I don't have access to the Wiki. But it'll take too long to explain, so I'll sum up.
Tumblr's ultimate corporate master - Verizon - decided several months ago they want the place to be "advertiser friendly" - read: the porn's gotta go (which is not the majority of the content there). Said timetable apparently got moved up when, among other things, Apple canned the phone app because unregistered child porn (isn't in the hash database people use for taking it down) was showing up (the excuse from Apple, anyway). This is already bad enough, especially since today is an Awareness Day, specifically regarding violence against sex workers, who used the site as part of their advertisement setup.
It was made worse by rolling out a flagging algorithm a few weeks ago that was so NOT ready for prime time it makes YouTube's ContentID system look like it generates no false positives at all. Pictures of beaches and sand dunes flagged? That's just scratching the surface. It doesn't seem to be all the site, just parts that may or may not have had inadvertent exposure to the adult side of the club.
Oh, and they've been leaving the nazi-leaning stuff alone, which has been gaining more and more of a foothold the past couple of years and threatening to start turning the place into a Twitter-style trashfire. Plus, when they roll out automated algorithms to flag content as "mature/unsafe"? It tends to hit otherwise safe-for-work LGBT disproportionately, even when it's working correctly, in part because of automatic straight assumptions being made about what being "out" means, and that we're viewed as being overly sexually driven folks (not any more so than anyone else, as it turns out, it's only different because it's really hard to find others in the LGB part of that, so we tend to make ourselves very visible when we're out).
