Rambling Rosie's Retreat

[AngelicaS1780]

But I am familiar with your posts and SaltFountain’s and I’m shocked to see you two lose the ability to attach images.

@RosewoodTulip and @Saltfountain, have you both lost the ability to attach images, meaning that you no longer have the “Attach files” button as an option at the bottom left of your reply window? Or are you using the “Insert image” button at the top of the window and, instead of embedding the photo from your link, it’s just pasting the link itself into the message? I think this second situation is happening to almost everyone. It appears that any link from tumblr or giphy is automatically being displayed as a link only. I’m sure it’s happening with images from other sites as well. My past understanding of losing photo posting privileges was that the “Attach files” button was removed from the reply window. Just trying to clarify what is happening to people.

ETA: I just tried to use the “Insert Image” button to insert a non-nude image from imgbb and got an error message that “Image cannot be loaded from the passed link”. So it won’t even convert it to posting just the link. It doesn’t even recognize the link as valid anymore.

I have that option still but I've never actually used it. I've only ever shared my own stuff from something like imgbb or linked from a different site.

Yes so with say giphy I've posted from there through the link option and tumblr pic links are/were through the one next to it.

I haven't tried posting anything since these new changes came about but I might have a little trial soon just to see what I can still share, if anything

I’ve always liked the attach feature for my own pics. I like being able to post just a thumbnail that people can click if they want to see the full photo. I also like it because only registered users can see attachments. I know that’s not a high bar, but it at least weeds out the laziest pervs.

I don’t want to completely highjack your thread, so feel free to tell me when to shut it about image posting.

This is helpful honestly.
Tbh this is just how I was taught to do it. Linking my own pics and sharing them from other sites. I honestly don't have a clue.
So if I can still share my nonsense then that's good but honestly I'm still half expecting everything to shut down.

And I do think they are stricter about the rules with photos that are attached, since they are uploaded to their server. Not sure if that happens when an image link is embedded. So when attaching an image, definitely avoid nudity. I also wouldn’t attach photos that you haven’t taken yourself because of the copyright issues. I’m not sure how they feel about non-photo images like the one you just shared.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually decide that even a poster’s original (non-nude) images have to be linked.

I've posted a few images attached/included in the post, as opposed to linked content, but 95% of it would be to make a point, often humorous. I'm not too fussed either way tbh, though unsized images that swamp the page are a pia.

Until recently I had a pinterest account, but they started whingeing and removing posts, but without telling what they'd removed, so I couldn't figure where the problem was. In the end I got so tired of the hand-slapping and vague threats that I moved all the images to Tumblr. Fuck em.

I'm having a break - possibly forever - from posting myself on Lit.

It's hard to know where exactly the lines are really. Does pics not of yourself include memes too? Or what about art work?
If I hide things behind a link is it more acceptable or does the "how" not matter.
Questions questions questions

It seems the puritanical, shaming attitude of certain influential factors is really gonna make this whole thing a massive headache across many sites.

And as much as I like tumblr their NSFW settings are an absolute pain to get around too. Even images that are perfectly acceptable are being blurred with a caution.

Its political correctness gone mad I tell ya!

Meh... I often get follows from people pushing porn sites and I always report/block them. Seriously if I wanted to look at zeppelin boobs or a sweaty minge, I would ask.

Anyways... I just heard of two female pilots chatting at work and they decided that 'cockpit' was the wrong word. Clitpit sounded more appropriate. It would also be safe from hijackers because how would they ever find it?

Hoping everyone is doing ok

I can't believe it is almost a year since I took part in Manchester pride.

It was a fantastic day out.
