ALTI’m keeping this alarm btw until Staff gets their heads out of their asses and admits nobody wants reblogs to be changed in the first place. The notes system is good. We like notes. Bring them back. Put the reblog button where it belongs. We don’t want your fucking number-go up-engagement-click-counting+profit-incentive-BULLSHIT.
@changes @staff - you’re blabbering all this lip service about how you want to listen to the community but you Never Actually Do! You don’t invite your users into the conversation. You don’t listen to us. There is no trust between the userbase and staff. Why is THIS your priority right now? When thousands of users have been shouting on deaf ears about accessibility problems, harassment issues, poor moderation, glitches and bugs, predatory advertisements, and no timely response to ticketed issues?
I am not satisfied with this response. I am not satisfied with this insistence. As if Staff just always knows best! And we should bow our plebian heads to whatever supreme orders you devise because our peasant minds can’t possibly attain the same level as brilliance. The brilliance to try to fix something that wasn’t broken and completely mangle one of the cornerstones of this website in the process????
“we pwomise we will awsk newxt time 😢😢😢” as if that’s acceptable when you should’ve asked the first! You shouldn’t have designed it at all, actually, if you were prioritizing updates based on user concerns! A social media platform has to have people doing the social part to make any kind of money. You want to follow the path of Twitter?? What, down it’s thousands of dollars of crippling debt?? Just fucking listen to your users!
