What's wrong with tumblr

We have a day or so to go before Tumblr's ownership changes to Automattic, inc the owners of Wordpress so what do think about it?

I think the first thing I'd say was although I'm wary of sites from the point of view of permanency, staying around as a place to blog I'd not have to blog on here for most of content had it not been due to a combination of policies and biases. 

Tumblr has been around before but the amount of issues arising from trying to firstly make "adult content" an opt in which as much as I don't do adult content made sense while locking by default 18 and under accounts away from it made sense.

Then last year they reversed it following issues with both Google and especially Apple app stores as they won't allow anything adult no matter what but the use of AI systems to automatically detect inappropriate material backfired driving people off because appealing took ages and the error rate was very high.

The second area is somehow tumblr regards blogs about childhood looking at from a reflective past lives sense that contains images of children as being...child porn and periodically removes without warning and very poor appealing systems.
I had to wait seven months to get a blog of mine back after eventually they found no reason to have deactivated it.

They seem to presume a blog comprised mainly of pictures suitable for family photo albums of boys (and also publishable as a retro past lives book) is child exploitation material.

On the other hand they don't tackle blatant child sexualization by gay men of children under ten going on leave me to report it pray they might act cos gays are a minority and they support minorities all the way. 

To some extent my biggest bugbear and why this blogs has to be on here is because of Tumblrs liberal social justice warrior 'woke' bias that not only sends me material around topics I didn't want in my stream but also shuts down oppositions to such ideas that there ARE issues in how some moslems want to reshape western societies to suit there own beliefs that go against our own, the idea that gender and sex are related being driven by biology, that we have over 100 genders AND have to agree to it (they call it respect but just saying you disagree is enough for them to say it's "hate speech") and pointing the high level of dissatisfaction post op transsexuals have out.

They won't act on men's complaints around misandry but remove anything that questions the third wave feminist agenda and #metoo.

You try to blog around traditional male values for boys growing up and men that give them a sense of purpose based on what is innately in them, boys being physical in play, acting the warrior being a man and you find posts removed.

Thus I have to blog about my issues on here and from what I hear people on Wordpress have similar issues with them.

You have to agree and endorse this new gender free but 100+ gender, male hating climate change emergency crisis, black lives matter, anti brexit and tribute take of what is supposed to be a blog publisher who isn't neutral.
