In re: Apple Frakking Tumblr Over

OKAY So ever since the Tumblr announcement over Apple's TOS for the app staying on the AppStore, I've been seeing so many posts spreading so much information AND misinformation.

If you haven't seen the post, click here, but basically it boils down to Apple's TOS for what Apps can and can't exist on the AppStore are pretty damn draconian. Famously Discord had to disallow ios app users from entering Not Safe For Work/Mature servers. Discord also put in a work-around to this but I'll get to that. Anyway, those TOS Apple's put in place are now affecting tumblr.

Misinfo #1: Tumblr is deliberately making the app experience unusable - False

Tumblr is doing what Apple is telling them to do. Apple is the one making the iOS version of the app unusable. Not tumblr. Although their enforcement of Apple's wants is rather obnoxious this isn't tumblr's fault. It's Apple's. Direct your ire to Apple, not tumblr, because this is directly their doing.

Misinfo #2: Tags have been ganked. - Well yes, but actually no.

It's true tags are borped on the iOs app BUT!!! "Banned tags" work just fine in the web version of tumblr, or the Android app. All the tags I've seen in the "banned tags" lists going around work just fine on my phone (I have android) or on my laptop. THE TAGS ALSO WORK FINE ON THE BROWSER ON MY IPAD. That's right, easy way to get around iOS shennangannery? Use the Tumblr website. It looks (and runs) just like the app. There are even other features on the website that aren't on the app. So if you're an iOS user frustrated by how the tumblr app now works, log in on Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, literally any internet web browser, and boom bam. Your original tumblr experience is back. Original bugs and all. Screenshot below of my android phone, and the tumblr website being able to access "banned tags." Also a screenshot of the post from the wip tumblr saying that experiences on Android and the website will not be affected.

Misinfo #3: Tumblr's doing nothing to combat the ultra-censorship on their iOS app - Maybe

In their post, staff said they're working on a work-around. They left details pretty vague, as is staff's wont, but they aren't exactly out of options. This is where I get back to what Discord did when Apple did the same thing to them. Essentially you would have to go onto Discord on your laptop and allow access to not safe for work servers on iOS. It's a setting only found in the laptop/desktop version of discord. (see screenshot for proof) I believe Tumblr is probably working on something similar. To allow users to have the original experience by going through the website. For now you still have the browsers on your phone. Also screenshotted, where staff said in their post they're working on a workaround.

All this to say, you guys need to stop freaking out. Yes, tumblr is broken, tumblr's been broken for a hot minute, but you know what? This latest censorship dirge is not tumblr's fault. It's apples. And there are workarounds, pretty piss easy workarounds like using your browser instead of your app. It's not even that much more difficult. I know this is frustrating, but being reactionary and spreading misinformation isn't going to do anything but harm people who are looking for solutions.

Warning: Long Post, Bragging about

For me, it’s tied with Valigarmanda (not Tritoch) and Ultima Weapon (not Atma Weapon, as much as it hurts me since i love DDS but i digress) both from FFVI

Valigarmanda is such a underappreciated Summon, Esper, Eidolon, whatever. i love this Quetzalcoalt-looking thing (i don’t know if would be a better feathered serpent design for quetzalcoalt than smt 1 quetz but that’s beside the point) despite how much important it is for FF6′s plots (being the first Esper you encounter not counting the half-esper herself, terra, which speaking of which, it also help her to unlock her esper form) it’s kinda of a shame that outside of it’s debut game, it barely appears, and most of it’s other “appearances” are just reference to it (which an antagonist from world of final fantasy being probably it’s most important non-ffvi “appearances”) i think it’s gimmick being a “tri-elemental” summon would atleast make it stand out for most other summons in the franchise.

Ultima Weapon is also very badass design and (thankfully) it does appear in more FF games (thought sometimes other i can be a pain trying to refer specifically to this thing since i usually refers to the weapon (both the FFVII and the literal definition of the word) of the same name. (also Battle to the Death slams)

honorable mentions, in not particular order:

The Weapons from FFVII

Odin

Behemoth

Typhon

Sprite Gilgamesh (yeah, i’m kinda weird)

Diabolos

The Four Fiends from FFI

The Four Archfiends from FFIV

Shinryu

Sefer Sephiroth

Alexander

Leviathan

Deathgazer

The Warring Triad

so what's your favorite Final Fantasy Monster? (whatever if is "myth accurate" or just looks cool)

Accuracy to myth is definitely not something that figures into my appraisal of FF designs. Anyway:

this was the most freak shit that a preadolescent soren ever saw. still unfuckwithable to this very day. god this shit is sick. fuck!!!

The Tumblr Experience™ December 2022

sketched some Magolors today! fun fact when I was a kid & I first beat Return To Dreamland I literally thought I killed Magolor & he wouldn’t come back in any other games cuz he was permanently ded LOL

anyways I think under his hood he’s KINDA like Hyness but like. more cutesy? idk, I can’t imagine he has chameleon eyes bc his eyes are oval-shaped, and I don’t think he has Hyness’ nose either bc his face is too close to his scarf, there’s not rlly much room for it. So… he kind of looks like a cat tbh. Maybe this has some implication of like… Magolor being the Halcandran version of whatever Hyness is?? or Hyness being Halcandran himself? idk I’m not exactly up to date on my kirby lore

tumblr,Stop it

you are killling youself, you don’t realize but, you are literally turning into modern youtube, by that i mean, kid friendly, you are about expresing yourself, be free to post anything you want, and now, your still called yourself a “site that you can to post anything”, and yet ban any adult content. you have many, MANY adults on your site, if you want to delete adult content, you gonna delete yourself. just because apple store delete your app because child porn. now, child porn is unaceptable. but you don’t have to delete the ENTIRE adult content on your site, there’s a easy way to resolve this like, i dunno, delete any pictures of Naked kids doing sex! you could doing have delete pornbots and any nasty person posting child pornographic, but nooo.. you know what, flag me if you want, but i have one last thing to tell you, in december 17, your users are gonna quit using your site, and no one is going back, unless you undo the banning, if you don’t gonna to stop this banning at december 17 (and probably delete this post if don’t care) i WILL stop using your site.
