Sam Palahnuk The intersection of user interests, device-bound app store restrictions, and site/platform responses may be of interest to some people. Including at least one community moderator.
ReplyDeleteSam Palahnuk Well, one aspect this community should be looking at is cultural aspects of the various alternatives. Tumblr has a reputation, and this post suggests they might be changing, good to know.
ReplyDeleteSam Palahnuk Unfortunately, Google+ has grabbed the wrong link title here. It should be as I've noted in my post commentary headline: "Tumblr for iOS vanishes from App Store, possibly due to inappropriate content".
ReplyDeleteWhich is also why I prefer where possible to include some post context.
I've updated OP to note this.
I wonder if Flickr will be the next victim because a huge chunk of Flickr also comprised of pr0n too. AFAIK Flickr still allows that even after they acquired by SmugMug.

ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a intense fight for control over social media happening right now.
ReplyDeleteGood to know - I have one garden blogger I have been following for years. The only one on Tumblr.
ReplyDeleteI've deleted Tumblr years ago because of art theft. My work stolen and posted to a Facebook fan page with cutting off my signature from below the images and guess what?!! The mofos who did that were from my own country.
ReplyDeleteKerem Go that is doubly frustrating, as the whole picture looks wrong with a slice off.
