For anyone who's missed it, Tumblr is slightly imploding again. It seems pretty serious this time, with the attempt to monetize people's accounts, and specifically Tumblr's blatant attempts to capitalize on people monetizing fannish content and then leave them out to dry in the event of a C&D. I understand that the site needs money to function, but uh. Yikes.

Anyway, long live Dreamwidth, my internet home.

Long live DW, indeed. *waves tiny flag*

I abandoned Tumblr without a backward look when they banned NSFW content (and especially when they decided that "female-identifying nipples" was a hill they wanted to die on), so I'm watching this whole monetisation scheme unfold from a safe distance and waiting for the explosion...

Hear hear! *puts on "Ask me about Dreamwidth!" t-shirt, also waves small flag*

I stuck with it, in part because that's where fandom mostly is these days; I had really hoped a lot more people would move when the NSFW ban took place, but not so much. There are some friends and authors I follow over there as well who aren't over here, but if enough people make the move to Dreamwidth to make the urge to check Tumblr less, uh, urgent, I may look into making RSS feeds for them instead.
