Some of it is probably to capitalize on the Twitter fumbles, but also probably because A. the ban wasn't working, and B. trying to placate Apple was a waste of their time.

And just in time right after the Twitter buyout from the conspiracy theory Tesla guy.

Now that Elon Musk is doing everything he can to set Twitter on fire, now is as good a time as any for Tumblr to get people to care about it again. Especially since Twitter was the last non-subscriber-based social media sites to be cool with erotic art and artistic nudes and the like.
Now Tumblr just needs to do something about its pornbots (which the adult content ban didn't solve, shocker) and literal nazi problems and I might go back lol.

Elon has consistently f***ed up on the Twitter deal so bad and instead of "owning the woke libs" he's just become an even bigger laughing stock than he already was. But that's what happens when you mollycoddle the world's richest manchild and treat him as if he's the modern day Socrates.
The fact Tumblr is even like "we know Twitter sucks right now so we'll suck LESS" speaks volumes of how clown shoes Elon is.

It's a tiny, tiny step, but essentially they've made the guidelines impressively vague so nobody knows quite where the line of what's acceptable lies, while also making it clear sex workers still aren't welcome, so it's like... Basically pleasant sounding PR waffle.

It was hinted at in September that the ban was being lifted in some form, so people knew it was coming, but dropping the announcement after Musk has spent all day f***ing Twitter in the ass is no coincidence. |

well can’t blame them for trying to get their users back from Twitter, now is the only chance they’re going to get & it’s a very good time to welcome people back in
I doubt it works in any capacity though

So no porn, but guessing a lot of models and people who do erotic illustrations or writing will make their way back.
And yeah, timing this at the same time Stephen King is smacking Elon around over blue checkmarks doesn't feel like a coincidence, even if it's been getting worked on for awhile.

Basically pleasant sounding PR waffle. Yeah, I imagine it's still going to be hostile to sex work, but at least we don't have to deal with, "Female Presenting Nipples". God, that was one of the weirdest rule rollouts I've ever seen. |

God, that was one of the weirdest rule rollouts I've ever seen. Didn't even work properly, either. Their algorithm was so dumb that it even flagged the very post they announced the rule change in. I had to go through the appeal process with a few images and I was cleared so quickly that I felt awful for the people handling them. I'm sure they had to deal with plenty of shit. And honestly, they didn't even bother with written erotica at the time. Still don't, unless they mistake it for a porn blog or something like that. |

Shout out to every trans person, man or woman, testing out what the algorithm thought was a "female presenting nipple", and also every black person who became the only people allowed to actually post porn for a year until the owners fed more diverse stuff into the algorithm |
