the reason I like tumblr is because it’s so easy not to be found here. I don’t have to worry about people from real life being able to find me bc I can hide my blog from search engine results. I can be openly gay here and have a little space to myself to explore my interests and stuff. Social media has always made me really anxious as I’m a naturally reserved person. I’m reluctant to use such widely used sites like Instagram and twitter because I don’t want my family or friends I’m not too close to find me on there ! And also why the fuck do twitter and Instagram make your following and likes public

exactly like these sites DEMAND access to your contacts and phone number and even when you say no they still recommend you to other people based on your phone number and real life proximity to other users. That’s so fucking creepy. I do so miss the old days of the internet where everything wasn’t so connected to your day to day life.

Pillowfort doesn’t do this I don’t think unless you want, but it costs money rn :/

Hi everyone! So, we have to address the elephant in the room here – for those who don’t know, Tumblr’s new policy is to crack down on any and all NSFW content. 

Of course this blog is and was always intended to be a strictly SFW zone, but Tumblr’s flagging system is totally busted. It’s almost like watching a blind man with a sniper rifle. But even if nothing happens to this blog, I’m thinking activity on this platform is going to take a nosedive. 

I’ve been archiving all of @ask-spiderpool’s posts on Google Drive, which will be shared and available for anyone who wants to read from the beginning. (It’ll probably be easier to read it there than through Tumblr, honestly). I’ll be sharing the link here later in the week! 

If anything happens to me here, I want you all to tell my wife I love her. 

On the case of my art blog @sciderman​, I will continue to post to Twitter and Instagram! And I’ll be posting my older art to DeviantART (I know, what is this? 2008?) 

Please let me know if there are any other platforms you’d recommend!
