Tumblr is still broken and I gave up trying to get Tumblr to responding to my support requests. So I guess no more Tumblr as they have soft banned me, since my account can still login and I can still use my sub-blogs, but can’t post or reply to any posts with my primary one ☹️
This will be the last time I talk about Tumblr unless something changes, I’ll just continue to use it as a place to find images to use.
You could follow me on BDSMLR… if it wasn’t broken too at the moment 😉
I found a fix to the issue I was having with BDSMLR before, it turns out their infinite scroll code is broken, so all you have to do is disable it and go back to the paged interface and things work again.
Of course, for the last three days BDSMLR has just been throwing HTTP errors 99% of the time (it did come back up for a short while a day or so ago), so perhaps it really is dead this time, we’ll have to see.
This seems like a good time for a quick reminder that you can follow my blog through the Fediverse, so if you have a Mastodon account or something you should just be able to search for me at:
@posts@thehandsthatlead.blog And get all my daily posts in your feed through whatever client you prefer to use.
This also seems like a good time to remind any other creators that might be reading this that self-hosting is important 😉

I’ll check it out, but a quick look at their ToS might have a few issues:
Absolutely Prohibited:
Non-consensual content (revenge porn, hidden camera footage, etc.)
Content depicting rape, sexual assault, or non-consensual activities
Unfortunately MC often falls into the non-consensual category for most services 🤷

Have you considered just setting up a new tumblr tied to a new email? Though starting from zero does seem painfull, oof. Hope you figure out the bdsmlr thing! Thankfully, this blog exists!

The problem with setting up a new Tumblr is that unless I know *why* they soft banned me, it’s likely it will just get soft banned again. So yes I considered it, but no I’m not doing it.
Fortunately(?) BDSMLR is back up and seems stable for the time being.
These are the exact kinds of reasons why I created my own self-hosted blog 😁
