If I were to make a plantblr discord server would anyone be honestly interested? or has someone beat me to it?

I’m a little unsure of the discord server idea entirely as I’ve never really participated in any that heavily before, plus I never was good at carrying conversation anyways nor do I like taking any kind of admin role but-

I did consider making text channels specifically so people can both converse and scream into the server void

Still on the fence on whether I’ll roll with this or not but

I haven’t heard any interest from any of the BIG GAME plantblrs, ye want in?

I can also add more category/channels such as cacti/succulents, orchids etc. if wanted.

this is a test

okay, so here’s what you have to do: if tumblr is not showing your newest post (or is only showing them on page 2), that means all the posts that it is showing on the front page have been flagged and subsequently unflagged.

to get rid of this, edit all of those posts and add a new random tag to them. you can check by refreshing your blog and you’ll see they’ve disappeared from the front page. continue doing this until the last thing you posted is once again at the top of page 1, then make a test post to be sure. if you see it, you’re golden

Odontophorus marlothii

The Ice Plant Family (Aizoaceae) is a large one, with something like 1800 species of succulent plants. Some of these are a little on the rampant side, like the Carpobrotus ice plants seen along California’s coast, but many others are finicky and need specialized care to succeed. A few of them have little teeth along the leaf edges, and this is true of species in the small genus Odontophorus, from South Africa’s arid northwest. The upper photo shows Odontophorus marlothii on flower, while the lower photo shows the way the seed pods open up like intricately-carved wooden flowers.in response to rain.

I actually feel sorry for the likely unpaid intern sitting at tumblr HQ dealing with all our bullshit and snark while those actually in charge watch the world burn from a safe distance and blame it on us damn kids not buying more products. Because ultimately this is what this about. Verizon needs to make money from Tumblr, and Verizon can’t make money cause Apple says “no adult content” and Apple has a stranglehold on the app market.

The fact that a lot of us use tumblr to host our own services and products as independent creators, often as our only source of income, is irrelevant to them. The fact that to many of us this is our community is meaningless to them. We’re acceptable collateral damage to furthering corporate greed and that’s the fucking tea on that.

Also to the hypothetical unpaid intern: leave, sweety. You can do better, and you’re worth so much more.

heads up before you spend $$ on pillowfort, especially note the paypal thing. the io domain concern does not seem carefully enforced but is in the TOS so 🤷

These are valid concerns but like. Have we tried not making a call out post to promote hate against a brand new company made by fandom for fandom? This is the same shit that has been pulled on AO3 this year. Contact them and ask them to clarify their content moderation. Ask them about their concerns about Paypal – they’ve already mentioned on their Twitter that they’re changing domains because of the adult content ban on .io domains. They’ve been nothing but open and honest about everything since they were first announced and far more patient than is reasonable with the amount of questions they receive. And the site was down because it was fixing security issues in order to make the site safer for users. They’ve been absolutely transparent about this issue, which is unheard of these days.

Pillowfort will only survive if we support it. We need our own space that isn’t going to get sold out. Do you think Twitter is gonna allow NSFW content forever? Instagram doesn’t give a shit about fandom. And while Dreamwidth would be great, it would be a total culture shock to a lot of people – they have a 500mb cap for images, a tag limit, and communities decentralize fandom unlike Tumblr’s ability to just look at all of the posts under a single tag.
