I don't know if you saw the other link I posted that explained it well, but here's another one. www.tumblr.com/lucifixion-p... It might require you to look at things from another perspective from your own; I'm trying to do that with you, & I'd appreciate if you'd try to see where we're coming from.

You are treating it like content churned out for amusement, not like a community activity, and that might be why you don't understand the frustration that long-term tumblr users are experiencing--because that's also what Tumblr is doing! It's making aggregation more powerful than creation.
000
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
This logic confuses me. If D (50 followers) posts a 2000 word story, and S (700 followers) rbs it with the comment "Yay!" and more people rb from S's post because more people see it...you think it's because they're excited about the word "yay" and not about THE STORY?
000
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
There are no social media sites that allow that kind of conversation, building onto it as a chain, like you observed. The Internet used to be like that! We don't want the change because we want that ability, which is lost with this new update, because reblogs with comments no longer involve OP.
010
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
i just realized you and i think of reblogging as serving different functions. *You* think of it as a way to make your own post and therefore to get YOUR due credit. *I* think of it as a way to boost OP or to participate in a convo--as do most long-time tumblr users, hence the complaints.
110
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
See, here's the issue though. The reblog chains are going to be damaged by the fact that OP etc will no longer be able to SEE what's happening in the reblog chains. Those are part of a conversation, not just someone posting and leaving it for the algorithm or whatever.
000
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
That's just it though. Tumblr is not like other social media, and dedicated Tumblr users don't want it to *be* like other social media--if they did, they would use other social media and not Tumblr. It's a remnant from the older internet, LiveJournal and so on, a blogging site with social features.
020
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
Well no, because when I like something I am liking both/the OP and the reaction, as are most people who are using Tumblr. I said very clearly that it's not about Number Go Up. It's about being able to engage and connect as a community and hold conversations.

Here's a better explanation of the issues than I've been able to explain. Obviously it doesn't really matter what you or I think, it's up to the devs, but here's why consistent tumblr users are upset about this. www.tumblr.com/havaheart/81... Anyway you have a good night. :)

Do you not see the problem? Tumblr is for community & engagement. This is essentially DISCOURAGING community and engagement. This approach only works if you think tumblr comments are for "winning" rather than participating in a larger dialogue.
000
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
Yes. So if, again, my friend rbs my post w/a reaction image or remark, it now treats it as though my friend's rb is the important part. Friend was not attempting to get the notes, but because they chose to engage with me as a person...
100
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
And if a popular friend is reblogging something I made, it's because THEY want to boost my work, not because they want to get more popular off my work. It's about community.
000
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
it's also not just about Numbers. If I post a story (example) I would like to see what people have to say about that story. If I post an interesting conversation starter, I want to see what people have to say.

Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
??? Weird because I've been on Tumblr for 15 years and usually when that's the case, people ARE reblogging for the original, perhaps *as well as* the reaction. Do you actually use Tumblr, out of curiosity? What do you use it for? Because that may be an issue in why we're seeing this differently.
000
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
Also the comments still go to OP in this new version, which is slightly hilarious, even though OP is not getting other notes. So even that isn't actually...fixed. (Also it was not that hard to leave a comment and @ the person you were replying to specifically.)
000
Vintage Android @vintageandroid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
Basically: Tumblr is trying to turn itself into Twitter to attract people from Twitter. You clearly like how Twitter/bsky/etc are set up and that's fine! But Tumblr is not Twitter, and it will not attract new users. It *will* make long-time users no longer interested in being on Tumblr.
