As I stated here and here, we have two options. One is we use WordPress and have it hosted on our own server and two, we use Pillowfort. At the moment, the first option seems to be the better one since the latter is still on its beta stages. Instagram seems like another good option, but I need to study their guidelines.
I’m thinking of disabling confession submissions next week while we move our content elsewhere. I’m still holding out hope that Tumblr won’t kick this blog out completely since it’s a fandom blog first and foremost, and it’s actually really unfair that they would lump this confessions blog with the actual hardcore porn blogs out there, but what can you do. 😑We’re using their service for free so we’re beholden to their guidelines whether we like them or not.
Another thing I’m thinking about is how we’re going to accept confessions. We will keep you posted regarding new updates.

I’m reading their announcement about this and it seems that we are safe. To quote:
What is considered adult content?
Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts.
What is still permitted?
Examples of exceptions that are still permitted are exposed female-presenting nipples in connection with breastfeeding, birth or after-birth moments, and health-related situations, such as post-mastectomy or gender confirmation surgery. Written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations, are also stuff that can be freely posted on Tumblr.
So, it seems that we are safe, but I’ll take no chances and still do backups.
Grazie,
