I wonder if the new people will do anything about the "site is actively hostile to photosensitive people" thing. I used to use tumblr, and we reported, pretty much every year or so, the thing where login pages or "not found" pages always had full-page flashing or fast-moving animated GIFs, because that was a horrible source of seizure-inducing experiences, migraines, etcetera.
I always assumed it was a considered and intentional choice by the tumblr staff to actively drive those people away.
I also note: I didn't go there for porn, but I left over the porn ban, and will not even consider returning while the porn ban remains. I had >40k posts, I met the kid we ended up adopting there, and so on. I had a lot of engagement with the site, but while porn wasn't emotionally important to me, the side-effects of the porn ban made the site completely useless.
