Until staff comes forward and gives an answer as to what is happening, all assumptions and statements on what’s going on are rumors.

zedrin-maybe:

  • There are posts from 2016 that are being shared again about NSFW. I shouldn’t have to explain that those are no longer relevant.
  • There is a post from 3 days ago that the current sweep is being caused by a bug. This is not known if it is still relevant.
  • There are rumors that this is an attempt to purge pornbots, and legit blogs are getting caught in the crossfire. This has not been confirmed.
  • There are assumptions, again based on statements from 3 days ago, that this is in response to a legal matter regarding the IRA. Again, this has not been confirmed.
  • Until staff comes forward about the current events, nothing is confirmed as of yet. If you get purged, send staff a ticket, but until we get answers no one knows what is happening. Please stop spreading posts that do not have current sources.

As I have read, Tumblr stopped the BOT that was killing Safe and Not Safe for Work accounts alike…

Apparently, the main problem was that the algorithm took down accounts that had too many links to external sites in posts without considering the sites that were linked…

They said that this issue is fixed now, so I think it’s safe to say

I SURVIVED TUMBLR’S GREAT PURGE OF 2018!

If you know anyone that has been affected by this, tell them to contact Tumblr’s help desk to get their account back

you’ve gotta stat romanticizing your life. you gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you’ve ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new. you have to, because that’s when you start truly living. that’s when you look forward to every day. 

live your life like a ghibli movie where literally everything is charming and beautiful

Good advice
