here’s the notes on that announcement post btw. I have an old version of the app so I can still see it. @staff @tumblr @support @changes in case your own incompetence literally doesn’t allow you to see just how badly this is being received - the people have spoken.

Guess its time to advertise Pillowfort as tumblr has just shot itself in the head!

Combination of tumblr, live journal and twitter, no algorithms, adult content allowed, already popular for fandom community, AND THEYVE BANNED AI CONTENT!!

Everyone go there!

Dear every mobile Tumblr user whose app updated, why do you have auto update turned on?

ughhhh. I’m not gonna leave, I’m gonna cling to the hope that SOMEBODY has an OUNCE of intelligence and actually rolls back this stupid update. but in case they don’t, I’m on bsky under this username and also wolrosettascrimes.bsky.social (I’m active on this one bc of my ffxiv hyperfixation), and I’m happy to give my discord to those who ask <3

if you’ve already done the hard bit and given feedback to support about tumblr’s new system for reblogs, might i also recommend going to the app store/google play/etc. and leaving a (respectful) comment there with a one star review?

You know it’s a good thing I like rambling in the tags instead of adding onto the post directly

In light of this abysmal change, I’ve turned off reblogs for all of my art. I suggest you do the same.

Ohhhh god people are gonna get ratioed on tumblr now….

Roll back the update @tumblr @staff @changes

I’ve come to make an announcement: @changes’s a bitch-ass motherfucker. It pissed on my fucking wife. That’s right, it took its Spaghetti-ass vibecoded dick out and pissed on my fucking wife, and it said its dick was this big. And I said “that’s disgusting!” So I’m making a callout post on my Tumblr dot com: @changes , you got a small dick, it’s the size of this walnut except way smaller.

what the fuck is this update. why are there 5 simultaneous feeds now

@tumblr @staff @changes this is dogshit change it back.

I’m already finding myself not saying things on other people’s posts.

Tumblr needs to get shot lowkey

speaking of updates, can tumblr remove the feature that keeps the reblog button green on posts you had reblogged but deleted later on? please. it’s driving me nuts.

ah, darn. editing a once-blank reblog to have text in it does appear to start a new reblog chain; that is, if someone reblogs something blank, and then edits it, it is the same as reblogging it with the commentary normally. if it hadn’t been that might have been something for xkit to try instead, but since it is, i guess not. :) aren’t :) we :) so :) happy :) with :) this :) change :)

“I wish there was a Tumblr update to commemorate the Ides of March”
