Newtumbl was a social media site that allowed users to create and share blogs with various types of content, including NSFW (not safe for work) material. It was launched in 2019 as an alternative to Tumblr, which banned adult content from its platform in 2018. Newtumbl claimed to offer “asylum to all those who feel persecuted simply for wanting to exercise your freedom of speech” .
What Happened to Newtumbl?
However, on June 7, 2023, Newtumbl announced that it was shutting down permanently, leaving many users shocked and disappointed. The reasons behind Newtumbl’s closure were the lack of proper management and organization, the inability to generate enough revenue, and the loss of users and popularity over time.
According to We Got This Covered, Newtumbl did not give any warning or notice to its users before shutting down. The site simply posted a tweet that said “It’s been a blast. Thanks for your patronage. We hope you enjoyed your time at Newtumbl”. The tweet also included a link to a farewell message on the site, which was no longer accessible.
Some users speculated that the shutdown was just a temporary error or maintenance issue, but the language used in the tweet suggested otherwise. Many users expressed their frustration and sadness over losing their contacts, friends, and content that they had created or followed on Newtumbl.
Where are the Newtumbl Refugees Going?
Newtumbl was one of the few platforms that catered to the NSFW blogging community, which has been facing increasing censorship and regulation on the internet. With Newtumbl gone, many users are looking for other sites that can offer them a similar experience and freedom of expression.
One of the possible alternatives is Reblogme, which is also a blogging platform that allows NSFW content. Some users have already migrated to Reblogme, which has a web browser interface that is reminiscent of Tumblr and Newtumbl. However, Reblogme’s mobile version and app are reportedly very poor and buggy, which may deter some users from using it.
Another option is CentralHedge, which is a social media site that focuses on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. CentralHedge also allows NSFW content, but it requires users to pay a subscription fee to access it. CentralHedge claims to offer a secure and decentralized platform that respects user privacy and freedom.
The Future of NSFW Blogging
The shutdown of Newtumbl is a blow to the NSFW blogging community, which has been struggling to find a stable and supportive platform for their content. While there are still some sites that allow NSFW content, they are often plagued by technical issues, legal challenges, or low popularity.
The future of NSFW blogging is uncertain, as the internet becomes more regulated and controlled by governments and corporations. NSFW bloggers may have to resort to more underground or niche platforms, or create their own networks and communities. Alternatively, they may have to adapt to the changing norms and standards of the online world, and find ways to express themselves without violating the rules or offending the sensibilities of others.
