The axe has fallen, without any consultation, without any consideration, without any compassion, without any warning. #newTumbl is no more since about 60 minutes ago on this day (2023-06-07).

We didn’t know when, but we knew it was coming when Dean disappeared from the team mid 2021 (improvements to the site halted then), then blogs began to be erased more and more frequently and with no justification whatsoever. I hope you had the time to backup your blog.

@Funky007 Wow I had no idea. Well that sucks. I guess the Tumblr exodus was a failure.

@jmonty No it wasn’t, in the sense that Tumblr never recovered. They don’t deserve to, as the Verizon execs destroyed a treasure of openness and safety instead of attacking the true problems : the Nazi and the pedophile blogs.

For now, this open forum has not been recreated, but I’m sure a new one will, over time.
