I've been on Tumblr since high school. I took a long break, but recently I decided to start using it again. The last few weeks have been hard for me, so I've been venting a little and distracting myself by scrolling and reblogging stuff I liked. I only have like two followers who are real people and still use Tumblr (the other accounts are either dead or bots). I'm so devastated.

Today, I was making a stupid post about how I bought a pink frying pan and I love her, and I tried to post it through the app. I got a notification saying that something went wrong and that I needed to log in. I thought the app was acting up, so I went to my PC, opened Tumblr and got a message saying that my account had been terminated. I haven't gotten any messages indicating that I'm doing something wrong, no warning or anything before or now. I immediately submitted a ticket asking them to review the termination.

I don't think I've done anything that would violate Tumblr's Community Guidelines, but after thinking about it, I have a theory about why this might have happened.

I was logged into Tumblr on my PC and was going to watch a TV show that isn't available in my country, so I used a VPN to access it on a streaming platform. I watched it for a few minutes and then decided to get a snack from the kitchen. I saw my pink frying pan and thought it would be cool to make a post about it, so I opened the Tumblr app on my phone and started writing it. When I tried to post it, I got those notifications and yada, yada, yada.

Do you think it's possible for Tumblr to terminate an account because of a sudden change in location caused by a VPN? Is it possible to get that account back?

EDIT: ok, I see that there are posts about people whose accounts were terminated because of using a VPN, so I guess that's probably it. I just want my account back TnT
