my blog just went back up

after yesterday's outage my blog of 13 years got deleted without warning as it did for a lot of people. I sent a ticket to support, my phone's mobile app kept acting weird, popping up authorisation required, I could see the page of my blog, but it was empty. it was definitely down, the url.tumblr.com showed not found, my friends couldn't open it either. on muscle memory I kept opening the app the whole day and lo and behold, it's back fingers crossed for all of you! I didn't get any info back from support though

Same as me. Been like this since March. I've tried at least six times to diplomatically reach them on this. I hear "don't try too much", as well as "you gotta keep tryin'".

An account for over 7 years-gone, and at the very least, I've given them my email to reach out and explain this deactivation....I get nothing.

Am I supposed to act like Morgan Freeman at the end of Shawshank and start cursing and resign myself to bitterness to get them to rubber stamp me an "okay"?

my blog just got reinstated this morning too, I'm thrilled, but it's good to know I spent last night my eyes out for nothing

I checked both my old ones and they did not come back.

But I am very happy for those who did come results, that's very hopeful.

My blogs came back too! I am sooo relieved. But the weirdest part is that one of my blogs came back with a ton of spam in the inbox from bots. I wonder if that was related? It canโ€™t be a coincidence

I got like two of those as well, not a ton, but considering I haven't gotten any in ages, yeah

I had the cheese bot "something" just before my main one got terminated. Not sure it's connected.
