#backdating

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

tumblr removing the backdating option - something basic to almost every blogging platform since the ancient days - has essentially broken my ability to use this platform (mostly to post old newspapers and organize them to make it easier to locate latter). Not sure if I'll even stick around without backdating.

That getting rid of backdating happened right as a moral panic over Palestinian scammers asking for aid to escape genocide broke on tumblr - despite years of people complaining about this issue with backdating - is just cruelty and very telling.

(surely there are better options to track when a post was originally made - if you reblogged a post that is later backdated, the original posted date is visible to users.)

Buckle up, AO3 subscribers.

I didn’t intend to spend a bunch of time this week backing up my toastystats to AO3 (and it’s inconvenient timing, as I’m on a work trip & visiting friends as well), but.... weirdly, tumblr didn’t consult me about changing their guidelines??? ;P  

Anyway, I am going to start archiving a bunch more stats stuff over to AO3, and I’m sorry for the spammy email notifications some of you will receive as a result.  Any opinions on whether to backdate the AO3 works to the date they were originally posted on Tumblr?

@tumblr What's even the point to having Tumblr compared to Instagram or Twitter now that they got rid of backdating

I might as well not even bother being on here anymore this just sucks

Backdated from here on out.

Everything that's on this blog before this date and time has been backdated and transferred from Twitter (@A260815). Everything is pretty much identical aside from a few stylistic choices that I've made now that I have the option of formatting and more characters per post. I was never really a Twitter person before Musk got his hands on it, and I'm making my happy retreat back to this hellsite where I can work easier and not worry about whatever the fuck is going on over there.

Backdating isn't complete by the time I'm posting this, but I should finish it by the end of the week at the latest.
