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.

Both comments you posted to this thread count as trolling. Please stop.

No mention of reddit?

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

Are you sure? Among the reddit snobs not posting "original content" is frowned upon

Yeah , but how do you think these users got into tumblr in the first place?

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.

Well, as of the last announcement, "gave". The NSFW thing seems to be throwing out the baby with the bathwater, particularly since the way they are flagging content seems to be error-prone.

The 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…

Tumblr was pretty terrible at handling CP reports. Like, I reported someone who posted sexually explicit photos supposedly of themself whilst admitting they were underage, and it took two months for Tumblr to send a form message saying they were looking into it and might or might not do something.

That's cute. The Tumblr Refugees don't think that Twitter is censored.

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. Source: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwavkq/j

For now. Twitter is subject to SESTA and FOSTA just like Tumblr and Facebook are, so it's only a matter of time before they follow suit.

Oh, I know that there is porn on Twitter. But I wasn't really referring to porn. It's all of the other stuff that Twitter censors/ shadow bans.
