Isn't that the point of Tumblr these days? I honestly don't know of any non-adult Tumlbr pages. It seems to consist entirely of premium camgirl pages, NSFW LGBT discussion, furry and hentai art, and artistic nude photography.

I think monitoring the child's online activity is a must, until he's mature enough and at 12 years old, that's basically the start of adolescence, when children aren't very trustworthy :-) On the other hand you can't let them know that you're constantly monitoring them, or they will feel suffocated and start a rebellion. In other words I think having some kind of anti-virus software on their computer or tablet, that…
I had a couple mention to me "we don't like to big brother our kids" .... Without thinking I said "big brother when you are the parent is just parenting." made the wife/mother really mad. Not sure what you do when they realizing you're watching them and then just get sneaky about it. I remember being sneaky. I assume my kids will be sneaky.

Hosting your own server gives you full control. That said, it puts more responsibility and liability on you to do content moderation, assuming you make it public. Some people do a hybrid approach. A public forum/board to share content, with some rules. Then another private server for a smaller group of friends to share anything. You can also create a Tor Hidden Service.
> Hosting your own server gives you full control. And exposes you to all kinds of problems to care about including DDoSes, pwners, lawyers, hardware failures etc. > You can also create a Tor Hidden Service. So (I feel sad about this but this is how it seems) almost nobody will ever find it, but child porn lovers and other kinds of ultimate weirdos will and you will have hard time banning them.

The vast vast majority of advertisers do not want to be displayed next to porn. Think of tumblr as nothing but a way to get pageviews for Cheerios and Volvo ads. It explains their decisions perfectly.
> The vast vast majority of advertisers do not want to be displayed next to porn. This i dont understand though. Who wouldn't their product to be subconsciously associated with sexual satisfaction?
there are a lot of jokes being made along the lines of "there goes their userbase" but for me personally this is a huge loss. especially for those of us who have certain kinks, Tumblr to this day has been the only place to ever exist where women could safely express their sexuality. it allowed us to meet like-minded people, it allowed us to break the taboo and it ended the isolation that many of us felt. Tumblrs main…
"(...) the only place to ever exist where women could safely express their sexuality." Some female friends of mine used to like fetlife.com. They say its like facebook, but with... fewer family members and coworkers I guess you could say.
I'm being mildly sarcastic in tone when I say this: they're probably there, you just haven't found their profiles yet ;)
Which is kind of the interesting thing about Fetlife, one can't approach someone about being on "that" site without outing themselves for being on "that" site as well-since you're not able to see any profiles without logging in (assuming a friend doesn't login and show them around and they spot your face in a profile pic commenting in a group thread or on someone's photos) where others you can't see at all unless that person has added you to their friends list-you're directed to a generic 404 page.

That isnt what I said. What I said is that children mustn't be allowed to some audiences the same way they aren't allowed in bars, porn movies or making legally binding decisions in corporate boardrooms.
> What I said is [...] You actually didn't say that, you just said free speech isn't applicable when it comes to children, and left us guessing about how you might want that to be implemented :). I'm glad you're not advocating for the end of free speech, however.
note: Censorship above is in the sense of making content decisions for capable adults. Children isnt capable adults.

I also see this as a market opportunity for a startup to adapt / improve on tumblr and fill the void. An unexpected, and permanent content restriction on a major platform is a disruptive event.
Yesterday's BitChute discussion [0] brought up the unfortunate fact that many ostensibly free-speech zone sites such as Voat and Gab just end up being havens for far right bigots and conspiracy theorists. Made me wonder if that toxic stew could be balanced if far left activists brigaded those platforms. With this story, it'd be even more amusing if amateur erotica creators and kink community people migrated from Tumb…
I do think they would jump to “the new tumblr” not owned by Verizon that has its own cool culture. Both consumers and creators like building stuff up.

Given that the porn industry basically invented the monetized internet, I assume that the "opportunity" was seized long ago.
I don't think the adult industry has truly been able to simplify things as much as products like tumblr (and other social media networks.) Fetlife probably does a good job for certain 'niches'. What I mean is, all the 'tumblrees' and "their" 'content' ( so much air-quote) will want to go somewhere. En masse. Soon. Most likely in protest.
Apple is calling the shots here. Tumblr was not going to be allowed back on the app store while adult content was on the site.
