The platform was quickly built by engineer Kirill Nikolaev after the content ban was announced as a refuge for blogs. Tumblr says that users will still be able to do this afterwards, but given the buggy-ness in the AI system, and the scale of the take-down project, why risk a technical glitch that may wipe out content? Making emergency backupsĪs a first step, blog owners should make a backup before December 17. As the deadline looms, here are some tools, companies, volunteer projects, and individuals offering lifeboats.

Given how error-prone Tumblr’s algorithms have been, users fear that entire blogs could disappear.

Something will happen to potentially hundreds of thousands of Tumblr’s 12 million blogs on December 17.
