We at TPP are saddened about the vibrant Sherlock fandom communities that will be disrupted by Tumblr’s new censorship policies. In response, we are doing a few things to help us find each other on other platforms. We are starting with a friending meme on Twitter! Just hit the RETWEET button to be added to a Sherlock Fandom List so that others can find you on Twitter!

Also, here are all of the places you can find Three Patch Podcast:

Twitter – the
majority of the TPP staff are active here! We try to keep our Twitter
active and engaging. Feel free to participate in our memes, polls, @ us,
and send us Direct Messages!

Facebook – we
post our episodes there, as well as announcements. But if Facebook is
your preferred platform, we do monitor the messages we receive, so feel
free to comment on our posts and send us direct messages!

Instagram – we
try to post our episode art here for every episode, but sometimes we
miss one or two! Feel free to follow us there to be reminded of episodes
being published!

Dreamwidth – we
just started a Three Patch Podcast community. It’s still in
development, but we’ll be putting activity in our community soon! Feel
free to follow us there!

Pillowfort.io – we just started an account here, so it’s also still in development. Feel free to follow us there!

i know i’ve been on an extended tumblr holiday for a while, but seeing as everyone is jumping ship just thought i’d let you know that i mainly live on twitter these days – if you want to follow me there then feel free (i still log on here every now and again though to have a nosey around)

i also still have my website, you can contact me there for commissions or whatever should you get the urge

peace out for now

For those that leave

skidblast:

It’s hard not to miss the news, and I know that there are few followers of mine that will leave due to these changes, both out of protest, and out of the possibility of being striken out from this site or just because they fear to be.

I’ve always tried to make sure that my blog was safe for everyone. So I made sure of I knew what I reblogged or talked about, keeping it on the level with the comics or TV series. Never really did go into the movies though.

But there is a way for non-tumblr users to keep up with those posting on tumblr, without having to rely on the blogger to make a twitter or facebook just to post there that there is a new post. One of the basic features of blogging is still there on Tumblr.

RSS. It’s an old technology that’s still up and running because it is pretty cheap to set up and requires next to no maintenance.

Every tumblr blog has it. To find it, simply go to “whatever-blog-name.tumblr.com/rss”. There, you might end up being a bit overwhelmed by what looks like a bunch of code. But that code is simple, and there are a lot of RSS services that translates it to a living feed that alerts you when there is a new post that has been made. And

I use it pretty often. There are a lot of webcomics that have a supporting RSS feed, several blog sites that I don’t bother visiting unless the feed pops up for me, I used it even when I was job hunting, both recruiters and job ad places had RSS feeds. I even figured out how to get instagram into it!

There are a lot of solutions that can be used, chrome has the addon Slick RSS that is standalone, I use feedly.com in conjunction with their addon for Firefox. There is probably an app that connects to whatever RSS sites that are available for free, but I’ve not found the need to keep track on my mobile just yet. I have to admit that I can’t really figure out how to do a proper tutorial, nor is this really the blog for that sort of stuff.

So for those that are thinking about leaving tumblr because of the new changes, there is at least an option to keep track of those that have chosen to stay.

So, my dears, here is my Tumblr migration info post. I’ll use  it to
collect info and updates about saving your stuff, finding new  homes and
all that dealio. You can also find it on my Twitter, my Dreamwidth and my Pillowfort.

I’ve seen some people panicking, but remember all us Fandom Olds have been through this  before. It
sucks to lose all that investment, but it is not the end. In  fact,
we’re well-prepared these days because we learned from those  times.
We’ve got tools for archiving content–both yours and the content from
others you can’t bear to lose–and for migrating and staying in touch
with your friends.

And while I have your attention: Support AO3. Support the OTW. Support EFF. Support the ALA. Fight for net neutrality. This is just the beginning of what happens if we lose it.

recentlyfolded:

I’ve backed up my content from this account and my Fandomfanworks sideblog, and am in the process of creating a public-facing archive of the latter at fandomandfanworks.wordpress.com.

My contact and other sites are in my AO3 profile, which I’ll keep up to date. For the moment, I’m splitting time and efforts between recently_folded on pillowfort and recently-folded on dreamwidth.

