I have this one in my favourites, dated may 27th - I think it’s her most recent?

@foreverlurk Thanks, I’ll check that against my archives when I get home.

BTW, it’s been over five years since Tumblr “deleted” my size blog, but all the images are still accessible if you have their precise URLs. This makes me wonder if Colliaz wasn’t, in fact, a victim of DA’s notorious practice of deleting size kink accounts without warning.

[foreverlurk]

@Olo Crap, I hadn’t thought of that. Her content is so sweet and light, there’s no reason unless a mod got trigger happy against size content.

Does “Deactivated” means the same thing as “Deleted”, on Deviantart? Fuck if she’s been taken down we ALL could.

@Olo While it might not be impossible, I would be shocked if that were the case. There was no nudity or noncon or anything sexual in her stuff as far as I remember. The lovey dovey stuff seems as safe as possible from DA’s policies. And like Lurk was saying, she’s shared some of her darker thoughts before, and I think I remember that including potentially leaving the site at some point… Still, I hope she’s just putting things on pause while she figures things out, for her own sake.

That’s recent enough that I hadn’t seen it. What’s before that?

[Olo]

@littlest-lily Her Daz3D gallery is still up, including sizey images.

I promise you that these companies don’t spend any time at all on serious evaluations of these issues. The algorithm flags them for deactivation and you have to appeal it to get a human to look at them. Starting since last year, DA account holders have been told that any depiction of size differential is “ambiguous with regard to issues of consent.”

[littlest-lily]

@Olo I guess I’d be shocked since I’m so involved with the SFW community and haven’t heard this happen to anyone on that side at all. But then again, a lot of folks have moved on from DA by this point, and I don’t particularly trust the site (sigh)

Same. Not going to try to psychologise, but they weren’t in a good headspace, poor thing.

I think, like social media accounts, DA doesn’t allow users to delete their accounts, but you can deactivate instead. Similar with submissions: I tried to do the same with my old account some time ago and they made it VERY hard for me to delete my own art - I had to opt for “archiving” or something that essentially made it unavailable for viewing by anybody (regardless of whether they saved it in their favs or had a link to it). It still remain on DA’s servers though, I guess. Likely something in the fineprint under and ownership clause, etc. It did the job, but I was/am still miffed about it.

Okay, I had that one. Thanks.

[foreverlurk]

Good news, it seems her account is back although she hasn’t posted anything new yet.

[Olo]

@foreverlurk Are all the old pieces back, or does she still have to reupload them?

[foreverlurk]

@Olo Hmm everything looks there but I can’t know for sure if anything has been removed. The most recent pieces are intact. I won’t pry too much but I did ask on her profile if everything was okay.

[Olo]

@foreverlurk The absence of any statement regarding censorship by DA inclines me toward your original theory that this was a personal retreat by Colliaz, possibly related to depression.
