Note

UPDATE:

TUMBLR GOT IT TOGETHER AND ROLLED BACK THE UPDATE (mostly) 💥💥💥

(pray they get it together and realise we actually function fine as we are guys.)

(going back to my og purpose of liking notes, finding 10k posts, grieving the ([amount] notes) button, participating in note games, and totaling up notes)

-feel free to @ me or send me posts you want done.

-don't let them try and force this past the upset. this doesn't stay or we don't stay. (keeping this as a point despite us 'winning' because it always stands true with tumblr staff tbh)

-tags if you want to filter my posts: 10k notes, tumblr update, not notes, notes

-REMEMBER. REBLOGS ARE AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST NOTE. REBLOGREBLOGREBLOGREBLOG REBLOG ART REBLOG MEMES REBLOG STORIES PLEASEOLEASEPLEASE

reverse censoring where everything EXCEPT the swear words are crossed out.

This is just Tumblr's automated mature content flags.

"we live in an uncaring universe"

false. i care very deeply. am i not a part of this infinite universe?

[existennialmemes]

"We live in an uncaring universe" factoid is actually a statistical error. Most conscious beings in the universe care a lot. Capitalism Georg who runs on suffering and eats the hopes and dreams of the entire earth is actually an outlier and should not have been counted.

Sorry for us politics posting, but we have until May 22, 2026 to submit public comment to the FCC:

More info from GLAAD:

https://glaad.org/fcc/

They have some good tips about writing a comment and protecting your privacy which, fuck it, I'll just paste here:

Providing an email address is optional. If you have concerns about privacy, you may use your initials or public address in your local area, such as City Hall. Do not use a joke name. It diminishes the comment’s credibility.

Your submission does not need to be long. A single, well-reasoned paragraph is sufficient.

Do not copy/paste a template comment. The FCC values unique perspectives, and an original comment carries significantly more weight in the public record. You can explain why this matters to you without revealing private or sensitive personal information.

Here's what I said:

“Free speech is a fundamental American freedom. I do not need a warning about seeing queer people, much like I do not need a warning about women, veterans, or any other group of people.”

Here's the link to submit your comment by May 22:

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.

[lifesgrandparade]

Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

[notes-offical]

not if staff have any say in the matter

[honestlydarkprincess]

to celebrate the ides of march this year tumblr decided to stab its users in the back

[writingdose]

hi @tumblr @staff @support @changes

when we reblog a post and add our little comments or tags in the reblogs, we don’t want to take credits or notes from the op. the whole point we add our little comments or tags in reblogs is so that op gets notes and credits. that’s their post. op deserves all the notes and credits. that’s why we praise “reblog don’t repost” on tumblr dot com — by “taking notes from the op and giving them to the commenters”, you’re basically turning reblogs into reposts. and it’s so discouraging to artists, creators, everybody on your platform.

I’m thankful you are reversing the change. but please listen to your users when we say the original reblog system is already perfect as it is. it doesn’t need to be changed and it certainly doesn’t need to be fixed when it’s not broken. it’s what makes tumblr tumblr.

you said you wanted to “give every voice in a chain the credit it deserves”, our urls are attached to the tags and comments we make, we already have the credits. things already work just fine. nobody is complaining about “wanting more credit” when they add their comments or tags in the reblogs.

with all due respect, so many of us love tumblr because it’s not twitter or tiktok. so please stop trying to turn it into something it’s not supposed to be.

[notes-offical]

@tumblr @changes @support @staff

if you need to update things for whatever reason, look at something other then the bones of your site and user base. people do have better suggestions and there are things users wouldn't mind or would even be happy to see. but we don't, have never, and will never want you to change reblogs.

[fuchsea]

btw i want to say that the entire tumblr community banding together is what got these changes reversed so i hope u all realise the power of a reblog and start reblogging posts instead of just liking them this is the reblog website so hit that button right now

[sabertoothwalrus]

I DO think tumblr's dev team has been instructed to constantly implement new features and that's why they keep tweaking the UI in goofy ways. I imagine this is an upper management thing, so even if we say "well don't change anything and just maintain the status quo" they'll continue to make other changes anyway.

I will admit I REALLY like the recent improvements they've added to tumblr's search (you can exclude terms now!! you can search multiple tags!! and time frames!!) so it's not like they're incapable of adding useful features. it might be mutually beneficial for us as users if we were more vocal about things we want and don't want. Some features I'd like to see added:

spoilerable text

spoilerable images

the return of hover text!! remember when we had that?

ability to embed videos in reblogs

ANIMATED GIF ICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ability to turn off other people's animated gif icons

the ability to filter original posts on a user's ENTIRE blog, not just a tag/search

more html support, like what if we could build tables

adding reactions to replies! I'm glad we can like them more but it'd be nice if we could take this further

embeddable tiktoks?? I don't even use tiktok but I remember trying to embed one in like 2020 and I'm surprised we still can't! even vines were able to be embedded

being able to search in your DMs. not being able to do this is why I tend to redirect mutuals to discord

MUTING USERS POSTS/COMMENTS WITHOUT BLOCKING THEM! just cause I don't want to see someone's posts doesn't mean I don't want us to never interact ever

a mutual-only dashboard feed

a feed for the blogs you're subscribed to

get rid of tumblr tv lmao I've literally never used it

"mark as read" button for communities without opening them

please dear god no AI shit unless it's a way for me to filter/block it easier

several of these I've submitted support tickets for under "feedback", and if there's anything you feel strongly about I suggest you do too!

[ominous-signs]

Bring back the ability to click prev tags/reblogs (especially useful to check back chains of “prev prev prev tags” and what not to see exactly what that person said)

[satan-offical]

Okay so I'm getting the vibe that the log off is on the 20th of March, so SPREAD THE WORD!! YOU HATE THE UPDATE??! SO DO I!! DON'T GO ON TUMBLR ON THE 20TH OF MARCH IN FORM OF PROTEST!

[satan-offical]

Guys

False alarm

THE PEOPLE WON!!! THE BEST KIND OF HOPE IS THE LOUDEST KIND AND OUR VOICES WERE VERY LOUD INDEED!! LETS GO, WE WILL NOT BECOME TWITTER AND WE WILL NEVER BE TWITTER!

LONG LIVE THE NOTES!!

[notes-offical]

this is a great day for notes on tumblr and for community amongst people!! :D

staff still wants to mess with things (of course they do 🫩) and im still grieving the ([amount]notes) section on posts, but thank fucking god that they didn't go through with genuinely killing off their website.

[tumblr]

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. 

[notes-offical]

@staff Thank you. This change deffintaly would've been a last chop to a majority of the user base, especially with how you went about it. We appreciate you listening to people's thoughts and feedback. I don't think the users here feel a need for reblogs to change, but if they do we would much rather be aware of change, and to keep -at least- the fundamental properties of Tumblr, if not all the ones we have been perfectly fine having for over a decade.
