“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.
the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.
#how idiotic it is to want to be like every other social media website#when twitter is actively shooting itself to the foot over and over and people are leaving#the charm of tumblr is the difference from the others#please listen to your userbase when we tell you this is a very bad idea#you either lose your existing userbase in favor of grabbing a couple new ones who probably won't even like it here anyway#or you keep your individuality and the existing users and perhaps draw in more users by being different#and ffs don't you dare touch the themes!#I learned my first html coding through fiddling with my themes#so many hours were put in that and I'm not talking about myself alone#look at those colorful blogs all over!#we present through our blogs what we love and do. turning them into gray or white sheets of no personality kill all of that!
