andromedaxyzAnd it's banned because it's...well, classified as a gambling website. Nobody gives away much of their money to Tumblr, so that's weird.
So, it couldn't have been much of an issue to me because I want some time off Tumblr and social media art anyway. Tumblr to me is the hellsite Elon owns, but without a character limit and you could participate and yap your way into excessively online toxic discourse to your heart's content. It's not a safe space, and it hasn't been. But yeah, it's still a major place where I post my art. That's not the main point though, what's my main gripe right now is that the Philippine government is banning shit for the wrong reasons as usual.
VPN is so far the easiest solution to this. Others have told me that it does work. Maybe one day when I'll post art again lol.
