#12Oh dear, how will they survive without being able to post naked pics?!? Poor souls!
You are being condescending based on the type of content that other people care about. Maybe this will help you better understand: consider HN starts banning your comments and someone chimes in, "oh dear, how will yters survive without being able to post his naive opinion?". Hope that helps.
I would certainly not be a refugee! Using such terminology denigrates those who are refugees because otherwise they'll die. It's like saying everyone we disagree with is a Nazi, and their policies are equivalent to the Holocaust. Such things are only said by those who've never lived through truly horrible circumstances themselves.

#13It's interesting to see Tumblr described in many articles/forums as primarily for pornography. Tumblr has been the biggest user acquisition channel (and a free one, at that) for my startup, which has nothing to do with pornography. We've gained tens of thousands of users in a few days from a single user post, and several user posts have accumulated 50,000+ notes. This is all thanks to the strong accessibility groups…
Yeah , but how do you think these users got into tumblr in the first place?

#14This decade feels like the Victorian era all over again. How long did the last one last?
Re: Tumblr refugees trying to save its NSFW content
#15The issue they are going to run into is that they are automatically going to be labeled a porn site. As such they will automatically lose the top tier of advertisers and payment processors. In addition, because they are new and probably won’t have the filtering systems in place, very offensive content including cp will likely get posted. This will further make them a pariah to the main stream internet with app stores and internet infrastructure players not wanting to do business with them. For example see the example of Apple banning the Tumblr app. And that was with a well established service. With this new NSFW service it won’t even be a close call.

Tumblr being just for porn is mostly a meme. I have used Tumblr for many years, not for porn, but for art and lifestyle content, and memes. It actually took me a few years to find out that Tumbler had tons of extremly high quality free porn.
Thr hugh amouts of porn give creatives a certain security that their works won‘t be deleted for nudity and such.

Reddit actively discourages people from posting their own original content, other than a small number of subs intended for it.

It’s not. The only caveats are that you have to mark porn as porn, and you’re not allowed to get paid for it.
