I couldn’t wait for Lapis’ device to arrive- I invited her to tour my ship, and to have access to my screens so that she may research anything she desired. She never got as far as the system, but was rather enraptured by my organic collection, spending all the time she had to give going from specimen to specimen, asking me questions and studying each closely. She said she wished she had a ship like mine, to store all her things. I always thought life as a Lapis would be luxurious, complete freedom of movement, the highest class of laborers…and truly a marvel in design– but I see now. They are given no tools. No ship. Their form and rank is their gift- and they are given nothing extra, say for a fancy cubby back on homeworld. What they keep must be carried on their person. Perhaps I should get her a storage unit, as well… I’ll order an extra when I get a batch for the upcoming moonstones.

I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.

However...

If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.

If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.

Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.

If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.

It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.

That's what sucks.
