WordPress is offline because too many people are trying to back their blogs up 😦

I’ve used this before; it works.

You don’t need to own the blog to back it up with this, so if your favorite resource or fan rec blog has been dormant and you think they might get hit (like recipe blogs and sfw queer resource blogs did…), well…

Save a copy.

It might end up being the only surviving one.

Backup Your Blog NOW

On December 17, 2018, our Community Guidelines will change and adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr.

Backup tools: 

Use at least one. Trying all four is not a bad idea.Use them even if your blog has NO ADULT CONTENT WHATSOEVER, because they won’t be looking at blogs – they’ll be running algorithms to decide what “adult” content is. If you’re not familiar with that game, be aware that it’s going to catch a whole lot of queer content, and a whole lot of “wtf who thinks this is adult” content.

shipping-isnt-morality:

honestly all discussion of strikethrough and AO3 moderation seems to me to miss the actual point of strikethrough, which is: don’t give any site moderation powers that you wouldn’t be comfortable with homophobes having

“but I’m not comfortable with homophobes having any power!”

Friends, how does one back up their Tumblr? Once upon a time we used Semagic during the great LJ Strikethrough of 2007, but will Semagic work for Tumblr? Is there a newer, better backup device? All suggestions are appreciated.

Also, where’s the newest Xkit? I just spent half an hour trying to find something that’s compatible with the newest version of Firefox and coming up short. @dirtydirtychai, to answer your question, I’m not on Pillowfort yet but I’m on mastodon (and can’t figure it out) and Dreamwidth, same username everywhere.

1. Export and download

2. You can backup your Tumblr on WordPress.com – there may be limits on free accounts. You should set it to private and use it as a backup.

If you have a website that offers wordpress, you can back it up to there (and again set it to private)

https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-tumblr/

You can then set it up to import  new entries automatically using IFTT
