Where do you think they will go without that site?
Other places but at least if they make tumblr just nice blogs I wouldn't mind tbh. I used that site maybe 6-7 years ago and it was not even half as bad as it is today.

people seem to be migrating over/back to twitter from my observations
I'm actually laughing at how their systems can't even filter out the porn for removal properly
like this is a trashfire decision regardless of how effectively utilized it is, but wow. imagine your curation systems being so bad that something like a sky gets flagged as porn
maybe tumblr dying will be great for you if youre in enough tumblr drama to have 5 calloutsit's my primary source of content despite the fact i have five "callout posts" so i'm pretty bummed out about this whole garbage decision since other social media either makes my paranoia spike or i'm just not interested in it
i know it's not actually gonna shut down though lol staff does stuff like this at least 3 times a year since they don't know how to run a website so extension writers have to do it for them
I don't mind NSFW posts and want people to have the freedom to post and share it (and also the flagging of non-sexual LGBT+ posts is very problematic), but I really hate how everyone acts as if that's the only reason anyone would ever use tumblr. Sure, there's no other popular social media that allowed porn this openly and gave sex workers a platform to advertise themselves, but like... why are we ignoring fandom and meme/popular content just to make the opposition look stronger? I think the argument "tumblr is just for porn" really justifies the staff in trying to remove it. The message should be "stop flagging LGBT+ as inappropiate" as well "don't remove freedom from veteran users just because you don't want to moderate the site". Anything else seems tacky.
Can't say I'm sad to see it go

Just to clarify, I am aware of the artists who are going to lose their platform, but there are others that exist that they can still set up on. It's not like Tumblr is the only place these artists can do their work.
And Tumblr is kinda a cesspit of all sorts of mess *cough* Nazis *cough*, that whole site could just do with a cleanse
