it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store

[adriagan]

if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.

[adriagan]

btw this isn't solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable... frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it's because you've fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i'm at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.

"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."

is it just me or are old posts clearly also segmented into several different posts now despite them writing they won't be???

[jackiefour]

Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...

Sound off, Tumblr! How do you feel about the latest update to the reblog and notes?

Hate it. 👎

Like it. 👍

No nuance. Go ahead and reblog the crap out of this.

[jackiefour]

Well would you look at that. My original post shows 33 notes, and yet, somehow, there are 81 reblogs on the reblog graph. Because @staff don't think that I, the creator of the post, need or want to know the actual engagement my post is getting.

Who's idea was this update?? What were they thinking? Were they thinking?

[ohcorny]

update that is gonna make artists start blocking people who comment so they can't take their notes

[ohcorny]

content aggregator blogs that just comment with three flower emojis and somehow rack up thousands more notes than OP. 16-22 year old fandom artists putting COMMENTERS DNI in their bio and COMMENT IN TAGS at the bottom of their posts. hapless i-check-tumblr-once-a-week users commenting on a reblog and getting their inboxes full of scolding. people making multiple single-posts instead of reblogging their own posts to continue a thought.

the culture of this place is gonna get so fucked. PVP enabled website.

[buboplague]

Seeing the tags in reblogs is really important to me. It's the most genuine way people leave comments/words on my work on any social media platform, either directly or indirectly, and I always feel really humbled and grateful to read them. Seeing tumblr remove that is really sad. Why are you cutting off OPs from tags (comments) on THEIR OWN POST?

[loveisdumb]

creators have spent the past few years begging people to reblog posts so that communities can continue to thrive, artists can continue to share their work, and people can still be exposed to the things they love. somehow, these years of begging have resulted in tumblr itself implementing an update that completely kills all creators. why even bother making a post if every person who reblogs it will get the credit. this is an absolutely devastating update to every creator & to tumblr itself as a community.

Interesting.

Under the new post model, flagging a thread's root post as non-rebloggable affects only the root post and any reblogs without comments; reblogs with comments which were made before the root post was made non-rebloggable now remain rebloggable, regardless of the root post's settings.

Further, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism at all for flagging a reblog with comments as non-rebloggable, not even by the reblog's own author; the upshot is that any post that's been reblogged with a comment even once effectively cannot be made non-rebloggable at all.

Between this and rendering nearly all non-first-order reblogs with comments undiscoverable to the author of the original post, I imagine harassment campaigns are going to have a field day!

[thegenderal]

as a denizen of this busted ass website for half my life now i do know how staff works and i’m going to lay out what they think will happen as someone who has witnessed this exact thing play out

People get very mad for a few days and then roll over and accept the change to the enclosure. This is what they are betting on. They have had meetings about this.

Getting around it: set an alarm. Get mad not just now, but in a few days, a week, two weeks. They are expecting people to sigh and get over this very odd edit to the site in a few days. Keep flooding them for more than just tonight. Be mad for the week, for the month. Leave a message every day.

[thegenderal]

like . I cant even blame them for being like “we’ll monitor for the week”. Remember when they changed the blue back in like 2015? This website acted like staff had gone into their house and shot their dog. We’re here because we’re allergic to change and therefore it’s hard to parse if people hate the change because it’s bad or because we go into thermonuclear meltdown over what color blue the background of the website is. Just continue to bug them beyond today and beyond this week.

[drfunkbeat]

Another "for later" step I'd recommend is, once the changes are out in the mobile app (NOT YET), leave a one star review on the app store and mention why. If the rating goes down significantly, that provides quantitative evidence that people do not want this change and it's a bad idea.

[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.

It makes me cry that possums can carry stuff with their tails. It’s so cute. But if I told a possum that it would probably think i was being condescending
