Regarding tumblr’s decision of banning adult content:
To ban porn bots, they could restrict their API to prevent/limit account creation and following via API. Let devs pay for certain API Endpoints. Instead of using a half baked AI detecting nudes, ban bots.
Split tumblr into 18+ and a Kids/Teenager version (like youtube did it) and police it accordingly.
Every platform you will go will face the problem of users who will abuse the service. Don’t rely on platforms - setup your own website for your own content and share it via whatever service is hip.
Use RSS feeds to curate your own content/news stream. I don’t know about the community part, though… and I know, it’s easy to hide behind a platform, posting copyrighted material… they will take the heat and delete content if requested…
PS: of course this got flagged ;-)
