Welp, can't say I didn't predict this back around the time the site was bought out, NSFW content clearly just didn't match up with the corporate interests. Every move since then has only re-enforced that with every major change to the site implicitly or explicitly targeted at bleeding out or stamping out NSFW content without taking the step to straight up ban it. That said, it will be the death of the site, even most of the SFW blogs are run by people who are doing it on the side while they browse porn lol

I am saddened for the fate of my blogs, I put a lot of effort into them for no gain of my own other than the satisfaction of knowing I was creating something that would help others find quality content and maybe connect with the content creators to everyone's benefit. I had about 3K total users between my 2 largest NSFW blogs, so it's sad to see that go and the impact it will have on everyone.

I'm not sure yet if I'll try to rebuild elsewhere, it's a pretty daunting task, but we'll see. I suspect everyone will land on twitter, but it's just not as good for things like stories and short story format caption posts for photos/gifs/etc.

I've also heard of pillowfort.io and are.na, but I'm not really familiar with those. How about you all? Any thoughts on where everyone will land after their exodus? Is there some big userbase NSFW friendly place I'm not aware of?
