AI has made the internet so much less fun. I don't want to question whether a photo of a bunny is real. I don't want to worry about someone making a deepfake just because I posted a pic with my friends. I want to read a recipe and know that the photo is a real cake they made. Yes I know I need to touch grass but also I think I should be allowed to interact online without second-guessing whether someone fabricated every image for personal gain
come get your stars everyone

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.Â
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, youâll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post â we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out â stay tuned!
Let's talk about reblog notes.
We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise.Â
First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.
We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.
In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that, including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.
Keep an eye on @staff for updates to come soon.Â
you may be thinking that some of the reactions to the tumblr update are unfounded or panicky. but i meant what i said: this will fucking destroy any artist on this site.
for your reference, i tracked down one of my original posts; which had a notes section that looked like this:
and here is what it looks like now:
holy shit. by my math, that is not even two percent of the amount of aggregate notes my writing actually has. i am not able to see any of the literal hundreds of replies, comments, or tags.
maybe this is a bit presumptuous but i consider myself to be fairly popular on this site. i still remember the first time a large blog "picked up" my work - how quickly all of a sudden i was getting seen. notes on my poetry jumped from like 10 to 300 to 3k. overnight. that was the magic of tumblr, and the incredible writing community i found here.
but now if i answer any of my fellow writers, if i say please go check this out or even if i add additional context to my own work - the artist is removed completely from their own content.
do you want to reply to an "ask game"? do you want to reply to a story prompt? do you want to just make a funny joke with your friends? well, that sucks - you might be depriving them of literally 98% of their notes.
it isn't about clout chasing. it is about giving creators control over their own materials. even a silly post deserves to be connected directly with the person that thought it up.
the tumblr feedback form is currently crashed for me, but when it's up, everyone please go (politely! calmly! like you're walking in a burning building!) tell them what you think. in the meantime: @staff @changes like... i am begging you. literally just set up a suggestion box for ideas on how to monetize tumblr, surely one of us can help you.

Hello, weâre big computer company. We are truly grateful for your support! Our latest update will add a giant shit in the middle of your screen. You cannot remove it.
so basically theyâre obliterating reblog chains in favor of⌠quote retweets⌠whyâŚ
Griping continues: I LOVE when I find a post that so deeply resonates with me and I have a deep and genuine "Amazing post OP! Yes and yes and yes and--" and now I can't "Yes and" without stealing ALL the note engagement from my reblog onward??
No more engaging with OP? No more building up a communal post? No more stupid funny back-and-forth posts without bearing the stink that every person commenting is stealing the notes and the tags and compliments and the thoughts?
I have to shut up on everyone else's posts now. You all have to shut up on mine. I hate that!!! I like to talk and I like when yall fucking talk to me.
Everyone mumble in the tags forever I guess. Anyone who adds a comment unthinkingly gets shot in the street.
And like. One or the other has to win, right, if they do this? Either it's "No Reblog Chains Forever" or "Wanton Note Stealing Forever." Which one sucks less? Is it sadder to kill all conversation before it happens out of respect and consideration, or to go "Ah OP I love this post and have all these thoughts to tell you. Sorry that doing this is stealing the notes. Sorry. I wish it wasn't."
Do you just create a website of split opinions? Commenters who are wincing while doing it but genuinely want to express community and engagement, and OPs watching them with hostile disdain for stealing the fucking post?
I DID IN FACT JUST NOTICE THIS. WITH THIS POST.
MY REBLOG STOLE MY OWN FUCKING ENGAGEMENT. WHERE DO I CHECK THE NOTES ON THIS NOW 3-PART POST? FUCK ALL IF I KNOW
hurr hurr I'm a human body hurr hurr I'm gonna solve all my problems using mucus
"i require more fluids" well what did you do with the fluids I already gave you. hmm? did you make more mucus with them? you made more mucus with them.
Youâre not depressed. You just need $250,000 in your bank account.

iâm terrified to be on tumblr bcus of deltarune spoilers
The rest of the thread is here.
tl;dr: Donât monetize AO3, kids. You wonât like what happens next.
read this thread. this is by far the most concise explanation of a lot of different issues that iâve seen in fandom spaces in a while. cosigning both the linked thread and the thread about aus/uk/can law thatâs linked in-thread.
AHDHXHEBSG TWITTER WRITERS DID WHAT NOW???? AND PEOPLE PAID THEM????
If someone has never taken a class that includes copyright law, they may not know this stuff, so I donât necessarily blame random people for not knowing what copyright is, but like⌠maybe just maybe itâs something that should be taught????
Just another reminder, because this always drives me crazy, but even if monetizing your fic was 100% unambiguously legal and protected, AO3 would still not let you do it because AO3 was founded and is supported by people like me who want a fandom community that is completely divested from making money off of fic.
Yes, this. Lots of fanworks on AO3 are unambiguously legal. Fics based on Shakespeare plays and fairy tales and Greek mythology and The Great Gatsby and your original character from your D&D game are not violations of copyright, because no copyright applies to those things.
AO3 still doesnât let you monetize those things on the site, because we donât want the site to be commercial! Because thatâs not what itâs for!
Itâs not there for you (generic you) to make money off the efforts of the people who build and maintain the site for free! We arenât getting paid for the work we do to give you a nice site to use, just like you arenât getting paid for the work you do to create whatever art you share there. Because fandom is supposed to be a community where we share with each other, and therefore we all benefit.
The deal is, we give you a free, stable, safe platform to host your works. In exchange, you get a site that isnât covered in ads and tip jars and links to gofundme and âread the next chapter at my patreonâ. You get one goddamn place on the internet that isnât trying to make money off you. And we will defend that space and keep it non-commercial.
It's going so good đ
This is probably the most inclusive post ever made on Tumblr

"Realistic depiction of a panic attack" was one of the worst things to come from Twitter because now an animated character can't be shown in any kind of distress without people making a stupid joke about it. "Haha panic attack" and it actually a character reacting to watching their best friend straight up die in front of them. Also what's wrong with portraying panic attacks in animation huh. Why are panic attacks so funny to you
NATIVE CARBON DIOXIDE FOUND ON JUPITERâS MOON EUROPA
The discovery made using NASA's powerful space telescope brings scientists a step closer to determining if the salty water oceans of Europa
HOLY SHIT, IT'S HAPPENING! EVERYBODY STAY CALM!
For those confused, this combined with liquid water being there makes this the strongest evidence of alien life to date.
These are conditions shockingly similar to earth.
For anyone wondering, the reason Europa (as well as Saturn's Enceladus) is warm enough to have oceans is because of the tidal friction from the large gas giant right next to it. (Also why Io is constantly erupting, it's so close to Jupiter it can't stop) Any life on these moons could resemble the life we have in geothermal vents and sunless depths of our own ocean.
YOOOOOOOOO
The massive spacecraft heads for Europa to search for signs of whether the ocean thought to exist beneath the moonâs icy shell could support
