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.

They say that there’s every single kind of people on Reddit but today I found a Japanese person from Japan trying to emigrate to ČR for RELIGIOUS REASONS.

I was raised extremely religious so I get that living in Japan (non-religious country) as a religious person is hard, but… then, out of all European countries, ČR???????? I’m “do whatever you want forever” gang but this doesn’t make sense

This kind of people make me doubt if I’m sounding this nonsensical to people when I say I write papers about Jirásek

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Maybe they just want to slowly acclimatize and every few years they'll move to a slightly more religious country until perhaps one day they end up in the Vatican

Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.

The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.

[fall1ngfeather]

(afaik- the woman who popularized gender reveals did so because she had a long history of miscarriages. The reveal was a celebration of the fact that one of her pregnancies had gotten far enough that there WAS a physical sex to reveal. It was never intended to be like... *gestures at modern gender reveals* all that. That same kid later came out as trans and yes, the family had a second gender reveal for that lol.)

Oh, hey, new statistics-driven research rabbithole that is going to radicalize me. Neat!

[ms-demeanor]

Oh. Hey. New information access conundrum that is going to radicalize me. Fuck.

[ms-demeanor]

Here's the thing, there is a lot of REALLY REALLY excellent, interesting information out there that demonstrates trends and patterns that could be used to help people be less manipulable and more effective and could help people to better understand the world they are actually living in and not the world that is being terrifylingly presented to them by like, three corporations that make earthshaking amounts of money off of their fear.

And that information lives on insecure county websites and university databases that haven't been updated since 2009 and is completely opaque and tremendously difficult to verify if you don't have a ton of time and a ton of skills available to throw at the problem.

[ms-demeanor]

Long story short:

In 2024, homicide was the cause of death for 5% of the deaths of homeless people in Los Angeles County.

In 2022, homeless people were 20% of the victims of homicide in LA county.

15% of the homicide deaths in LA county from 2018 to 2022 where unhoused people. In that same time period, 14% of the homicide deaths in LA county were women.

Unhoused people are less than a tenth of a percent of the population of Los Angeles County but are somewhere between 15-20% of the murder victims in the county.

PEH Report on Mortality Trends among the unhoused population of LA county from 2015 to 2024.

LA County Public Health table of homicide victims per year 2018 to 2022.

LA County Medical Examiner's 2024 Annual Report.

The article that got me to start digging here - reporting that homicide was the cause of death for 5% of homeless people got me to ask "if homicide is responsible for 5% of homeless deaths in this analysis, what percent of the homicide total for that year was homeless people [15%] and what percentage of the total population were homeless people? [.077186%]"

Anyway.

The way that we report on crime is absolutely bug fuck insane and I'm forever mad about the way that violent crime is framed in our news media.

[ms-demeanor]

If you want to reduce the total number of abortions, the best way to do that is to give free birth control to everyone who wants it and to provide as much education about reproductive health to as many people as early as you possibly can.

If you want to reduce the homicide rate, there are lots of things that could help but one big thing could be immediately housing a population that is tremendously vulnerable to being murdered with no questions about sobriety or work requirements or mental illness.

This could be at least partially paid for by the savings from the county policing and medical systems that have resources tied up by the crime and medical emergencies associated with having a large unhoused population.

But when you look at the reaction that people have to these kinds of statistics, it becomes clear that many people don't want to actually reduce the number of abortions or drop the homicide rate, they want a society in which people are punished for behaving in ways that they find distasteful.

Which is not a problem that can be solved by statistics but is also not a problem that I think is impossible to solve.

Anyway. Housing for all, housing forever, housing first!

slowing intuiting the rules and goals of solitaire through trial and error on what the computer does and does not let me do rather than looking up the rules because it's a much funnier way to learn

[crabfisher]

just learned you can move cards between stacks. how lovely

[crabfisher]

i did it.

[dizzyhslightlyvoided]

Yay!

What have you learned about how solitaire works?

[crabfisher]

FIRST RULE OF SOLITAIRE: aces are useless. put them on the top right. SECOND RUE OF SOLITAIRE: two's are about as useless as aces. discard them to the ace pile as soon as possible THIRD RULE OF SOLITAIRE: it's hard. FOURTH RULE OF SOLITAIRE: it's really hard; FIFTH RUlE OF SOLITAIRE: you need to make the cards count down. But watch out. You must Alternate The Colours FOURTH RULE OF SOLITAIRE: make if you already have a red king and only have one more spot to add a king do not add another red king. You will lose. SIXTH RULE OF SOLITAIRE: make sure to do every possible move with cards already on the board before adding cards from your draw pile. You WILL screw yourself over SEVENTH RULE OF SOLITAIRE: good luck. Don't forget to beyourself and have fun

[crabfisher]

I don'te. Know

I feel like it's important for the uninitiated to know that OP is playing solitaire on neopets
