a link for all the possible site options artists have to display their artwork, sfw and nsfw.

Isn't mastodon the thing that was made because they thought twitter had "too many nazis" or some retarded bullshit like that?

>>3693719
No, but its main instance got a surge of users through that. Being on a different instance (i.e. baraag) completely spares you from it. The SJWs can't do anything to you except block you.

Although, I still believe you can follow/interact with certain people if you so chose. I'm on pawoo which is blocked by the main instance but I can still follow a few of the non-crazies.

Am I tripping or did tumblr completely remove the ability to see nsfw in the search results recently? The padlock icon. The search in general was fucking terrible but a while ago I tried testing it by searching some common as fuck porn tags and fucking nothing showed up.

>>3688566
I've seen twitter censoring tweets that simply mention loli recently. I don't know if it's an actual policy or if some rando mod just does it if he happens to see it, but twitter is not safe for pure art posting either.

>>3693719
Mastodon is a decentralized Twitter clone. It's the software. It's not inherently right or left wing, if that's what you were worried about.

Anyone can start their own social media site running Mastodon, then choose to connect or disconnect from other sites running Mastodon. Think of each Mastodon network as its own country with its own citizens, who may travel to and interact with citizens from other countries with whom they have diplomatic relations.

It's interesting in theory, but not a big deal in practice, and even less important for people who just want to browse. The thing that really matters is the posting policy of individual Mastodons. Pawoo has the best balance of content policy with user base size. Baraag has the most open content policy for artists.

>>3693844
No, they want to destroy you if you keep drawing gays fucking. (rightfully so)
