@wip @changes @staff

Please let the old version of the dashboard be an option. Having all the account and notification options on the left side just makes it feel cluttered and overwhelming for me. It also compresses the posts on my dashboard, making them less convenient to read. Plus, using the top icons just makes it look slicker and opening them didn't block my feed.

I say this as someone who works in mass communications and frequently collaborates with web and graphic designers.

I know site changes can be necessary sometimes, but this one isn't. I like(d) the fact that Tumblr is/was different from other social media sites, starting with the fact that there was lots of blank space to rest your eyes and really appreciate the hard work Tumblr users--and staff!--put into their posts.

“Based on your likes” has caused me to block a few people. Not because I hate them necessarily, but because I am fucking tired of seeing the same lame post recommended to me Based On Your Likes. Over and over and over again.

Sure, I could turn the feature off. But sometimes I’ve discovered gold via Based On Your Likes. It’s not a bad feature; just needs a way to surgically target a particular post or user and say “Nope, do not show me this again”.

But until then: blocked. Blocked! You’re all blocked.

Tumblr is punishing me by showing me good art for fandoms i like from blogs i don't follow

I can't follow any more blogs you bastards I've hit the 5000 blog cap & there's no way to like unfollow inactive blogs without going through the entire list & checking each blog individually

& i can only queue 1000 posts so there's no way i can reblog it all 😭

hey @staff @changes @wip you clearly aren't listening to us and don't care about what your users want. the new dashboard changes are terrible WHY is everything moved to the left side of the screen it sucks big time and actively makes the ui for confusing for both old and new users. do. better.

You can't post a reply containing the word amitriptyline on Tumblr

I was talking to a friend on a post I made about my health and was talking about taking amitriptyline for fibro soon and it would not send the reply until I had removed amitriptyline

I named two other medications and those are fine

I mentioned injections

That's fine

But I cannot mention amitriptyline which also happens to be a mental health medication even though I am taking it for chronic pain reasons

What the actual fuck tumblr

Hey @wip you know what's not cool? That if a post starts with a video and later reblogs have images I, at least on mobile, cannot click on those images to make them bigger so I can see them more clearly

Instead it shows me a RANDOM IMAGE OR VIDEO FROM SOME OTHER TUMBLR POST

NOBODY WANTS THAT

I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT'S ON THE PICTURE I CLICK ON

ffs

For the love of god fix this!

Hey @staff can we stop with the pregnancy ads? It's pretty tasteless considering what's going on right now, and is triggering for a lot of us. I don't want to see a pregnant belly every time I open this app. I know you don't have a lot of control over what ads end up on here but please do something.
