I’ve been hearing stuff about this ban all over today, from concerned artists to just plain old “christian minecraft server” memes, so I was curious to see others opinions on the topic.
 
Personally, I think that the ban shouldn’t be implemented. A lot of people make a living off of NFSW/Adult artworks, and are losing a big audience/platform to advertise and sell their content on. Tumblr is a BIG website with a lot of people, so this seems like it’ll have a huge effect on both artists/people who enjoy their works. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tumblr got huge backlash from this decision.
 
What do you guys think about the ban?

I think all kind of censorship on the internet is bad, I agree with you it’s not ok for people to lose their revenue. But tumblr respond to themselves they are the one giving the service for “gratis”. The time limit is too short tho it should be two months.

Funny that everyone who tells me (and other artists who make both SFW and NSFW work) to move to a different platform can’t list a platform that works in the same way that Tumblr does.
 
No, I’m not moving to Inkbunny, e621, or FurAffinity, because then I would have to change my format to exclusively furry art.
 
No, I’m not moving to Gelbooru or Pixiv, because then I would have to learn the anime art style.
 
No, I’m not moving to Derpibooru, because as previously stated, I’m not a brony.
 
No, I’m not moving to Instagram, because it’s absolutely sucky for artists, who will get crammed in between pictures of zero-effort selfies and get their art stolen and reposted if they’re lucky.
 
No, I’m not moving to Twitter, because they compress images, causing them to lose a lot of their quality, and they only allow 280 characters for a tweet, which means practically no description for an image if you also want to include hashtags. Plus… come on. It’s Twitter. I feel bad enough sharing a platform with Donald Trump, I’m not going to go make that my primary outlet for art.
 
And no, I’m not moving to Newgrounds, because 1. The last time I posted on there a few years ago, I got downvoted to hell and back, and 2. If their newest server crash is indicative of anything, it’s that they’re just as unreliable.
 
I’m legitimately considering making a Word document for all my responses for people who offer me the same alternatives over and over again.

I always disliked tumblr’s passive aggressiveness in regards to nsfw so I think NSFW should be banned from there.  
Just so artists would migrate to derpibooru and other much safer platforms.

…There are no safer platforms out there for artists to make both SFW and NSFW art. I don’t know how many times I have to say this.
 
Unless we as artists have to change our entire art style and content output to suit sites like FurAffinity, Gelbooru, e621, Derpibooru, Pixiv, or Inkbunny.

I wonder how feasible it is to create (and host) another “tumblr”-like site? I have no idea on web development, but there seems to be a desire for a “nsfw tumblr”-like platform. Anyone know any efforts going on with this idea?

For me it feels like a real betrayal of their user base. For so long it’s been a forum for creating content that’s, for more or less, had a fairly lax attitude regarding NSFW content and that’s what their core community sees it as and wants it to be. Then, without even attempting anything else they’re just abruptly pulling the plug with not even half a month’s warning. To me it’s the equivalent to the PS4 dropping video game support in favor of just being a platform for DVDs, Netflix, and Youtube. I’m optimistic though. That site’s been kind of reeling with it’s core demographic for years but it’s chugged on because, like TheHappySpaceman says, there’s really no other site quite like it. It does it’s job poorly, but there’s just no alternative. Now, that they’ve just up and shafted their core demographic though (leaving only a third-rate social media platform), I feel like this’ll be the catalyst that will finally push people to band together and create a proper replacement for it. Fingers crossed, guys :D

Probably because I don’t upload a lot of pony content due to me not being a brony.
 
No offense taken, though. I haven’t uploaded the NSFW work I have made apart from being available on my Patreon. I was planning on making an NSFW Tumblr page, but nope…

I know the christain meme server is a joke, but does anyone know if religious people in real life are cheering at this event?

probably. christians are kinda bonkers, no offense i read that wrong!  
i would say yeah, a lot of christians would probably like Tumblr banning NFSW content due to it being “satanic” or “immodest”. other christians might feel different; it kinda depends on how deep you are into the religion. i know MY family would act like that for sure.

There are guaranteed to be. I know at least one dumbass who cheered at that due to “hurr durr pornies getting their just desserts” blinding them from how it would be (and did get) implemented; but they weren’t religious.
