i am 1000% cooler online which is not a good thing because im not even cool online

[there-is-still-some-liquor-left]

a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?

I’ve had tumblr for 4 years but some of you bitches have had it for a decade. It’s time to seek penance

[stuckinapril]

writing fanfics has made me go out of my way to learn things and do deep research in ways no colleges, exams, jobs or other projects ever could. yes, it’s a hobby. but it’s also my love and passion. next time you say “fanfics are an unserious activity for kids”, I will actually bite you. no ma’am, while kids certainly can enjoy writing fanfics, it’s sleep-deprived adults — with jobs and responsibilities, bills to pay, kids to raise, animals to take care of, battles to fight — who have built the fanfic community and always been the backbone of it since day one.

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.

hi - as many others have mentioned on this, please don't do this, y'all. nobody asked for this, and it's detrimental to the entire function of your site.

this is devastating for any artist or content maker on this site. the only thing that was even vaguely worth staying on this platform was how reblogs and replies worked. it creates community and encourages sharing and most of all: it helps smaller users get seen.

we already have ways of seeing how many personal notes we've obtained on a post. that is already built in with the site. you are creating some kind of weird visable-popularity hegemony that is completely unnecessary.

you have a fundamental problem with monetizing the site, and i get that. but this does not help you monetize it; it just adds bloat for seemingly no genuine purpose. please consider maybe starting to actually work with your userbase instead of against it (idk, partnership with AO3? fix your video functionality for more short-form content?)

if you're trying to just keep it until we stop complaining about it, please rethink that approach. you are still running because of the communities here, not in spite of.

it's incredibly fucked up that there is a group of disabled people (people with psychosis) who cannot even disclose their condition online or to others without a deluge of humourless losers deciding that their first reaction will be to try and trigger that psychosis with shitty "jokes". same category of people who will send flashing gifs as soon as someone says they have photosensitive epilepsy. these cunts would feed someone a known allergen just to be edgy. imagine being such a feckless dog-like bastard that disability is a funny thing to exploit for the sake of being edgy and not an act of incredible violence
