For some years now I’ve operated a Tumblr site (https://tumblr.cuckoldmarriage.info) to help appeal to and draw in curious and active couples to our community. Tumblr (now owned by Verizon after it acquired Yahoo!) has decided to ban all adult content from the Tumblr network as of the 17th of this month. This was decided, or at least further motivated by Apple pulling their app from the App Store over accusations Tumblr hadn’t done enough to prevent the use of the platform to distribute child pornography.
Tumblr has been an eco-sphere for the sex worker community (cam girls and the like) as well as alternative communities like our own who will all now need to find a new home. Twitter (@cuckoldmarriage) is of course an alternative and this community has been represented there for longer than I was on Tumblr, but I mainly post there automatically from here when I publish new articles and am not active on Twitter.
Many Tumblr refugees are trying out a Tumblr clone called bdsmlr.com – it’s a bit of a clone of Tumblr, but is rather rudimentary and certainly will not have the sort of back-end infrastructure to handle a crush of new users. In fact, the crush of new users and bandwidth may well end the platform if they cannot monetize it in some way to support the site’s costs to maintain. I have created a presence there (https://cuckoldmarriage.bdsmlr.com/) and will see what comes of it.
Before the 17th deadline, I will remove all NSFW content from the Tumblr site leaving only some pointers for how to find us.
I was kicked off tumblr because I wouldn’t change my account content. They reminded me I needed to change my account but, I thought that if there going to cancel my account so be it. To me there was no comprise with them. In the time I was on there I met a lot of like minded people and had a good time. That’s too bad. I had a lot of online friends there.
Hi Luvr,
It’s been quite some time since I posted on here. I’ll explain more about that in another forum post soon, but in relation to bdsmlr.com, it’s really getting going now.
I jumped the sinking Tumblr ship almost immediately, as of December 17th. I looked at a few sites but settled on bdsmlr. I can tell you that on a daily basis, improvements are being made with the site. The people behind the scenes seem to be working really hard and they post regular updates about their activities.
Appearance, functionality, operation, tools……they’re all massively improved from a month ago and the user numbers are rocketing. They are promising an app very soon but it will only be available for Android users, as we all know that Apple are not as inclusive as they would have us believe. The bdsmlr site is already looking like an early desktop version of Tumblr so users will be able to familiarise themselves very quickly. They have had to insert advertisements but they’re very unobtrusive so I think their future is bright.
Thanks.
cuckmatt.
Hi there, I would like to ask how will your tumblr be affected with the new tumblr policy activating at dec 17? The ban of all adult content on the website?
