Please read the whole post before voting. Please only vote with a number if you are NOT using an un-updated version of the app.

Please vote and reblog but please do not reblog with a comment in the text of your reblog

When you reblog please tag with the same FIRST tag as the person you're reblogging from

Feel free to reply that's not what I'm looking at and I feel like we need somewhere to yell.

Again, you're going to vote in the poll (answer with the count closest to the bottom of the post you're seeing), you're going to reblog without any text or comments to avoid making a new reblog thread but still check the spread of the post, you're going to tag the post with the same FIRST tag as the person you're reblogging from (feel free to add other tags if you want, but the first one should be exactly the same as the person you're reblogging from).

Vote for the reblog count closest to the bottom of the post you see

Reblog with no text in the body of the reblog

Tag with the same first tag as prev

Thank you for your participation in this experiment!

Griping continues: I LOVE when I find a post that so deeply resonates with me and I have a deep and genuine "Amazing post OP! Yes and yes and yes and--" and now I can't "Yes and" without stealing ALL the note engagement from my reblog onward??

No more engaging with OP? No more building up a communal post? No more stupid funny back-and-forth posts without bearing the stink that every person commenting is stealing the notes and the tags and compliments and the thoughts?

I have to shut up on everyone else's posts now. You all have to shut up on mine. I hate that!!! I like to talk and I like when yall fucking talk to me.

Everyone mumble in the tags forever I guess. Anyone who adds a comment unthinkingly gets shot in the street.

[phantomrose96]

And like. One or the other has to win, right, if they do this? Either it's "No Reblog Chains Forever" or "Wanton Note Stealing Forever." Which one sucks less? Is it sadder to kill all conversation before it happens out of respect and consideration, or to go "Ah OP I love this post and have all these thoughts to tell you. Sorry that doing this is stealing the notes. Sorry. I wish it wasn't."

Do you just create a website of split opinions? Commenters who are wincing while doing it but genuinely want to express community and engagement, and OPs watching them with hostile disdain for stealing the fucking post?

[phantomrose96]

I DID IN FACT JUST NOTICE THIS. WITH THIS POST.

MY REBLOG STOLE MY OWN FUCKING ENGAGEMENT. WHERE DO I CHECK THE NOTES ON THIS NOW 3-PART POST? FUCK ALL IF I KNOW

[staff]

we fucked up

[wickedsnack]

so as long as tumblr keeps this, here's the tumblr version of etiquette that was maintained when twitter's quote-retweets affected artist visibility/notes:

for art that someone has added reblog commentary to (or removed the caption from), reblog from the source

otherwise, avoid adding reblog comments to art (as this will affect the artist's notes/visibility)—utilize tags and replies to provide commentary (which artists will absolutely appreciate)

reblog comments are comments added to the body of a post, not the tags and not replies.

[dyrdeer]

for everyone asking, tumblr is making it impossible for you to add onto ANY post without making it its own separate post. If you put any addition on someone's post its now your post. The OP won't even be privy to any notes it gets unless they check that specific post. This makes it impossible to track anything which is really detrimental to artists who need to know their reach or just see what people are saying about their work. It also just means you can't reblog with any additions without taking notes away from your original post. This is part of what made twitter hostile and its the last gasping breath of a site run by people who don't understand it.

[thatlittleegyptologist]

Since some of you don't seem to understand how this 'new notes' thing works, I'll break it down:

I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.

However...

If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.

If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.

Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.

If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.

It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.

That's what sucks.

I encourage people to go to tumblr's support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback' and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?', try that way of wording it). They're more likely to listen to you if you're not an asshole about it. I've already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.

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!

[cryptotheism]

Not only will this ruin a core element of Tumblr, it will make it very difficult to tell where and when a post is getting traction. People are on this website because it isn't Twitter. Making it more like Twitter will turn people away.

[cryptotheism]

The last thing this website needs is a culture of catty twitter-style quote-retweets. This will actively encourage more toxic users to interact with your posts because their traffic will be more difficult to track.