I’ll be leaving tumblr because I just cannot endorse censorship. And given the things that are being flagged vs what remains legit, I feel that this is clearly a case of censorship rather than “safe” space maintenance. Further, I don’t actually support the notion of a squeaky-clean sex-free world.

That means that as of Dec. 16, I’ll be deleting both of my accounts. I am not going to move on and leave my work here for tumblr to continue to monetize. Anything you see after that date that looks as though it’s me: it won’t be.

I’ll miss all of the folks I currently follow. I’ll miss my followers. I’ll miss the random people who’ve reblogged my posts whom I’ve never gotten to know. I’ll miss the fans and artists and writers and other cool folk who’ve populated my dash here and gave me so much entertainment and pleasure. At a time in history where we’re all losing so much as western capitalist society implodes, I hate to give this up too. But censorship is not something I can participate in, even if I am powerless to stop it.

The Post-Tumblr Tumblr Archive Tracker

Okay, so @havingbeenbreathedout thinks something like this may already be going around, but the only one I’ve seen so far was single-fandom-specific and also now I can’t find it; and I also don’t know if it had notes about Tumblr archives, which this does. If there is already one going around, please tell me and also tell me how I can get in touch with the owner, if it’s not obvious, because I want to either add the info about Tumblr backups, or link to this sheet. @roane72​ linked us to extant sheet, @copperbadge​‘s “Tumblr “Find Me” Directory”, and I strongly encourage you to use that for tracking people, and just use this for Tumblr archive info! The spreadsheet has been updated accordingly.

This spreadsheet grants edit permission to anyone with the link, so: the first rule of the post-Tumblr Tumblr Archive Tracker is: don’t be an asshole. The second rule of the post-Tumblr Tumblr Archive Tracker is: don’t be an asshole.

If you’re down with #1 and #2: go ahead and add your info over here. Since @copperbadge did the work to get the yellow pages side going, the primary use of this sheet is for archiving purposes: you are strongly encouraged to note whether or not your Tumblr has been archived (either locally, or to an external site like WordPress), and if it hasn’t, also note if you would like some help getting it archived before 12/17 (see the “This is my Tumblr and I would like help archiving it!” dropdown, Column F).

I have limited space on my personal machine but I’m going to be digging up every functioning hard drive I can find in my apartment to pull content as and when I can; once I have some drives up and running, I’m going to start referring to this sheet to see whose stuff I should download, and I encourage other people with time/Python fu/hard drive space to do the same. Then we’ll just have to deal with the headache of us getting it to you, but I’d rather have to deal with that than deal with lost content.

For liability issues: I’m only going to pull fannish blogs, and I’m going to prioritize blogs I follow (this isn’t because I think the rest of all y’all are evil, it’s because I want to know what I’m putting on my own personal hard drives). I’m also not going to back up anyone’s blog unless they actively request that someone do so. If you do request a backup, and I go to your blog and it’s not obvious that you’re a fan, I’m not, myself, going to back up your content; but I’ll leave you in the spreadsheet for someone else to grab unless your entry is obviously abusive.

@roane72 hooked me up! Thanks, @roane72! This is great news, it means we can just use this spreadsheet for tracking Tumblr content archives and cross-reference with the work @copperbadge has already done. There are already about 1500 fans in @copperbadge‘s directory, including me, now—come find your friends!

 Wow.

Uh so, this is happening.

I’ve been lurking for awhile since life as a doctoral student is just too much to keep up regularly posting anything, but yikes. I’ll probably stick around on tumblr to see what kind of new shit happens, but for anyone making the switch and still wanting to talk to me:

My pillowfort (with all 1 posts in it so far): https://www.pillowfort.io/PostcardsFromTheoryland

And my twitter, though to be honest twitter confuses the FUCK out of me so I haven’t posted anything there yet: https://twitter.com/PFTheoryland

And of course, my AO3 (which reminds me I should really get around to updating my current WIP) : https://archiveofourown.org/users/PostcardsfromTheoryland/works

Also as we all frantically migrate over to different platforms, it occurs to me that this is going to be like everyone changing their icon all at once only TEN TIMES WORSE, so if you come visit me on a different site with a different name than your tumblr url please let me know who you are!
