Help Save Tumblr Blogs

We, the archive team, think that petitions will change nothing. That is why we are prepairing for the worst. We have dealed with Yahoo before. They killed GeoCities with little warning (read more). Currently Flickr another Yahoo subsidiary is on the death bed too. That is because all accounts which have more than 1000 pictures will be frozen and many pictures deleted until 1000 remain. We do not have high hopes that Yahoo will turn around on this one issue of many. Do not get us started on theirBlogs, Video Platform and Groups.

We attempt to archive most of the NSFW blogs of tumblr. Instead of signing partition you can back up your own data and tell us about your favorite endangered blogs so we can archive them.

The tag of the campaign is #tumbledown btw. You can learn more about us here: https://17decemberarchive.tumblr.com/post/180795765906/save-endangered-tumblrs-before-17-december

Thanks for doing this! I'm new to DW so I'm not familiar with how to share this post here, but I did share it on tumblr. I'll be going through the (hundreds of) blogs I follow for the next few days... honestly, can we just never trust Yahoo again, like, as a community? Blacklist anything they own?

Just a point of clarification - Flickr is no longer owned by Yahoo (or, really, its Verizon Oath incarnation), but was sold to SmugMug earlier this year, and the free account limit change happened after that sale.
