Do you think tumblr banned porn out of prudishness?

[-] yuriy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

they banned porn because they were bought out by the owners of wordpress, and the kerfuffle with credit card companies suddenly refusing payments on pornhub had just happened. the stated reason was so they don’t step in some unseen controversy and get blackballed by mastercard, which is a bit prudish if you ask me.

The main problem with porn is moderating it. Especially having to watch something to determine whether or not it's csam. It's easier to just ban porn. It's a big hassle whenever your site isn't supposed to be a porn site.

[-] yuriy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

and therein lies the crux of the issue. lots of folks who were around before the porn ban would argue that the smut was integral to tumblr’s identity; that the tumblr we have today is just a shadow of what it once was.

Wasn't it a cesspit akin to twitter? I heard that tumblr is actually decent nowadays.

[-] yuriy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

in my experience tumblr was actually a lot better about separating the smutty tags from the general ones for a fandom.

There were still a lot of reprobates there who ended up moving to twitter
