In all seriousness, I’m gonna delete this app soon. I don’t support platforms that would rather stifle the creativity and kill the livelihoods of legal, legitimate content creators than address the glaring flaws that got them in trouble in the first place.
In honor of the Tumblr exodus:

Uranus Banned from Tumblr???
That’s right folks. Under the new Tumblr guidelines all forms of pornography are now banned from this site. That includes the solar system’s butthole. From this point forward I am not going to be able to post any pictures of the 7th planet from the sun, because the planet is not considered child safe.
When this shocking development became known, we asked other members of the solar system what they thought about the new ban.
Obviously the Lunar community was the first to respond, feeling they would be targeted next. The moon had this to say.
Luna: “Uranus banned? They better not ban me next or I am going to moon the shit about them.”
After Luna’s statement, the president of the lunar community (Ganymede) made the following statement. “The Lunar Community does not condone any acts of obscenity. I apologize for Luna’s statement, she was been in rehab lately for her moon rock addiction. She might be a little temperamental about this new ban.”
While most of the solar system community condemned Tumblr for its new ban, interesting enough there was one supporter of the ban.
Pluto of the dwarf planet community recently spoke in support of the ban. When asked why he supported the ban, Pluto has this to say.
Pluto: While everyone is busy dealing with this Tumblr banning Uranus fiasco, I can now spend my time focusing on getting my revenge against the other planets for booting me out of the planet club, and they will be too busy to even notice it. “Evil Laugh”
More news will be posted on this story as it becomes available.
Next up: Tumblr banning bunny butts? Rabbits in revolt!
Not space related, but wanted to see what my space engine followers thought of this question. Hoping to get some good memes out of it.
Shark Question
Are male sharks now going to be banned if their claspers are visible? Also are female sharks with scars on their face going to be banned since that can be considered sexual abuse by a male shark?
I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!
Staying on Tumblr for now.
I just want to let all my followers know I am staying on Tumblr for now. I appreciate everyone who follows my space engine tumblr and rabbit and shark tumblr.
I am going to however check into pillowfort since i am hearing some good things about it, and might also keep a space engine blog on there as well if I like it.
If the autoflagging gets too bad, however; I might decide to leave tumblr. So that is a wait and see game. But for the foreseeable future I am staying here.
Tumblr Changes - My Thoughts
I know this post is not about space and astronomy, but I wanted to voice my thoughts about the upcoming ban on Tumblr and how the automatic algorithms are going to affect everyone on there.
First off, I do not post or follow any NFSW Tumblr, so the primary ban does not affect either my Space Engine Tumblr or Rabbit and Shark Tumblr or other Tumblr’s that I follow in that regard, but the algorithms Tumblr has created are already beginning to affect my space engine posts. I mean seriously, how are my pictures of planets, alien landscapes and nebulas being flagged as adult material?
I understand that there are nearly 450 million users on here, but Tumblr has just 400 or so employees and for their employees to go through perhaps billions of images is not practical so they had to write a program to do the work for them. Auto-flagging images however, is a major problem for us non-NFSW Tumblrs, and we are only just now seeing the start of this problem. Eventually it is going to get to the point that we all have to wait weeks even months for our “sensitive marked” pictures to be marked as safe, since an actual person will have to review it.
Final conclusion. This ban and the way it is being implemented is a bad idea, and to be honest I also think an assault on free speech. More importantly, Tumblr better fix its auto-identification programs before a lot of us leave out of frustration when pictures of planets, rabbits, and sharks are all marked as adult.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND REPOST.
