do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times
Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus
remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play
Remember when they decided to deprecate fanmail but instead of totally removing it they just left fanmail in but took out the ability for you to reply to it if it was received but made sure that you couldn’t keep people from sending them to you so people kept passive aggressively using them to go over the character limit for asks and then making you screencap/copy/paste their fanmail post if you wanted to publicly answer it?
