we fucked up

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!

Hey so I feel like this is a bad idea and presents more incentive for spam and post-thieving. The biggest problem this presents is an even larger fracturing of information on what is already a rather difficult site to gather consensus information on. Are those who created the initial post now left in the dark if someone were to create a new reblog under their original post? Is the idea of any post reaching 1,000, 5,000, 10,000… notes now completely impossible? People do like virality to a degree, shrinking the sphere of interaction to individual posts risks individualizing the communities here on tumblr even further and risks hurting artists outreach on their original posts.

Roll it back.

TUMBLR NO WHY?!?

Idk if I want more beta writers because so far I got someone saying I need to pay them (dude I was upfront that I have no money) and someone who just saw the brand new from of it and ready for the rest

Like if you wanna be a beta reader for my book (soon to be) here are some things to ask yourself:

• Do you mind not being paid, and just being mention as well as a free copy of the book?
• Can you handle gore, extreme violence, body horror elements, insects and clowns?
• Do you use ai for anything but for helping you read

As above, so below 🌙🌞✨

This is horrible I can’t see the number of notes on my posts at all without adding up everything in the chain

Cursed cursed cursed evil evil evil

This is a terrible idea. Horrible.

EXTREMELY BAD HOLY FUCK.

This would kill the entire point of the reblog chain. Staff, please, don’t do this. It will transform the reblog chain in just plain twitter quotes.

Seriously, this is a tumblr-killer feature. This breaks the most fundamental way tumblr is different from any other social network. This makes tumblr just another blueskytwitterthreads. Or worse: An unfederated mastodon clone.

Please, stop this. Please, don’t roll this out.

Please, mutuals, post about this, comment and reblog the original post (while you still can without making it your own quote-post). I don’t know if staff is looking or if the feedback would matter, but seriously, this is a terrible change that would kill tumblr as we know it. Please, don’t roll it out.

look, I can endure any kind of UI changes that are supposed to help tumblr-rookies to understand how this works. They may be a nuisance, but that’s ok, we have x-kit or we can get used to buttons being here or there.

But this. This changes the data architecture. This changes the SINGLE THING that makes tumblr the “… yes and” website. This KILLS THE COLLABORATIVE POSTING THAT MAKES THIS SITE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MEDIA PLATFORMS.

Please, don’t do this. Please, don’t ship this.

Tumblr has explicitly said in the past that they do not look at comments on their updates posts. You have to PUT IN A SUPPORT TICKET AND SELECT FEEDBACK FROM THE DROPDOWN

Just spent 20 minutes rewriting the whole thing because now I hate how it was written

And how do I know it was 20 minutes?

Because I put on a 30 minutes timer because I wanted to see how much detail I can add.

The passage has changed and has more details and more maggots

What to know a fact about maggots?

garbage, rotting food, dead animals (carrion), feces, and overripe fruit.

So this might reveal a thing or two about what the puppet is made of ;)

Fuck this

I hate it again

Ok that getting dealt with tomorrow

I find it so funny that I keep getting induce to these knew (or well new to me) labels and I keep finding myself in them

Lately that new label is Fictionkin

And I didn’t know there was a word on how I felt with a charcther that I have on my pin

Yes while I ideiftly with he/they/it I still very femine in some aspects of my ideifhy because I am a gender masc

Also yes

I will be asking any knew people interested in being a Guinea pig for my book series for free just for a shot out and a free book if they plan to use ai

Because I am fine with ai if you need to use it to read (like me sometimes) but if your using it just to being using it than imma not be impressed

I get ai is a addiction hell i have one but I won’t have my work in it

The aftermath of chapter 25.

Copia survived, but Perpetua is back to finish the job.

So uuh, Ghost Chapter 25 huh😭

(Ugly ahh shitpost, might delete later idk, I literally spend only 7 minutes at this)

For example my birthday is June 24th so my Golden Birthday was when I turned 24.

Yes, when I was 2

Chapter 25 broke my heart. Emotionally, I started a little sad picture. But I believe in the best for our boy

So uuh, Ghost Chapter 25 huh😭

(Ugly ahh shitpost, might delete later idk, I literally spend only 7 minutes at this)
