jsyk if I gave a like to something you made (gifs, edits, moodboards, fic, meta, anything) then it will eventually be reblogged, just not here. this is my main and it's largely inactive for 'being stalked and harassed' reasons.

so. likes will come from here, but reblogs happen elsewhere.

my sideblogs run on queue 24/7 and I'm disabled, thus sometimes very slow at updating. but sooner or later, I will get to it, and your thing that I liked will be reblogged.

I'm not 'spam liking' and I'm not 'using tumblr like instagram' - I've been here for over a decade, I know how shit works and I support all creators. thank you for coming to my ted talk or whatever

The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!

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.

tumblr staff acting like my landlord the way they stay actively choosing to fuck up the stuff that doesn't need to be touched, ignore the stuff that badly needs to be fixed, and charge me a fucking fortune (premium subscription doubled between renewals) just for the dubious privilege of being here and watching my home crumble around me...

This is horrible I can't see the number of notes on my posts at all without adding up everything in the chain

Cursed cursed cursed evil evil evil

[jv]

This is a terrible idea. Horrible.

EXTREMELY BAD HOLY FUCK.

This would kill the entire point of the reblog chain. Staff, please, don't do this. It will transform the reblog chain in just plain twitter quotes.

[jv]

Seriously, this is a tumblr-killer feature. This breaks the most fundamental way tumblr is different from any other social network. This makes tumblr just another blueskytwitterthreads. Or worse: An unfederated mastodon clone.

Please, stop this. Please, don't roll this out.

[jv]

Please, mutuals, post about this, comment and reblog the original post (while you still can without making it your own quote-post). I don't know if staff is looking or if the feedback would matter, but seriously, this is a terrible change that would kill tumblr as we know it. Please, don't roll it out.

[jv]

look, I can endure any kind of UI changes that are supposed to help tumblr-rookies to understand how this works. They may be a nuisance, but that's ok, we have x-kit or we can get used to buttons being here or there.

But this. This changes the data architecture. This changes the SINGLE THING that makes tumblr the "... yes and" website. This KILLS THE COLLABORATIVE POSTING THAT MAKES THIS SITE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MEDIA PLATFORMS.

Please, don't do this. Please, don't ship this.

[dakt37]

Tumblr has explicitly said in the past that they do not look at comments on their updates posts. You have to PUT IN A SUPPORT TICKET AND SELECT FEEDBACK FROM THE DROPDOWN

[trek-tracks]

What a terrible idea! Looks like we've decided to reward drive-by quips, particularly by popular bloggers, to the exclusion of original work. If we want to reward original additions, why not acknowledge both?

[oraclegazes]

you've been gone twice as long as we knew each other and I still miss you every day. I don't even know if you're ever coming back, I don't know what happened to you or if you're okay, I feel like I'm grieving a little more each day and I have nowhere to put all the love my heart still holds for you. I love you so much my darling moonbeam, wherever you are 🌙

[patrochilles-or-bust]

To my non-white viewers of this question: in the tags, what are some things you'd do if you didn't have to deal with racists or racism (let's say they all got somehow muted)? This can be anything, from fandom to professional spaces

[patrochilles-or-bust]

(i clipped a few that stood out)

The fact that things like "breathe better", "go outside/travel", "create more", "create specifically for my people", "go to school", "know my own language", and "actually participate in cosplay and nuanced discussion about ourselves" are responses to this question. These are things that should be like....universal experiences, and yet they're dampened by racists/racism. Insanity.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

ADDING TO THE LIST:

New ones include: "speaking my country's actual name", "feeling less cornered", "completely trusting my friends", "wearing my cultural clothing", "eating my culture's food safely", "representation", "SMILING", "having a resting face not be taken as a challenge or lack of interest" (which, @malt-rants-and-stuff i feel on SO many personal levels bc they still doing that shit with me !!!!), and "trusting your teachers to give an unbiased fuck about you" (okay i really paraphrased but that one makes me so mad)

Y'all I'm begging you to read these reblogs, or to actually talk to and listen to your friends of color.
