I request all Indians to please, please submit this attached form. As progressive and empathetic citizens to whom fundamental human rights matter - it is our moral and ethical duty to firmly condemn and oppose the new Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026. Do take a moment to read the form, but the gist of the matter is - the Indian government is changing the definition of what "transgender" means in Indian law, in a way that explicitly, specifically dismisses individuals with "self-perceived" gender identities from any kind of legal protection. There are several more extremely harmful layers to the definition change that make this already insidious bill even more malicious, all of which has been elaborated upon in the write-up. Please, please fill the form, it comes from a legitimate source and can be submitted completely anonymously. If you are not from India, please reblog this to make sure it reaches as many Indian citizens as possible. Please guys, we can't let this happen to our country! We can't let the identities of our fellow Indians get illegitimised!

One thing that has always flabbergasted me: people headcannoning characters as familial has turned in to this weird culture where people believe you to be a bad person if you ship two characters who are "sibling coded", aka the accuser interprets the text that way. This is silly of course but I often giggle to myself when I see things like this because usually, if you look into the sibling coder, they ship something that in "competition" with the assumed fauxcest ship and therin lies their motivation for trying to character assassinate their romantic adversaries. Personally I don't really see relationship boundaries at all, so restricting someone's emotions towards another character based on these strict binaries isn't really my thing. But I do enjoy whenever people tag my posts absolutely insisting characters are siblings, as if they want to signal to their in group that they do not in fact ship this most cancellable fauxcest they made up in their heads. Allosexuals am I right
This annoys me so much it's become a meme with my friends to the point of a heavily used emote in our server
Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...
Sound off, Tumblr! How do you feel about the latest update to the reblog and notes?
Hate it. 👎
Like it. 👍
No nuance. Go ahead and reblog the crap out of this.

Rip out our necks, i saw you there”

funny that i had this in my drafts when this stupid ass update rolled out. i was literally praising the cumulative notes feature that has been essential to tumblr the entire time it's been a website. but now i'm never going to see the comments and tags on my work again, because everyone who tags my posts or comments on it will see it instead of me. discouraging and frustrating and making me seriously wish to god i could post to any other website but i think if tumblr becomes unusable i will simply stop sharing my work online.
Homura mogging and aura farming after Mami was horrifically killed and Madoka and Sayaka are in a state of severe shock will never not be funny
The Death of the Digital Ecosystem: Why Decoupling Notes Destroys Tumblr
@staff
For years, the total note count on a post served as a universal metric of a piece of content's impact. Whether a user liked the original post or a reblog fifteen branches deep, that engagement flowed back to the source. This ensured that the original artist, writer, or editor received the full credit for the viral success of their work.
Under this new system, engagement is trapped within the specific reblog a user happens to see on their dashboard. If a massive, high-traffic blog reblogs a piece of art from a small creator, every like and reblog that occurs through that larger account stays with them. The original creator is left with a stagnant note count on their own dashboard while their work generates thousands of interactions for someone else.
Erasure of Creator Visibility
Instead of seeing one post with 10,000 notes, a creator may now have to hunt through dozens of different reblog chains to find where the conversation is actually happening.
If the notes no longer flow back to the original post, the creator loses the ability to see who is enjoying their work, what the tags say, and how the community is responding.
On a platform where engagement often dictates visibility, splitting that engagement into tiny, unlinked fractions makes it significantly harder for original works to gain momentum compared to the high-reach blogs that reblog them.
Incentivizing the "Big Blog" Monopoly
This system rewards accounts that have already established a large following at the direct expense of the smaller accounts that actually produce the content. It transforms reblogging from a method of sharing into a method of acquisition.
When a reblog functions as its own independent post with its own note count, the incentive to click through to the original source disappears. The platform is transitioning from a collaborative ecosystem into a standard social media feed where the person who posts the content last—not the person who made it—reaps the rewards.
Impact on Collaborative Conversations
Tumblr’s unique culture is built on the reblog chain: a chronological, evolving conversation. By allowing users to like or reblog "any part" of the chain as an independent entity, the platform is breaking the narrative thread.
If engagement is siloed into specific branches, the incentive to add to a conversation is replaced by an incentive to simply own a piece of the engagement. This change doesn't encourage conversation. It encourages the commodification of individual posts within a chain, making it harder for the original voice to ever be heard over the noise of the rebloggers.
The Disincentive to Create
Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this update is the psychological toll on the creative community. When the platform actively diverts credit and engagement away from the source, it destroys the motivation to share original work at all.
For many, the reward for posting is seeing how far their work travels. If that travel is now invisible or attributed to others, the labor of creating becomes thankless.
This system makes creators want to share nothing. If the platform is built to harvest a creator's effort for the benefit of curator blogs, the logical response is to stop providing the raw material. I am one leaning into this category. Without us creators, the curator blogs have nothing to curate.
By making it harder to protect and track one's own work, the platform is effectively telling creators that their presence is secondary to the conversations happening around their work: conversations they may no longer even be able to find.
update that is gonna make artists start blocking people who comment so they can't take their notes
content aggregator blogs that just comment with three flower emojis and somehow rack up thousands more notes than OP. 16-22 year old fandom artists putting COMMENTERS DNI in their bio and COMMENT IN TAGS at the bottom of their posts. hapless i-check-tumblr-once-a-week users commenting on a reblog and getting their inboxes full of scolding. people making multiple single-posts instead of reblogging their own posts to continue a thought.
the culture of this place is gonna get so fucked. PVP enabled website.
I will be the one to protect you
