pynch is awesome because adam thinks of ronan as being a bad influence that corrupts his innocent straightlaced nature by getting him to act like a reckless teenage boy instead of being the model scholarship student. its not that there isnt any truth to it. ronan is practically defined by reckless behavior. but the stuff ronan talks adam into doing is like. getting into a shopping cart and rolling across the grocery store parking lot. or dragging each other behind the back of a car on a skateboard. and adam is like ronans dangerous hes a savage hes sharp like a knife hes a dark enigma i dont know why i go along with his antics (he does)....but when its adam convincing ronan to do something its "lets fabricate evidence of our latin teacher abusing and murdering little kids and stand outside in his yard and throw a bag of chopped up body parts at him to run him out of town" girl HUH? and ronan is like yeah i basically view adam as an object of worship. and youre like wait hold on you think of him like hes a saint? and ronans like no. hes going to hellll 😁🩷

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[tumblr]

Let's talk about reblog notes.

We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise. 

First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.

We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.

In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that,  including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

Keep an eye on @staff for updates to come soon.

I know a lot of people wont know what to say for sending feedback, and I'm usually terrible as well. But i put together a response using some of the stuff I'd been seeing going around, please feel free to add more but here's what i sent to support in the feedback area! :

Re: The New  Reblog Chain Update

Please reconsider this update. I truly believe it would hinder the use and enjoyment of this site for, just some, of the following reasons:

- it would take credit away from artist who are posting their work. Their art, writing, gifs, and any other creations people make and share. There are already enough issues with theft of creations, this will just make that worse.

- it also cuts off those creators from the feedback they're receiving, by giving that feedback to the person who reblogged it, not the person who created it. The artists/creators then have to go digging through reblogs to see what people are saying, and how people are feeling about their art. Not to mention people's responses to just personal posts or general posts not being seen.

- it hinders the sense of community, by splitting notes, cutting communication, conversations and responses.

- it kills collaborative posting that makes tumblr completely different from other media platforms. A very large reason so many people love it here.

And last but not least,

- it will make it harder for those experiencing harassment, to track down where, how, and from whom that harassment is coming from. Meaning they can't even use the other basic functions of the site, like blocking, to protect themselves in their own spaces.

I'm sure there are other reasons to consider. But please, head the wants of your users and do not roll out, or keep, this update.

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

If you don't like the new note count idea and you want to let tumblr know that you dislike it, you can tell them at this link.

Choose category for support 'feedback' and let them know what you think. Here's some tips:

Be polite. Nobody likes getting cursed at, and you're more likely to catch flies with honey than vinegar etc.

Be Specific. Tell them the exact features you are upset about. Mention the March 16th notes count update.

Be emphatic. Make it clear that you are upset

Remind them that you can take your business elsewhere. This is probably the most important part. Tumblr wants to make money. They might not be great at it, but the key to getting money is getting traffic which means having people already on the site. Let them know you'll use other social media.

If you pay for ad-free, cancel it. Yes, some people do. If you really want to use it on mobile ad-free, Mullvad VPN lets you block ads, even on iOS.

Go forth my psionic warriors!

[realultimatepower]

Looking back into the history of my "fuck staff" tag because today's big announcement has me stewing in anger, and I encountered a change from a while back where they removed profile pics (for some dumb reason) and the uproar was loud enough to get the decision reversed (even as noted idiot cyle argued in favor of the terrible UI change, and even now is reblogging shit that paints himself as the superior intellect plagued by the peons of the userbase).

So yeah, send those feedback tickets, make a fuss. They've reversed course before, no reason they can't do it again.

[wickedsnack]

so as long as tumblr keeps this, here's the tumblr version of etiquette that was maintained when twitter's quote-retweets affected artist visibility/notes:

for art that someone has added reblog commentary to (or removed the caption from), reblog from the source

otherwise, avoid adding reblog comments to art (as this will affect the artist's notes/visibility)—utilize tags and replies to provide commentary (which artists will absolutely appreciate)

reblog comments are comments added to the body of a post, not the tags and not replies.
