I've been on tumblr for many, many years but this takes the cake for the worst update I've ever seen them implement. It has compromised a core element of the site and if they refuse to roll it back I probably will completely stop posting here, unfortunately. Seeing little comments and thoughts in the tags of reblogs is one of my favourite things when posting art here and I read them often because it makes me happy to see others enjoy my art! Even if it's just a single word I'm always happy to see it! Having that mode of engagement cut off is extremely upsetting and baffling, and I just can't understand who thought this was a good idea. Even without this issue, the update is a navigational nightmare and completely fragments conversations. I'm extremely uninterested in figuring out various new hoops to jump around trying to adapt to this, so unless they reroll this nonsense I'll simply be on Twitter and Blueksy. If you use Toyhou.se I also have an account there.
Looks like they rolled back the update! However, I'm concerned that this doesn't seem to be the end of it since they still seem bent on making some sort of change to reblogs. At least for now I'm grateful that this specific dumpster fire has been avoided.
