newcomersPeople are reporting Tumblr outages. Given the recent layoffs of staff, this is hardly a surprise. It is inspiring some Tumblr users to seek other platforms.
There are various services used to track outages of online services and platforms. You can use these or similar ones to check if Tumbler is up or down and to report outages you experience. Pass the word so other folks can track this too.
Down for everyone or just me?

Date: Apr. 17th, 2025 02:56 am (UTC)After seeing several people post about Tumblr being down, I checked online for other reports. It seemed to be more than brief and sporadic, so I made a post to deal with it.
>> I'd better go spread the word... <<
Thanks for that.
It's important for Tumblr users to know about this so they can take what steps they see fit. You can only export your content or make a byebye post while the site is active. There's always the chance it will crash or be taken offline without any more warning than we already have. Even without an official declaration of pending closure, these are ominous signs.
