me: gives up, gets a real job; during standard cycle of special interests becomes interested in tabletop rpg mechanics but hates the aesthetic, starts a dumb blog of random objects as in-game items

that blog: breaks 20,000 followers within a year

me: o……kay

platform that hosts that blog on exactly the one year anniversary of creating that blog: hey we’re gonna start randomly flagging posts as porn and deleting blogs

that platform’s userbase: we might go somewhere else

Hey randos:

Guess we gotta talk about Tumblr, huh? Like a lot of people, I’ve already seen my follower count drop as people leave. I’m not currently planning on abandoning–mainly because I don’t know what I’d switch to–but given the number of random deletings and flaggings, there’s always the chance I’ll log on tomorrow and all this work will be gone, so I’m going to be using one of the various blog-exporter-archive things so I can pack it up and resettle elsewhere if I need to.

Now the only problem there is that I usually keep this blog queued up for months in advance, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to export a queue, so…you might get flooded in the next few days with items as I make sure everything is archive-able. After that, until things stabilize, I will probably start posting things as I find them instead of queuing them up to space them out.

There is an official Twitter that will be my emergency check-in point if anything happens,
but watching it mirror the Tumblrs, it can barely
fit the item descriptions, so it wouldn’t be great as a primary. If anyone has suggestions, I wouldn’t mind hearing them.
