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!

changes

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

cryptotheism

Seeing the update in full function, and speaking as someone that relies on this website to promote my work and pay my bills, here are my thoughts:

This update makes me extremely anxious. It is now more difficult than ever to track who is interacting with my posts. I've dealt with stalking and harassment on this website for years, and the idea that the people stalking me can reblog my posts without my knowing makes me want to significantly reduce my presence here.

Additionally, it undercuts one of the core aspects of why I use this website. As an amateur edutainment writer, I love that people can ask me questions, and I can respond with essay-length reblogs. Under the new system, if a post leaves my orbit, I have no way of tracking it. Are people confused? Angry? Maliciously misinterpreting? Having fun? I can't know.

I have a prediction: The ability to interact with posts undetected will embolden this websites most malicious and toxic users. If this change is not reverted, the user base will become steadily worse until the platform becomes unuseable.

good news is my outdated mobile version still works fine. really awesome platform when a months out of date revision works objectively better than the most recent

mutationgirl

hang on. if my months outdated mobile app still allows me to properly sort thru notes on post. does that not imply they’re handling this change pretty much entirely frontend and just hiding/not loading the truncated parts of the chain?

gremlingirlsmell

the long awaited sequel to "what the hell looks this website's backend like": "this website frontend must be insane too"

#Tumblr Stuff #Tumblr Update

Folks, for those of you who use Tumblr primarily from phones, stop everything you are doing right now and figure out how to turn off auto updates in the Tumblr app as soon as possible.

The web is fucked up, it's borderline unusable, but the apps haven't been updated yet.

Oh wow I hate this. So I tested it a little on a side blog and this is what it does

Then, if you go to the notes on the original post, it only shows the reblog from "two"

So the OP doesn't get to see how much engagement their post has unless people like/reblog from the original post. If someone adds any sort of comment, it splits them up like this. Artists, writers, crafters will see less engagement, nobody will know how far the reach of their post is or if someone says something nice about it. If you want OP to know, you'd have to make a conscious effort to reblog from the first post listed in the chain.

Not only is this going to be bad for general community things, but this could easily promote harassment. You won't see anything but the initial reblog from you if someone makes an addition, so there could be whole conversations that go completely missed.

Thanks, tumblr. Very cool 👍

I need to see how this reblog thing works, can some of u reblog and talk within those separate reblogs?

pukicho

Yeah the moment a second person reblogs my post from someone else, I am no longer able to see their comments nor is it tallied to my original post, thus making it completely separate from mine. Fucking bullshit. Legitimately terrible for everyone.

And of course this reblog under my own post now has its own SEPERATE notes, reblogs and replies.

I just left a plantation tour in Louisiana. I have a lot to say…

purplechocolatekisses

SAY IT!

kimreesesdaughter

I honestly thought I knew everything about slavery. Not so.

The owner of this particular plantation had it built by slaves for 3 years. Every brick was handmade. Over 120,000 bricks on 2,000+ acres of land (this place was huge.) The clay used for the bricks came from the Mississippi River. The majority of the slaves are buried under the Levees and water. Some are buried with their Masters. Not allowed to live with them but could be dead with them.

Before you enter the house, there’s a list of slaves who lived here including their age and how much they were purchased for. 124 total. Some slaves were worth as little as $25. As young as 5 years old.

On this particular plantation, the owner was big on punishment…he used noise making neck restraints. Imagine three 4lb balls around your neck with bells inside. Children were restrained by ankle locks that connected between their ankles.

This was a sugar cane plantation, one the worst practices to involve slaves because of its danger. A lot of slaves were decapitated, amputees and killed from the fields and machinery. A lot of kids lost their lives creating sugar. Speaking of children, a child stood in the living room and operated the fan with a string while guests ate dinner. As young as 3 years old.

Here’s what shook me even further: Before the Civil War, a lot of slave owners were going in debt and could not afford their properties and were not producing enough cotton and sugar to maintain their lifestyles. Slaves were used as HUMAN CREDIT CARDS. Slaves were a guaranteed line of credit. You could get HALF of your property’s value depending on how many healthy and able slaves you owned.

My people were human credit cards and lines of credit to BANKS. We were property. We were labeled as equipment and nothing more.

There is no such thing as a good slave owner. They owned my PEOPLE and used them as checks and balances. This cycle continues with prison and brutality. I do not want to hear shit about “Why can only Black people say this or that?” I don’t want to hear shit about “we’re all human.”

And by the way, not one of those slaves are at rest. Those spirits were so alive, you could feel their presence, their pain and someday, their revenge.

The front of the house and yard. This plantation was huge. Just thinking about my ancestors tending to all this land…

SOME of the enslaved names, ages, race and purchase price.

The living room.

Interior.

The dining room. That piece hanging above the table is ORIGINAL to the house. That’s the fan that a slave as young as 3 years old had to operate manually with a string.

The view from the balcony in the main hallway. This is how they looked over the slaves while they worked in the yard.

*sigh* Names of the enslaved that occupied the shacks. Children included. Their names are written inside one of the shacks. I’m not sure if there are other names inside other shacks because I could only handle 2. After I saw the punishment equipment, I left.

Slave Shacks. These are NOT the original shacks. These were built to imitate them.

Slaves for Sale Ads.

The landscape of Slavery throughout the United States in 1860. JUST 1860. Let that sink in.

Note: The last time the home was OWNED by a Louisiana citizen was 1972. This is her original bedroom, her lipstick is STILL on the dresser. This is why the house has been updated since slavery times because it was occupied up until 1972. Regardless, this used to be where house slaves slept.

This really fuckin happened, don’t let white people tell you that it’s in the past & to let it go.

It's tax season in the USA and that means it's time for a yearly PSA for fellow USAmericans!

Don't be fooled by bullshit like Turbotax. If you make less than $89,000 a year (I'd say confidently that's 99% of Tumblr), you are entitled to use the IRS free file tool for your taxes. This page from the IRS lists all the software providers they have partnered with to provide this service. I have only used one on the list, but it was as good as or maybe better than Turbotax, and I repeat, free for the federal tax return. You MIGHT still have to pay a fee to file a state tax return, but it should be nominal. If you don't want to do it online, you can also go to the IRS to print out the forms directly and turn them in.

DO NOT let Turbotax trick you out of money. Drop them like a hot potato. This is a "fuck Turbotax" account.
