In other words, if you’re using an ATT email for your Tumblr account, you need to go change your email or you will pretty much be…
banned
Well this sucks but I don’t want it catching people by surprise so signal boost I guess
what the actual fuck
THIS IS REAL.
IF THIS AFFECTS YOU, GET A GMAIL ACCOUNT OR SOMETHING AND SET IT AS YOUR EMAIL FOR YOUR TUMBLR PREFS RIGHT AWAY. YOU HAVE TODAY, TOMORROW, AND THURSDAY TO DO SO OR YOU LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR TUMBLR.
I’m still confused as to why it isn’t affecting other email providers. It seems so arbitrary and capricious.
It might be because of the contract between AT&T and Yahoo coming to an end: AT&T was using Yahoo as their email provider.
I’m pretty sure this is the ending of the AT&T Yahoo! deal from like a decade ago
